Downtown Palo Alto Farmers' Market — Local services in Palo Alto

Very comfortable little marketplace. Don't come here expecting lower-than-grocery prices, although the quality of the produce is rather expectional. I often see that the vendors who provide samples get more customers. Here are a couple places that really stood out:

Smit Farms My god is this farm amazing. Owner is very cheerful. What really spoke to me was the indescribable quality of their nuts. The flavor of the Applewood smoked almonds took me by surprise. The honey roasted almonds and butter toffee almonds are also incredible. After having a couple of those, I couldn't stop thinking about them. They also have crazy juicy cherries.

Go Nutty Some of their savory nuts beat the deliciousness of Smit's. They're quite good with spice. I recommend the Siracha nuts.

Kasaiwase Farm I highly suggest you try their Flavor Rosa Pluots and their Roboda Apricots. Especially the apricots.

Shampa's Pies The guy at the stall is very likeable! The friendliest vendor in the market. Best pie I've ever had. Try the walnut one or the sweet potato pie. Love that they offer delivery services! A must-have on Thanksgiving.

PanoRama Baking Company Delicious and visually appealing breads!

Extra: Satkar 's Indian Cusine offers huge $2 samosas (3 for $5). They are yummy & very filling. In addition, [Forgot Name]'s Pecan Macaroons are a must-try. $0.85 a piece. Unbelievably chewy, malty, cool and airy. Also, give Mulberry...

My favorite Sunday morning Farmer’s Market! A bustling crowd accented by colorful produce booths and street performer music. Fresh fruits, vegetables, handmade popcorns, ice cream, fresh baked goods, etc. I really enjoyed this little market and appreciated the selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. Like strawberries, apples, oranges and green onions, cilantro, fresh garlic, & so much more. Rambling from booth to booth, street to street, tasting samples of fresh peach slices on one end to flavorful dipping sauces on the other (“Roti Pakistani Authentic Food”). Under the morning sun, listening to the music and people watching, love the many delicious dishes and fresh coconut too. Great way to start the day. The people here are super friendly and helpful, I enjoy the food, the flowers, the music...

Five outstanding organic produce stands, lots of great seasonal fruit (including mulberries), sheep's milk cheeses, fresh mozzarella, great fish and meats, three artisanal bakeries (one brings the bread hot, straight from the oven), good coffee, a good variety of prepared foods including a new Jewish deli, Oaxacan food, and crepes. And more. People are friendly, Market has community feel, music is folksy and not too loud. My favorite place on a...
