Windmill Farms Produce

What they do

Windmill Farms Produce is “San Ramon’s original [[farmers-market|farmers market]]” — family-owned and operated since 1974 (50+ years), open seven days a week 9am–7pm. Carries fresh fruits and vegetables (both organic and conventionally-grown), handmade fresh fruit pies made on-site, artisan bread, dairy, local honey, bulk foods, and specialty grocery items. Seasonal additions: pumpkin patch and petting zoo (Halloween), Christmas trees and wreaths. Direct sourcing from local growers and artisan producers across Northern [[berkeley|California]].

Why it’s listed

Half a century of family-owned market continuity is the structural fact. [[mission-district-sf|The mission]] language — “strengthen local economies, preserve farmland, and benefit the environment through supporting local food systems” — is the operating principle, not a marketing position. The seven-day-a-week schedule (rare for a true producer market) and the on-site bakery/produce/bulk model make Windmill Farms Produce one of the East Bay’s longer-running food-access institutions.

Note: Windmill carries conventional alongside organic produce — [[directory|the directory]] lists it because of the 50-year community-rooted operation and direct-grower sourcing, with the caveat that not all produce is organic.
