California Avenue Farmers' Market

What they do

A Sunday [[farmers-market|farmers market]] on California Avenue in Palo Alto, operated by the [[uvfm|Urban Village Farmers’ Market Association]] — the Bay Area nonprofit running 10 markets across the East Bay, Peninsula, and South Bay. The market accepts CalFresh EBT, WIC, WIC Senior Vouchers, and runs a dollar-for-dollar Market Match up to $15 free on fruits and vegetables — the food-access program that distinguishes UVFM’s markets from purely commercial operations.

Why it’s listed

Listed because the operator’s curation is the verification: UVFM operates a network of [[berkeley|California]] Certified Farmers’ Markets with explicit, structural food-access programs (EBT match + WIC) at every site. The [[berkeley|California]] Avenue location specifically anchors the Peninsula corridor of the UVFM network, in a city where the cost-of-living otherwise filters out lower-income market access. The match program is the operational commitment, not a marketing position.
