Every Wednesday morning, the Paseo de San Antonio in Downtown San Jose fills with stalls of just-picked produce, baked goods, and ready-to-eat meals from local makers. The Downtown Farmers Market operates from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at 101 Paseo de San Antonio, giving residents and workers a reliable midweek stop for seasonal fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods.
Shoppers will find Asian vegetables from Xiong Farms, conventional fruits from Lopez Family Farm, organic greens and eggs from Green Mix Ranch, and strawberries from Bay Fresh. Packaged options include artisanal cookies and empanadas from California Bakeshop, honey from Mango Blossom Apiary, and specialty teas from Leafory. Hot food vendors rotate through dumplings, tamales, Thai street plates, and Filipino dishes, while a handful of craft tables offer jewelry, soaps, and handmade clothing.
The market accepts EBT benefits at the information booth, and visitors receive 90 minutes of complimentary parking in nearby ParkSJ garages. The setup keeps the focus on small local producers rather than large commercial suppliers, making it a practical way to support nearby farms and food businesses while stocking the kitchen.
