Clement Street Farmers Market

📍 The Richmond 💰 Free entry 🎯 Farmers Market

The Verdict

"Sunday mornings, 9 AM to 2 PM on Clement Street in the Richmond. Combine it with dim sum and a walk through one of the best food shopping streets in the city. Year-round, rain or shine."

What you need to know

Clement Street already has some of the best food shopping in San Francisco, and on Sunday mornings the farmers market makes it even better. The market runs along Clement between 2nd and 4th Avenues, adding fresh produce to a street already packed with Asian grocers and specialty food shops.

Sunday markets run 9am to 2pm year round. The fog that blankets the Richmond most mornings lifts by mid morning, and shoppers who brave the early chill get rewarded with the best selection.

The vendor mix complements rather than competes with the existing Clement Street businesses. Farmers bring produce from the Central Valley. Bakers offer breads and pastries. Prepared food vendors provide breakfast options for shoppers building appetite browsing the stalls.

After the market, the rest of Clement Street awaits. Green Apple Books sits a few blocks west. Dim sum restaurants open for weekend brunch. The butchers and fish markets run sales to compete with the market crowds.

The Richmond neighborhood built its identity around food, and the Sunday farmers market reinforces that reputation. Immigrants from every corner of Asia opened the restaurants and groceries that made this street famous. The farmers market adds another layer to an already remarkable food scene.

Parking requires patience. Street spots fill early, but the residential blocks north and south of Clement usually have openings if you are willing to walk a block. The 38 Geary drops you right in the middle of everything.

Pro tips

Pair your market visit with a stroll down Clement Street — the Richmond's main drag is packed with dim sum spots, bakeries, and Asian grocery stores. A true neighborhood experience.
