South Hayward Farmers Market Interest Survey

The Agricultural Institute of Marin (AIM) manages 9 certified farmers markets in the Bay Area, including the Downtown Hayward Farmers Market on Saturdays and the Newark Farmers Market at New Park Mall on Sundays.

In partnership with the City of Hayward, we are surveying the South Hayward community to hear from you about your interest in a possible farmers market at the parking lot of the South Hayward BART Station, located at 28601 Dixon Street.

AIM’s farmers markets offer an abundance of fresh and seasonal produce, an array of baked goods, fresh flowers and hot foods. Our market seeks to support the strong sense of community in South Hayward– and we want to hear from you!
