Irvington Farmers' Market

Small and nice farmers market. I come here to get my sugarcane juice fix from Sweetcanes. I also get the nut butter and hummus guy. There's also some good cheesecake vendor and other food vendors. Plenty of fruits and vegetables vendors to choose from. They sell balut (fertilized duck egg) here as well. Today seem less vendors than usual. There is a vendor that sells beef bacon and it's so good but he wasn't here today.

Fresh fruit season already started, but we finally got a chance to get back to this Farmer's Market. Fresh Peaches and nectarines (white & yellow). We picked up some cherry plums as well.

It's a small farmers market with limited parking. Plus there's an unpleasant sewer smell on Bay St. Other than the smell, some unique vendors sold Balut (chicken fetus egg), cheesecake, dumplings, Asian produce, and a French bakery. You also have a chance to sample a few seasonal fruits from the fruit vendors. Be warned, there may be flies flying across all vendors, including the baked goods, so it's best to heat it before consuming. Also, there's that one Mexican vendor that kept asking me to pay a certain bill because they don't want to give lots of change. If you don't live near Irvington, I'm sorry you must park farther on the street or near Apna Bazaar. If you live around the neighborhood it's a good walk to complete your 10K steps. The best part is it's close to a coffee shop where I can relax and chill after shopping for produce.

DATE: 08/28/2022Back in my hometown, it is super hard to find really fresh Moringa leaves and vegetable and Jute leaves and other fresh vegetables. I was really craving these vegetables since I miss my grandma's cooking so I searched up on Yelp and Google for the nearest farmer's market and it lead me to this location.Since my hometown farmer's market always disappointed me as well as other farmer's markets, I was quite surprised by my experience here. I did not expected to find the freshest vegetables ever! Especially rare vegetables like Jute Leaves and Moringa. They are only open from 9AM-2PM and I arrived around 11AM and by then, I expected them to be running low on produce, but they weren't! Everything was also really cheap and way better than vegetables in the supermarket. The Jute Leaves came in a large bundle and was only $3! Moringa vegetable was $7/pound, which I think is pretty average. I only saw one stall selling Moringa leaves and I may have bought the last one only for $8 for a large bundle! I was really satisfied with my purchases and since I bought a lot, I now have no idea how to finish all of them, but it's okay, I now know a place where I can buy these rare produce to bring to my grandma.

Fresh ingredients and fresh food. It's small but nice. They even have local bee pollen! Perfect way to spend a weekend morning.

I love this market, delicious fruits and veggies. I had an Indian wrap that was pretty good and the mini cheesecakes were the bomb, especially the Ube flavor.

This is a quaint little farmers market that is almost always packed to the brim. It shares a parking lot with several other businesses in the plaza, so parking can be very tough to find. The prices are reasonable and there are several vendors that sell fruits and veggies. There is also live music playing each Sunday. I enjoy coming here and would consider coming here more often if parking wasn't so hectic each time.

I love this market and the fact that it's open Sunday. Often we miss our Hayward Saturday Farmers Market so is good to have this option. The bakers and proximity to home at the Hayward market is the draw but this Fremont option is bigger and they have a fish and Somoma meat market so it's kind of a toss up anyway.

We didn't realize farmers markets were still open and came back to Irvington for a the first time in a long time. We love this one because there are a lot of Asian vegetables to choose from like Bok Choy, Yu Choy, Ginger, etc... We went looking for Gai Lan today but don't think it was in season.Since Covid almost all stalls are roped off and you are not allowed to touch anything. Just tell them what you want and they help pick it for you and bag it.You park at the parking lot next to it and walk right in, its so close. Just google "mi pueblo" if you've never been here and when you get to that plaza with this restaurant just park here. We used to go to the Campbell and Sunnyvale ones when we lived in San Jose and parking was always crazy so it's much appreciated here.Today the stuff that stood out was:-Corn Stall, the stall that sells only corn. White, yellow, and yellow/white hybrid. It was 75 cents each and cheaper the more you get. The corn is so good and will make normal supermarket corn taste like crap. Try it out!-Honey Stall, We started going for raw-honey a couple years ago because the store bought ones always seemed to freeze solid. The owner was very informative and helped us choose from the different batches she had on the table. -Flowers Stall, a little off the main walkway, very informative information on the flowers we bought and how to take care of them by using a little bleach and sugar w/ the water and how to properly trim dahlia stems.

A lot of local vendors with delicious fruits, vegetables, and other goods like meat, bread, and flowers. The sugarcane juice stand was the highlight of our farmers market experience. My wife enjoyed her drink! We're definitely coming back again.
