What to Get and Do at the Orinda Farmers Market

The Orinda Farmers Market takes place every Saturday morning by Orinda Community Park. The market is small and situated on just one street, making it easy to access and navigate.

Variety of Food Options

While the market has some produce, it leans more towards prepared foods. Here are some standout options:

  • Dumplings: There are multiple stands here, but we like Dad’s Dumplings.
  • Fresh Bowls: If you’re looking for something fresh and quick, there’s a food truck (Bowl’D) offering delicious Acai bowls and smoothies.

In addition to food, the market features local artists and craft stands, providing a unique shopping experience.

Conclusion

Whether you’re in the mood for some tasty dumplings, a fresh bowl, or unique local crafts, Orinda’s Farmers Market is the place to be on Saturday mornings. Its convenience and variety make it a worthwhile visit.
