Children's Hospital Oakland's Farmer's Market

Tuesdays
2 PM to 7 PM

Outpatient Center sidewalk on 52nd Street
(across the street from the main hospital)

A farmers market at Children’s? You can bet your green onions on it. Look for the booth to be set up on 52nd Street, under the Outpatient Center overhang.

An organic vegetable grower from Salinas, who grows everything from tomatoes and green onions to strawberries and lettuce, will be here with some exceptional fresh produce. The grower is affiliated with the Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association (ALBA), who provides educational and business opportunities for farm workers and aspiring farmers to grow and sell crops grown on organic farms in Monterey County.
