Diablo Valley Farmers' Market - Walnut Creek, CA

Tita Friday PH

Visiting the Diablo Valley Farmer’s Market for the first time was a delightful experience, especially since I’m visiting from the Philippines. This recent visit did not disappoint, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a Filipino stall selling the usual favorites: Lumpia, Pancit, and Barbecue. More on that later.

The market is a lively mix of food stalls, fresh flowers, and local delights. I found myself weaving through an array of colorful flower displays that could brighten even the dullest day. Hydrangeas, dahlias, and an assortment of wildflowers were all laid out in vibrant buckets, beckoning for a closer look. They were a picture-perfect addition to the bustling atmosphere, adding a splash of nature’s palette to the urban setting.

When it came to food, options were plenty and diverse. Among the many stands, Kawali ng Ina caught my eye—a Filipino food stall showcasing familiar dishes. It was a warm reminder of home, blending tradition with the local scene. From crispy Lumpia to savory Pancit and the classic Filipino Barbecue, it was clear they were bringing a taste of the Philippines to the American market, and I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of those beloved dishes.

Another standout was Sabri’s Wrap N’ Rolla, which boasted a colorful, fresh, and local appeal. It was hard not to get drawn into the cheerful atmosphere as customers lined up for their wraps filled with farm-fresh ingredients. It’s the kind of stand that reminds you of why you visit a farmer’s market in the first place—good, honest food made with love.

Of course, what’s a farmer’s market without the produce? The fruit and vegetable stands were brimming with the season’s best. Heirloom tomatoes, fresh cucumbers, and a variety of squash and greens were laid out on tables covered with patterned cloths, bringing a festive flair to the whole setup. Everything looked farm-fresh, colorful, and delicious, just begging to be turned into a hearty meal.

Overall, the Diablo Valley Farmer’s Market is a delightful experience, whether you’re a foodie, a flower enthusiast, or someone who just loves soaking up local culture. There’s a sense of community and a bit of everything for everyone—even those pleasant surprises that make you pause, like a taste of Filipino cuisine in the heart of California.

Very Friendly vendors! Great quality food at an affordable price. Many places accept cards or venmo. But remember Cash is the best for supporting their business!

Diablo Valley Farmer’s Market is a great place to shop fresh seasonal products strait from farmers. They operate every Saturday from 9 to 1 pm. Not to mention on some products their prices are more reasonable than at the huge supermarkets.

The Diablo Valley Farmer's Market is not just a great place to get fresh seasonal groceries, it's a great experience. I'd much rather be here on a Saturday morning than rolling through a supermarket. Highly recommend.

We go every Saturday morning, high quality produce, not cheap but worth it, good vibes. Extra Credit, stop by Koin Coffee shop while you're there.

Great farmers market! Lots of fruits and veggies. One vender was selling special mushrooms. I saw fresh fish vender, honey, bread, olive oils, chocolates. Friendly people!

My mom, daughter, and I like going to this farmers market. They have an arts and crafts table for the kids and live music. You can find all the fresh produce, and last weekend, they even had fresh Filipino green vegetables like saluyot. Cheaper than Seafood City!

There was a nursery, too, and I guess they don’t come often, so we took advantage of that. Video of my daughter splashing in a puddle while my mom picks out succulents.

Overall, the vibe is family friendly and chill.

Better, organic healthy local foods every Saturday morning. Live Music, and area for children to draw and craft. Fruits taste better than groceries stores. Love it.
