Delicious Market Recipes & Free Seasonal Tasting | Jack London Square

With more than 40 vendors, the Jack London Square Farmers Market offers local produce, food craft products, and breakfast and lunch options.

The Jack London Square Farmers Market is operated by CUESA at Oakland’s Jack London Square on Sundays from 10 am to 3 pm, year round, rain or shine. Founded in 1989, the Jack London Square Farmers Market has deep roots in Oakland, providing a vibrant waterfront marketplace of local farms, food crafters, and restaurants for Bay Area families.

Each week, visit the CUESA Food Shed for a free seasonal tasting, and to pick up easy and delicious market recipes to take home. Bring your kids by the CUESA Kids’ Corner for crafts and other fun activities for the whole family.

Customers using CalFresh (EBT) at the farmers markets can double their dollars (up to $10 per market day) through the Market Match program, which offers free market coins redeemable only for fruits and vegetables. Visit the CUESA Info Booth to learn more.

Delicious Market Recipes & Free Seasonal Tasting | Jack London Square

Grace Nguyen, Asian Box

Stop by the CUESA Classroom for a cooking demo featuring the seasonal bounty of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.

From her childhood, all the way through culinary school and beyond, Asian Box’s Executive Chef Grace Nguyen’s interest in food and cooking dictated her path in life. Asian Box brings together both her personal background and professional experiences by combining her fine dining training with her family’s Vietnamese heritage. Grace, a graduate of the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, most recently worked with acclaimed Chef Charles Phan as sous chef of Slanted Door and executive chef of Out the Door. She offers a fresh, aromatic menu with incredibly vibrant flavors — including sauces such as her own “Miss Jones’ Sriracha,” “Asian Street DustTM” spice blend, and housemade “Jungle Jerky.”

All demos take place in the CUESA Classroom (under the white tents in front of the Ferry Building) and are free to the public, with recipes and samples for all.
