Farmers’ markets offer a fundamentally different food system. At the Berkeley Farmers’ Markets, you can stand across from the person who grew your apples, winter squash, or leafy greens. You can ask what’s in season, how something was grown, or even how they recommend preparing it.

And when you make a purchase, you’re investing directly in the farmers who feed our community, helping sustain their businesses while keeping more of those dollars circulating in our regional economy. Will you make a gift today to help the Berkeley Farmers’ Markets continue to thrive?

Homes and buildings are the second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in East Bay cities like Berkeley. 🏡🌎

Fortunately, reducing your home's energy use can be easier than you think. 🌱

A few simple habits, like switching to LED bulbs, washing clothes in cold water, and unplugging devices when they're not in use, can save energy, lower utility bills, and make your home a little greener. 💚

At the Berkeley Farmers’ Markets, the connection is real. You can meet the person who grew your food, ask how it was produced, and know that your purchase directly supports the farmers who make our regional food system possible.

As we approach the 40th anniversary of the Berkeley Farmers’ Markets, we want to protect that connection and build on it. Will you make a gift today to help sustain the markets and ensure they thrive for generations to come?

Thank you to everyone who joined us for A Slice of Our Markets. From meeting local farmers to hearing the inspiring story of Lute Farms, the evening was a celebration of the people who make our food system thrive.

Your support helps strengthen farmers' markets, support local growers, and expand access to fresh, healthy food.

We also featured a Stop Waste food demo of carrot top lemon gremolata made by our Farmers’ Market Program Manager Daniel McChesney-Young.
