Castro Farmers’ Market Returns for its 15th Season! 

San Francisco (April 3, 2024) Mark your calendars for the return of the Castro Farmers’ Market! It is back for another season, bringing the bounty of California’s freshest fruits and vegetables, live music, and a lively atmosphere to the Duboce Triangle, Eureka Valley, Corona Heights, and Lower Haight neighborhoods. 

 Mark your calendars! The festivities kick off on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024, at 3 pm and run every Wednesday from 3 pm to 7 pm until November 20th. 

This season marks the 15th year of the Castro Farmers’ Market on Noe St. It is a well-loved and strongly supported community event which brings many San Franciscans together to celebrate farmers’ best harvest. It is a jolly atmosphere where many people habitually do their weekly food shopping. Visit with farmers, and meet up with neighborhood friends.

The market, located on Noe St. between Market and Beaver, will be open every Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., and run through November 20. The entire Castro community is invited to join the opening day ceremonies, MC’d by community activist Donna Sachet and District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman. Terry Asten Bennet will speak for the Castro Merchants followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4:30 p.m. by Donna Sachet to conclude the festivities. Acoustic guitar maestro Andy Drake will be here to entertain the assembled group. 

More than a dozen California farmers and other local food producers will be selling their products at the market on opening day. Mia Simmans, manager of the Castro Farmers’ Market, said, “We are looking forward to kicking off the season with a bang. We have a lot of great things planned and we will offer a terrific selection of California-grown produce.”

The market, made possible with the support of the Castro Merchants, makes it easy to support California farmers and enjoy the freshest seasonal bounty. This year, discover exciting new producers alongside returning favorites. Celebrate the seasons as local farms offer a constantly changing variety of California produce, including tasty vegetables, juicy strawberries and citrus, and fresh eggs. The market will have everything you need to check off your food needs for the week.

With its headquarters in Concord, CA, the Pacific Coast Farmers’ Market Association, a nonprofit organization, establishes and operates community-supported certified farmers’ markets and other direct marketing outlets throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. All PCFMA farmers’ markets accept WIC-FMNP (Woman, Infants, and Children Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program) coupons and CalFresh EBT.
