Stonestown Farmers Market
The Verdict
"Sunday mornings 9 AM to 1 PM at Stonestown Galleria in the Sunset. Free parking and easy access make this the practical choice for families. Smaller than Ferry Plaza but less crowded and more relaxed."
What you need to know
Free parking changes everything at a farmers market. Stonestown Galleria’s lots mean you can load the car without circling for street spots, and families from across the Sunset take advantage every Sunday morning.
The market runs 9am to 1pm in the parking area near the mall’s western entrance. The setting lacks the charm of the Ferry Building, but the convenience makes up for the aesthetics. Fill your bags, load the trunk, and get home before the afternoon fog settles in.
Many vendors work both Stonestown and Clement Street, alternating Sundays between the two Richmond and Sunset markets. Check with your favorite farmers about their schedule if you develop loyalties.
San Francisco State students walk over from the campus next door, mixing with families and retirees who have been shopping here for years. The crowd skews practical, focused on quality and value rather than atmosphere and scene.
The Sunset neighborhood surrounding the market offers some of the best casual dining in San Francisco. Taraval and Irving Streets run parallel with restaurants and shops that reward exploration after the market closes.
The fog that defines the Sunset keeps summer temperatures cool while the rest of the city bakes. Bring a layer even in July and August. The marine influence that makes this market comfortable also makes the morning chill linger.
