Farmers' Markets: Alemany Slideshow
The Alemany Farmers'
Market is the oldest farmers' market in the Bay
Area. It was started by John
Brucato in the 1940s. It offers some of the
lowest farmers' market prices in the Bay Area as
well as specialty items specific to Asian cuisine.
This market is similar to the Friday downtown Old
Oakland market which resides next to Chinatown.
Alemany however, does not have as wide a variety
of prepared foods and if you are looking for organic
produce you will need to ask the vendors about their
growing methods. There seemed to be fewer certified
organic vendors at this market but the certification
process is quite expensive.
Some of the unique qualities of this market are:
you can purchase live chickens and a variety of
eggs (duck, quail), there is a substantial fresh
fish market with live shellfish, an abundance of
vegetables and fresh herbs specific to Asian cooking,
orchids and other fresh flowers are available, and
you can purchase fresh nuts and beans. The diversity
of people at the Alemany market truly reflects the
many cultures that reside here in the Bay Area.
