What can I say? I never thought a spot like this would be classified as a spot for dates, but it sure is. The Farmers Market in Newark, CA has a lot to offer. If you’re looking to buy some fresh produce for that meal you’re cooking up, you’ll find it here. You’ll be supporting local farmers while doing it. You can find an array of vegetables and fruits. Some farmers give you the option to get purchase organic grown food from their stands as well. The best part is that if you’re shopping for fruits, most farmers will give out free samples for you to enjoy. I ended up buying a bulk of delicious white peaches the last time I was there because of trying some samples.
Just take a walk around and see what farmers are offering. Sometimes you’ll find produce that the bigger grocery stores don’t offer. A good thing to keep in mind are the prices too. You won’t be hurting your wallets here. You’ll find most of the food here is priced lower than your local grocery store. I feel that the prices I pay here justify the quality I’m getting in return.
Finally, you will get a chance to see local food vendors here as well. Everything from home made pasta sauces, pastries, and cakes can be found just by taking a walk around. They even had a Filipino food vendor there where I ordered a cup of fresh cantelope juice. It’s one of my favorite Filipino drinks that I enjoy. You will not have an excuse to leave this place hungry.
If you have a Saturday or Sunday morning to spare, come make a stop at the Farmers Market in Newark, CA. You will find it right in the parking lot in front of Macy’s.
It’s a spot for dates because…
You can find great produce to buy here, especially if you’re planning to cook that meal for two together. If you didn’t find anything at the Farmers Market, you could always take a look at what NewPark Mall has.

Those cherry tomatoes and strawberries are looking crazy good.
Farmer’s Markets are great starting points for an all-day date! As you said, you could take food back home to cook, or you could buy food there and go eat somewhere else like a park.
