The Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association operates and promotes Certified Farmers' Markets in local communities throughout Northern California.
Come visit one of our farmers' markets for the freshest seasonal produce, all California Grown.

This week's featured product is Watermelon. | Watermelons are a refreshingly juicy summer treat and are the perfect accompaniment to any party, picnic, or barbeque. They are best cut into pieces and enjoyed raw, but can also be used in salads or soups or blended into drinks. Choose firm, symmetrical, fruit free of cracks, bruises, or soft spots. Ripe watermelon will have a healthy sheen, a dull rind, dried stem, and a buttery yellow underside where it touched the ground.
Once picked, watermelon will not ripen easily, making the farmers’ market the ideal place to buy the freshest, juiciest, sweetest watermelons. | Click here to find producers growing Watermelon. | Click here to find recipes using Watermelon. |  |

Latest News Want to sell in a farmers' market?
The Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association welcomes new certified agricultural producers and food producers to sell within the 40+ markets that PCFMA operates each week. For details and application forms, visit the Resources for Producers page.
As a general rule, PCFMA does not provide space for jewelry, crafts or other non-agricultural or non-food items in its markets. However, a limited amount of space may be available at the Saturday markets in Vallejo, Vacaville and Tracy for local artisans wishing to sell crafts of their own design and creation. |
