What you need to know
Alemany Farmers Market is the oldest farmers market in California, opened in 1943 and operated by the City and County of San Francisco from a permanent open-air shed on the border between Bernal Heights and the Excelsior.

The vendor mix reflects Central Valley immigrant farming communities, with produce, eggs, flowers, and prepared foods, and prices run lower than at the Ferry Plaza market.
