Berkeley’s South Berkeley farmers market operates Tuesday afternoons and evenings at Adeline Street and 63rd Street, serving the south Berkeley neighborhood with organic produce and artisanal foods. As part of the Ecology Center’s network of three year-round markets, this location brings fresh food directly to the community and supports the same network of local farms and producers found at Berkeley’s other markets.

Market Highlights

The South Berkeley Tuesday market features over 30 local vendors selling certified organic produce, baked goods, cheese, prepared foods, and specialty items. You’ll find familiar Berkeley producers including Oya Organics, Full Belly Farm, Frog Hollow Farm, and De La Creamery Ice Cream, along with rotating vendors depending on the season. The market offers everything from heirloom vegetables and stone fruits in summer to root vegetables and greens in winter months.

Location and Timing

The market runs every Tuesday from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. year-round at Adeline Street and 63rd Street in the South Berkeley neighborhood near the intersection with Lorin Avenue. The afternoon-to-evening timing makes it convenient for people to shop after work or school. The market operates rain or shine, so come prepared in winter months.

Community Focus

This market serves a different part of Berkeley than the Downtown Saturday location, making it more accessible to residents of South Berkeley, the Lorin District, and surrounding neighborhoods. It’s also less crowded than the downtown market, meaning you can browse at a slower pace and have more opportunity to chat with farmers about their products.

Getting There

The market is accessible by car, with nearby street parking available. AC Transit buses serve the area. The location is on the south side of Berkeley, roughly along the line of Martin Luther King Jr. Way extended south. Neighborhood residents can easily walk or bike to the market.

What to Bring

Bring reusable bags or a cart for your purchases, though bags are sometimes available from vendors. Cash is accepted and recommended, though many vendors now take cards. The market operates year-round, so dress appropriately for the season.

Tips for Shoppers

Arriving early in the afternoon often means better selection, though the market stays active through 6:30 p.m. The relaxed pace makes this a good option if you prefer a less crowded shopping experience. Like all Ecology Center markets, this one supports local farms, sustainable agriculture, and small producers that make Berkeley’s food system distinctive.

The South Berkeley Tuesday market is part of the same quality-focused network as Berkeley’s other two farmers markets, bringing the same commitment to organic produce and local food directly to south Berkeley residents.
