Ecology Center Farmers' Markets

The Ecology Center has operated certified farmers' markets in Berkeley since 1987. Farmers' markets are festive, family-friendly, open-air marketplaces where California farmers bring fresh, locally-grown fruits, nuts, vegetables, and farm-processed foods to sell directly to consumers. Ecology Center Farmers' Markets are committed to supporting small-scale farmers who practice sustainable agriculture. At the markets, you’ll find fresh baked goods, jams and preserves, juices, olive oils, goat milk and cheeses, prepared foods, nursery plants, and flowers. Often musicians entertain the shoppers, and special cultural and educational events are scheduled regularly throughout the year.
