San Pablo Farmers' Market

San Pablo Farmers' Market sits within a network run by PCFMA, a nonprofit founded in 1988 with a stated mission to support California farmers and communities through farmers' markets serving the diverse Bay Area. That mission gives this market a clear frame: a seasonal stop where produce growers, specialty food vendors, and nutrition-access programs meet in one place. In San Pablo, the market combines direct farmer sales with practical food access, including CalFresh/EBT use and Market Match support for fruits and vegetables.

Why it matters locally

PCFMA's mission centers on supporting California farmers and communities across the Bay Area, and San Pablo Farmers' Market is one expression of that work. The vendor mix named for this market ties shoppers to farms and food producers from within California, including Andreotti Farms in Half Moon Bay and Stepladder Ranch & Creamery in Cambria. That matters in practical terms: shoppers are buying from growers cultivating produce and from a family farm making goat and cow's milk cheeses while also raising heritage pigs and citrus.

The market's local role also includes nutrition access. PCFMA has highlighted advocacy around CalFresh nutrition access and the California Nutrition Incentive Program, and its markets use CalFresh/EBT alongside Market Match to help put more fresh fruits and vegetables on the table.

What you'll find there

The named lineup points to a compact mix with an emphasis on farm produce, specialty dairy, and prepared food rooted in specific producers rather than a long generic roster. PCFMA also spotlights these vendors through videos and recipes, which gives a fuller sense of what they're bringing to market.

• -Andreotti Farms offers fresh, sustainable produce from the longtime Andreotti family farm in Half Moon Bay.
• -Stepladder Ranch & Creamery brings goat and cow's milk cheeses, citrus, and heritage pigs from its family farm in Cambria.
• -Oliver's Microgreens Slaw features a prepared slaw built around microgreens.

PCFMA has also produced an Andreotti family farm video, a tour of Stepladder Ranch & Creamery, and a recipe tied to Oliver's Microgreens Slaw, adding context around the producers and products connected to this market.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed at the market, a detail that can change plans before you head out. The market is held at 13831 San Pablo Ave. in San Pablo and runs only during the June-to-September season, so timing matters more here than at a year-round market. Restrooms are not available on site.

Payment planning is more flexible than cash-only market shoppers might expect. PCFMA identifies its markets as places where WIC-FMNP, EBT, and Market Match help make fresh food more affordable, and the San Pablo market accepts SNAP/EBT. If you're shopping specifically for produce, that nutrition-access setup is one of the clearest reasons to put this market on your seasonal routine.

Payments & SNAP

San Pablo Farmers' Market accepts SNAP/EBT, and PCFMA markets use Market Match with CalFresh/EBT to make fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable. PCFMA also notes WIC-FMNP among the payment and nutrition-access programs used across its farmers' markets. Payment methods are presented clearly for visitors planning a food-budget-focused trip.
