Vallejo Farmers' Market

Vallejo Farmers' Market pairs a weekly downtown stop at Georgia and Marin streets with a larger mission that reaches beyond a single block. It operates under PCFMA, a nonprofit founded in 1988 to support California farmers and communities by providing farmers' markets across the Bay Area. That framing matters here because the market is not only a place to shop on Saturday mornings; it is also part of an organization that links farm sales, nutrition access, and community food programs under one banner. For Vallejo shoppers, that translates into a year-round market where farm goods and affordability tools sit side by side.

Why it matters locally

PCFMA's stated mission is to support California farmers and communities, and Vallejo Farmers' Market is one of the places where that mission becomes practical each week. The market's food-access emphasis is especially clear in its use of EBT and Market Match, a program intended to help put more fresh fruits and vegetables on families' tables. That focus is reinforced by PCFMA's broader nutrition-access work, including a CalFresh Nutrition Access blog feature and advocacy around continued funding for the California Nutrition Incentive Program. The result is a market shaped not only by farm sales, but by systems that connect shoppers to produce through direct support programs.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix highlighted here leans toward farm-grown produce, specialty dairy, and prepared food with a clear tie back to named producers in PCFMA's materials. Instead of a long generic roster, the featured names point to a market where a few distinct products help define the shopping trip.

• -Andreotti Farms brings fresh, sustainable produce grown by a family that has farmed for nearly 100 years in Half Moon Bay.
• -Stepladder Ranch & Creamery offers goat and cow's milk cheeses, citrus, and heritage pigs from its family farm in Cambria.
• -Oliver's Microgreens Slaw adds a prepared item centered on microgreens rather than a standard deli offering.

PCFMA's event and media features also give a fuller sense of these vendors, including a video on the Andreotti family farm, a tour of Stepladder Ranch & Creamery, and a recipe built around Oliver's Microgreens Slaw.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is one of the clearest visit-planning details for this market. Restrooms are also not available on site, so that is worth planning around before you arrive. The market takes place at Georgia and Marin streets in Vallejo and runs on Saturdays from late morning into early afternoon, making it a straightforward downtown stop rather than an all-day event. If you shop with nutrition benefits, this is a market where those programs are part of the setup rather than an afterthought, with EBT accepted and Market Match promoted through PCFMA. County Agricultural Commissioner certification is part of the framework for farms selling products there, while separate oversight applies to non-agricultural food booths and trucks.

Payments & SNAP

EBT is accepted at Vallejo Farmers' Market, and PCFMA also promotes Market Match to help shoppers put more fresh fruits and vegetables on the table. PCFMA's nutrition-access materials also reference WIC-FMNP and Senior FMNP alongside CalFresh outreach, underscoring that affordability is a central part of how the market operates.
