Farmers Markets in California (2026)

1,217 in California as of the last refresh, drawn from the USDA Local Food Portal and state agriculture directories. 4 publish opening hours that include today. Coverage tracks what those directories carry — a farm that has never registered with USDA won't appear here.

Market days vary by town and most run seasonally rather than year-round. Where a market publishes its schedule to USDA, the day and hours are on its listing; where it doesn't, the market's own website or phone number is the reliable answer.

Many do, and several run matching programs that double SNAP dollars on fresh produce. Listings carry SNAP / EBT, WIC and Senior FMNP tags where the market reports them to USDA.

Not necessarily — rules differ by market. Producer-only markets require vendors to grow or make what they sell; others allow resellers. Ask at the stall, or check the market's own vendor policy.
