🥐 Saturday Mornings at the Willow Glen Farmers Market
Why locals skip the grocery store on Saturdays!
In Willow Glen, the weekend doesn’t officially start until you’ve had your coffee and strolled through the Farmers Market. While the rest of San Jose is fighting for parking at the supermarket, residents here are trading plastic bags for tote bags at Willow Glen Elementary School. It’s fresh, it’s local, and it’s the heartbeat of the neighborhood every single Saturday.
The Details (Rain or Shine)
This isn’t a seasonal affair—it is a year-round commitment to local food.
-
Where: Willow Glen Elementary School (1425 Lincoln Ave).
-
When: Every Saturday, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM.
-

Must-Visit Stalls
You can do your full grocery run here, but there are a few stops you can’t miss:
-
Fresh Flowers: You will see people walking down Lincoln Avenue carrying massive, colorful bouquets—this is where they get them. The selection of fresh-cut flowers is vibrant and seasonal.
-
Local Honey: Skip the bear-shaped bottle at the store. The local honey vendors here offer the real deal, perfect for allergy season or just sweetening your tea.
