FREMONT, CA -- West Coast Farmers Market Association in association with Vestar, one of the largest privately held retail real estate companies in the western United States, are excited to announce the opening of a new Fremont Certified Farmers’ Market.  Opening Day was Saturday, July 12th.

 The market will take place every Saturday from 9am to 1pm through November at the Pacific Commons Shopping Center, behind DSW and Nordstrom Rack.  It will feature more than 25 stalls featuring fresh fruits and vegetables and some hand-crafted prepared foods.

“We are very excited about this market, as it is the beginning of our new expansion into the East Bay and our first farmers’ market in Alameda County,” explains Jerry Lami, Executive Director of West Coast Farmers Market Association. 

“We hope to bring a community event for locals to come and shop delicious fresh fruits and vegetables,” adds Director of Market Operations Jan Taylor.
