Evergreen Farmers' Market - San Jose, California

There are a few food vendors, but most booths have what you’d most expect at a farmers market - fruit, vegetables, produce (eggs, nuts, dried fruit … ). People are friendly and prices are reasonable. Because tables are arranged singly around a square it may seem small but, truthfully, there are as many booths as I’ve seen at all but the largest markets. And I really like the fact that you needn’t wade through a crowd because people are spread out. Two thumbs up for this market!

Beautiful place to shop fruits vegetables honey eggs variety of hummus breads pies etc. it looks like all the stalls are back after the pandemic. There are nice cafe, restaurants and other stores for a Sunday morning breakfast and shopping. There is also a nice water body just steps away from the farmers market. It’s a perfect place to have breakfast, take a walk and shop fresh produce.

I love this farmers market. So much variety. They have baked goods, honey, eggs, fresh fish, flowers, all kinds of fruits and veggies. They have people there playing music, and today there was a Thai street food stall with very tasty food. Prices are all pretty great at most stalls. It's a fairly busy event, so be prepared for that. Bring a rolling cart of some kind if you can; a hefty bag at the very least.

Smaller than the other farmer's markets I've been to, so you do end up going to every stall. Today they had the thai street food, kettle corn stand, bread and egg stand, the pie stand and the honey stand for food and then the veggie and fruits stands. We sampled the bean and carrot pies and the thai tacos with chicken and chicken satay. The bean pies were sweet which was a bit unpleasant for me as I was expecting a savory flavor. The carrot pies was good. The thai tacos were interesting just a little dry. The satay and the peanut sauce were delicious. The fruits and veggies looked super fresh!! Ample place to sit and social distance except when you're shopping at the stalls. There is a little pond close by where you can also go if needed. Nice to have something close to home and will be back here, particularly if the food trucks come back!

Located in the center of a residential area, its a small market, but its location is what makes it cute, quaint and convenient, for visitors and the residents nearby.

Yah. So I LOVE farmers markets. Could and probably would go to one everyday of the week, if one was close by and I could easily cook. But with only one working burner, cooking hasn't been much of a viable option these days.

On this particular day, it was a well deserved break from the monotony I live in. A nice drive, a half day road trip just for a break.

As stated, the market is located in the center of a residential area called Evergreen, the market vendors outline the park, which is a single one way circle, with retailers along its perimeter, including a Walmart. Surprisingly, that Walmart fits within the theme of the retailers.

Surrounding the farmers market are apartment buildings and residences, its like its own little city, tucked away from the main thoroughfare.

It's not a huge market, I'd say maybe about 15-20 market booths, an easy 20-35 minute walk, to see all the booths, if you don't linger too long at the booths.

There was a variety of fruits and vegetables for sale which were more affordably priced, than prices found from several other markets Ive frequented in the east bay area.

Parking is ample, free and easy. For a 30 minute impromptu drive on a Sunday, the trip was worth the getaway.

It’s pretty decent for a small, local neighborhood farmers market. It’s not trying to be all flashy like some farmers markets do. They have good fruits and veggies. They have bean pies, eggs, honey, and other stuff like that. And lately they had shave ice!

Too few booths, imo. The bread booth only had bread with animal products. Still, it's a nice ride up Aborn Rd on my bike. They have someone playing music, with their hat out.

8/22/24 update:
There is a young woman at the information booth/EBT booth who has an attitude that could use improvement.

Also, there is a new bread booth with "vegan" clearly marked on several varieties of delicious bread. I appreciated this because the Beckman bread booth didn't.
