Noe Valley Farmers' Market

The Noe Valley Farmers Market is a year-round California certified farmers market operated primarily by community volunteers. This small neighborhood market meets the community’s needs for fresh, local produce while helping to foster a community dedicated to caring and social justice. The market has evolved into the neighborhood’s town square – a place where people know they will meet other neighbors and feel part of a community. The market is run by a small, local volunteer board that established and follows the market’s mission. The Noe Valley Farmers Market is guided by three principles: The farmers’ market will serve in the economic sense of a market, but also as a place where neighbors will meet each other and develop relationships with farmers and market volunteers. The market board will strive to support and strengthen the community through events, education and neighborhood outreach. Locally grown food is front and center at a farmers’ market. Most (not all) of our vendors sell organic fruits and vegetables. Produce grown in healthy soil, free of pesticides and petroleum-based fertilizers, is healthier for the humans who consume it and the workers who grow and harvest it. It also sustains the health of the farmland, the surrounding watershed and everything that lives downstream from the farm. A farmers’ market is just a part of a food economy built upon a web of small local farms. Compared to large-scale industrial agriculture, this employs more people, provides more food security, reduces carbon-intensive transportation costs, and promotes crop diversity. The dollars you spend at a farmers’ market stay closer to home.
