The Castro Farmers’ Market reopened for the season on April 2, 2025, bringing farm-fresh produce, an impressive selection of mushrooms, recently gathered eggs, delicious dairy products like cultured butter and cheeses, just-caught seafood, irresistible baked goods, savory snacks, prepared entrées, and much more. As former San Francisco Bay Times columnist Andrew Shaffer said, “I always come here because they have the best strawberries.” His bag was bursting with the juicy, sweet berries, which were one of many popular selections at the market.
The Grand Opening ceremony was led by President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Rafael Mandelman, Terry Asten-Bennett (on her last day as President of Castro Merchants), drag legend and San Francisco Bay Times columnist Donna Sachet, and market leaders. With the help of Bay Times volunteer coordinator Juan Davila, they cut the giant ribbon, officially welcoming everyone to the market that now takes place every Wednesday from 3–7 pm through November 19.
Several other members of the Bay Times team were there, enjoying not only the items for sale but also the musicians and catching up with other Castro residents who stopped by. Pro Tip: Grab a drink and nosh at the La Méditerranée restaurant adjacent to the market after shopping for the perfect spot to people watch and soak in the market’s uplifting vibes.
We also encourage you to take time to learn more about the farmers and other quality vendors at the Castro Farmers’ Market. Information about them is at https://www.pcfma.org/Castro
