The Newark Farmers Market is one of the most diverse farmers markets in the Easy Bay. Welcoming a wide range of farmers, food purveyors, and artisans, the diversity of the produce and products truly is a reflection of the vibrant community of shoppers that support the market. The Newark market is open every Sunday, year-round, rain or shine, from 9am to 1pm, and features over 55 farmers and vendors.
