A Gem of a Farmers Market
The Grand Lake Farmers Market is really in a great location -- it's near a Y-intersection of two great retail shopping strips, and just a few steps from Lake Merritt. The vendors are all the usual suspects you see at other farmers markets -- plenty of options for organic produce, bread, smoked salmon and prepared foods. There isn't the same kind of "festival" atmosphere as at the Berkeley Farmer's market with multiple musicians playing -- but that's ok, too.
All the vendors at the Grand Lake Farmers Market are friendly and nothing is really second rate. If you don't live in the neighborhood, make a date to pick up goodies for a brunch picnic at Lake Merritt from this Farmers Market for a really charming East Bay experience.
