The El Cerrito Farmers' Market has blossomed into a vibrant community hub, offering a range of experiences for visitors. With its recently expanded footprint, the market now features a diverse selection of vendors, showcasing fresh produce, artisanal baked goods, tasty treats, and handcrafted items. Patrons can enjoy the upbeat atmosphere, enhanced by the sounds of live music from local artists, which creates a festive ambiance on market days.

In a significant move towards inclusivity, the market is now fully accessible to all customers, proudly accepting EBT transactions. This initiative ensures that healthy, fresh food options are available to everyone in the community.

As a Certified Farmers' Market, it meets the high standards set by the State of California Department of Agriculture, assuring consumers of the quality and authenticity of the products available. The market has been operating since 1994, serving as a platform for local certified growers to connect directly with consumers while fostering a sense of community.

The Regional Farmers’ Market Association began operating the Market in May 2025. Manager, Greg Pursley, notes, “This is one of the more unique markets in the Bay Area... It’s not huge, doesn’t have huge crowds, but it’s got a good variety of products. It’s the place to come to because it’s a nice, casual market.”

The Farmers Market at El Cerrito Plaza welcomes visitors every Tuesday and Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM, inviting everyone to come out, explore, and support local agriculture.
