The Richmond Mobile Farmers’ Market is sponsored by Kaiser Permanente.
San Pablo service started again Friday, Jan. 31 and will continue every Friday thereafter at the following locations/times: 10-11 a.m. at Contra Costa College, 2600 Mission Bell Dr., San Pablo (located across from the Student Services Building); 11:15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. at Life Long Brookside Clinic 2023 Vale Rd.; and 1:45-2:45 p.m. at Contra Costa County San Pablo WIC, 501 Gateway Ave. The Mobile Farmers’ Market’s San Pablo route is sponsored by the City of San Pablo.
While all of the Mobile Farmers’ Market’s produce aims to be affordably priced, Fresh Approach offers a 50 percent discount to customers who participate in the CalFresh (SNAP), WIC, SSI/SSDI and Medi-Cal programs. The market accepts cash, debit, credit and CalFresh/EBT.
