- The city of Fremont hosts three distinct, year-round farmers markets, each with its own schedule and specialty: the Niles Farmers Market on Saturdays, the Irvington Farmers' Market on Sundays, and the Kaiser Permanente Fremont Farmers' Market on Thursdays. - The Saturday market in the historic Niles district is operated by the Niles Main Street Association and is set in a neighborhood known for its role in the early silent film industry and as a historic railroad junction. This smaller, community-focused market features local vendors like the popular Niles Pie Company. - On Sundays, the Irvington Farmers' Market is managed by the Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association, an organization that runs over 50 markets across the Bay Area. This market provides a wide selection of vendors, including farms like Avila Farms from Hollister and Bright Farm from Fresno, alongside producers of seafood, baked goods, and hummus. - The Irvington market actively supports food access programs, accepting Cal-Fresh EBT and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Farmers' Market Nutrition Program coupons. - The Thursday market at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center is part of a larger initiative started by the healthcare provider in 2003 to promote community health by providing direct access to fresh, healthy produce for patients, staff, and local residents. - This wellness-focused market is located in the courtyard of the Fremont medical facility, emphasizing the connection between diet and health.
