Hayward Farmers Market

I love farmers markets and this is no expectionIts ready to eat aisle is nice, with a burger booth, pastry booth, bread booth, taco truck, empanada booth and moreMadCreationz: was the burger booth, a look at their site and it seems like theyre a bbq place mainly. But in this market they did burgers and sides. I ordered the Royal with cheese which is a classic hamburger with usual ingredients like lettuce, tomato, cheese etc. but the patty is an angus patty. Costed me 15.50$ including tax. I spent an hour travel back home before I actually ate it so take it with a grain of salt. Coming into it, I was happy to see the bun looked shiny, but in reality it still didnt meet my expectations. Its a good size burger. All the ingredients have substance to it. Cheese wasnt melty but I appreciate its flavor. But I couldnt tell the patty was angus. Id say its comparable to a jack in the box burger. Also ive been craving a really really good burger so my standards are highEmpanada stall: there was a stall that only sold empanadas and I bought a beef empanada there too (5.51$ including tax. It was very floppy, and he gave it to me in a paper bag. Asked if I wanted mild or spicy sauce. Got spicy, spicy wasnt really that spicy so all you white people can try it too lol. Empanada was so floppy I couldnt dip the sauce, I had to poor it. Eating experience was annoying, taste and flavor wise, was alright. Wished the shell held up better. Beyond the ready to eat stalls, theres the fruits and veggies. I was laser focused on strawberries so Ill be talking a lot about itThere were a total of 4 stalls with strawberries. 2 stalls were both by Rodriguez. One was an unnamed grocery stall and another was I forgot the name only focused on strawberries. Compared to Old Oakland farmers market, Hayward and CV's strawberry game is way stronger. I bought grapes, it was 3$/lbI went to the grocery stall that had other fruits and veggies and picked my strawberries there, I got the 3 pack and costed me 15$. I ate a few and they were really good. Besides strawberries, I cant tell you much about any other stalls lolId say this has more to offer than the CV farmers market. But not by much. The ready to eat section is much stronger in Hayward than CV. Theres also more produce here. As usual, theres also tables in the middle of the market, theres a guy singing with guitar too. 5/5 cant complain

always look forward to this on Saturdays. When I went at the end of April 2024 though it seemed to have more stands than usual! I wasn't complaining though and was glad to see the larger selection. My main reason for coming back here though without a doubt is for honey restock. If you haven't had Joe's Honey you're missing out!

A quiet farmers market, I went last weekend at around noon (my first time going!) and there weren't a lot of stalls compared to other farmers markets I've been to. There are a lot of vegetable/fruit stands from all around the Bay. There's a parking garage right next to the stands which was great!

I love this farmers market. Been going here for the last 10 yrs. However not sure why I have not written any reviews duh i come here once a month and since I mass-cook I love that I buy everything here fresh then cook them right away then freeze whatever I cook. Or At least wait for another few days before I cook the rest. The place has about 20-30 stalls compared to the one in Castro Valley and San Leandro closeby our place. That's why I came back here. It's clean and has a lot of varieties. Definitely recommended !!

My new favorite farmers market in the area. I checked out Bayfair and Castro Valley locations - both are nice but Hayward location had a great energy to it. Came around 10 am and found street parking. The lively music set the mood to browse and shop. Got an iced coffee and made my way down the aisles. Theres many warm and friendly vendors. Also, take a card as payment which is nice for someone like me who tend to overspend...and lots and lots of samples! The fruits I got were sweet and delicious.I stopped by the food vendor tents and had to grab tamales, pot stickers and southern food to go.

F O O DProduce+ Peaches, nectarines, apricots+ Rainier cherries+ Blueberries and strawberries: currently peak sweetnessGrub+ MAC'D with Love: aesthetically pleasing, Instagram-worthy macarons (see photo)+ Mama Bakehouse: We got the golden scone (ginger, turmeric, cardamom, black pepper), early grey (infused) Kouign-amann, and rhubarb rose Kouign-amann *chef's kiss*. Will have to return soon to try the other items. Felt like a kid at a candy store checking out all the unique flavors.+ Don's Tamales: Tons of vegetarian and vegan tamales. Great for quick meals when you're busy. Can be frozen and reheated. We got the spicy cauliflower, eggplant, and chili pepper corn and cheese.S E R V I C E+ Super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful vendors.+ Lots of samples. You can ask about sampling if you don't see any.+ I was eyeing the cornbread and Mac n cheese at one stall, but I sadly didn't have cash on me. Joe, who was promoting Sri Steve Iyer, highly praised the cornbread and offered to get me one to try.+ Many vendors accepted card and ApplePay (and some say it on their signs) but safe to double check before you start grabbing stuffA M B I A N C E+ Casual, family and date friendly + Not as chaotic/crowded as other farmers markets that I typically visit. We arrived around 10am+ Easy to find, right next to the post office+ Ample free street parking, there's also a garageT L ; D RI love farmers markets, and my husband decided to take us to one we haven't been to before. Safe to say this is my new favorite farmers market. Lots of options for produce and grub.

Drove all the way from San Carlos and no market. Would have been nice to know it was closed today ( I'm assuming)

Every Saturday right in front of city hall, next to BART, this we'll sized farmers market is a staple for my family. We love to come for the fresh produce and food offerings, and usually stay to enjoy live music with our food before taking our produce home.

First time trying this farmers market.I see some familiar vendors which is good. There isn't much variety of products like baked goods, or other food items except pork buns and popcorn.But it definitely has lots of veggie and fruit vendors.I don't appreciate people riding bikes through the narrow walk area.

the hayward farmers market is a fun and lively way to start the weekend. you can grab a bite, browse the bounty of fruits and veggies, hear live music and bask in the morning to afternoon warmth. offerings vary weekly. there's plenty of farmers selling seasonal produce. then there's the ready to eat foods/beverages like lemonade, coffee, baked goods, toast, hummus, tamales, etc. there's also a handful of handmade or homemade goods like soap, spice blends, jewelry. conveniently located in downtown and within walking distance of the bart station, shops, restaurants, the library, post office, and city hall. misc:-free and ample parking on the street or in the garage-dogs/pets not allowed in the market-ebt/food stamps accepted (just need to exchange at the booth for tokens)
