Lots of the positive review are a very long time ago... my experience was not a good one, he was a little rude from the start patlingnis not the greatest, I am disabled and have a placard and basically yelled at for how I parked ., I was off to the side not blocking but trying to stay in a spot where I would not get stuck due to rain etc conditions. I left and never to return. And actually just with what I seen in there little Stan for sale, wasn't impressive... might want to be more kind to get customers. Just saying.. read more

A rare gem that more people need to know about so spread the word. This is one of my favorite places to go when I'm not growing my own vegetables. This farm is working very hard year round to bring you the freshest of produce. Ramon & family treat everyone like family and that same amount of love that goes into everything they grow. It's always refreshing when we see the doors of the little stand open during their selling season and the chickens are ready to greet you as they roam around acting as natures pesticide eating a bunch of delicious bugs, keeping them off of the veggies. If you haven't yet tried Ramirez Farm's corn. you must stop by and grab some. Don't just get a couple grab a dozen, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!! read more

Support local businesses! This is the last and only farm in Fremont. This place is the best. I just hope and pray (for my own selfish reasons) that nobody buys the land Ramirez Farm is on :-) Here is a nice blog post by a nice resident about Ramirez Farms - http://csuhpat1.blogspot.com/2012/10/ramirez-farm-last-farm-in-fremont.html read more

Ramirez Farm - a sign for a farm with sunflowers in the background - Farmers Market Near Me - Union City, California

Love it! Mr Ramirez is so sweet. He has so much love for his farm so please support his hard labor of love. He harvests the BEST corn, jicama, zucchinis, leafy greens, carrots, squashes, and more! Depending on the season, he has more veggies like swiss chard and basil. Upon request, you can select the veggies to be fresh picked. I made the best ever caesar salad with Ramirez's fresh romaine. The greens were naturally sweet and flavorful. Best of all, he uses NO PESTICIDES! Invest in your health by investing in your local farms. Cheers! read more

Farms make me happy. What makes me even happier is a lovely little farm that is a stone's throw and a quick stroller ride from my home. Having a farm across the street makes me feel more rural than suburban which is super cool. Got some corn from them the other day and it was sweet and delicious. They offer white and yellow corn, as well as Mexican corn. Also got a perfect yellow onion. And if I'd needed tomatoes, there were some pretty sweet looking specimens ready for the taking. They don't use pesticides. If you ask them they will go into the field and pick you marigolds or squash blossoms (if they've got 'em) Ramirez Family Farm is a little slice of heaven right in my own front yard. read more

Ramirez is up and running at 35075 Alvarado=Niles, just over the bridge into Union City! Enter his Farm Market from SOUTHBOUND Alvarado-Niles, shortly before the bridge (which is getting replaced) up over BART. It is just after you pass Osprey. You have to slow down or you could miss his driveway. My wife thinks Ramirez is great. Sadly, the 882 rental units will boot out the last farm in Fremont. Ramirez says he will move to Union City. As of Sept. 29 Ramirez appears to be well on the way to gone. Ramirez is now operating in Union City; we bought some lovely Hatch peppers and green beans. Maybe the plan for 882 units can be improved in some ways, such as by requiring individual water meters on this new construction. I attended the study meeting on Sept. 29, and it looks to me as though the density will be moderately reduced. Folks, take a look at my attached views of Mission Peak from Litchfield Ave. on the north. One is colored as the impressionist Monet would paint it. Now, it's time to hit the "cool" button, n'est-ce pas? read more

See all

~ OPEN 7 days a week 9am - 8pm ~ We stumbled upon this quaint corner farm on the way back from the Fremont Festival... I am SO GLAD we made the U-turn. We purchased several FRESH seasonal squash of 4 different varieties! For dinner, we sauteed them with a large green pepper (good amount of kick and tons of flavor) which we also purchased from the market. BONUS: The gentleman had us try something I would have NEVER TRIED if it wasn't for his coaxing... sweet chili dried mango and a hot red pepper version = YUMMY! I was pleasantly surprised and my kids bought ~1/4 lb with their own money *smiles* Since I like SPICE, he suggested that I come back in about 1-2 weeks for the BLACK CHILIES that will be ripe for the picking. LOVE THIS PLACE! Fresh Veggies, Local Farm, Reasonable prices (downright cheap) and PHENOMENAL QUALITY = WIN! Thanks Ramon, I'll definitely be back for those black peppers! read more

Fresh veggies! Nice service and they will let you in on the property to feed chickens if you request

This place is right near my house. It's pretty cool to have a farm nearby. It's so weird how one day the field will be empty and the next day it is full of towering corn stalks. Sometimes on my walk home from BART I look over at the farm and imagine pale white children with glowing eyes walking out towards me. One night I saw a lady with a plastic bag hanging around the corn stalks. Watcha doin lady?? I hope this place stays here forever and doesn't turn into a housing development. read more

Love this place Don Ramon always welcomes us to his stand the tomatoes are so sweet all his veggies are organic. Fresh from the farm can't get better than that. read more

Support your local farmer is right!! I will no longer go to the grocery store or to the busy farmers markets to purchase my fruits and veggies! Only waking distance away I can enjoy the freshest fruits and veggies EVER! I have never been disappointed in any of their products and it's waaaaaay cheaper than any other store! And did I mention better tasting! He even drugged up my butter lettuce from the ground and washed it right there for me! I made these wonder shrimp tacos (my version of tacos) using his butter lettuce and chilli. I am a fan and will be returning!!! read more

Ramirez Farm - These were my tacos I made with the delicious butter lettuce and chile - Farmers Market Near Me - Union City, California

Great produce stand with reasonable prices! Would definitely come back for the fresh veggies & fruit. Really nice family run spot

This place is really special. I love coming here to visit Ramon's beautiful farm. Today I saw ripe tomatoes, flowers and honeybees, sunflowers, a big bushel of corn brought in on the owner's own back, freshly picked peppers, squash and a bunch of almonds from Ramon's almond groves up North, where he also uses no pesticide. Sometimes his little granddaughter is there learning about the farm too. read more

What a Fremont gemstone! What is not to love about a sweet, old guy selling you fresh, affordable produce? Mr. Ramirez was so helpful in letting us know what certain veggies and fruits were and how to best cook them to ensure they maintain all their nutrients. He gave us ample amounts of sample, including an entire prickly pear for my cousin and I. I mean how many people do you know will give you WHOLE fruits as a sample?! Help support local farmers, especially down-to-earth ones like Mr. Ramirez read more

A nice, pleasant little place. People working there are really friendly. Been there twice and eager to go back for more fresh (right off of the pushcart!), pesticide free veggies! read more

Please help save the Ramirez Farm in Union City! The city wants to turn this area into high density housing. Please help keep this cherished part of the community open and protected from development. Attend the Union City council meeting on Tuesday 2/27/2018....save our open space! read more

The Last farm in Fremont or the Bay area for that matter has been sold but nobody knows when or for how much or if it was even on the market. It just so happens that some high density housing developer bought it and wouldn't you know that it's in keeping with Fremont's desire to create a downtown. What the builders propose is to put a 4 to 5 building 4 to 5 story apartment complex with 882 units in it. I live right there and we mounted a campaign to stop the needless urbanization of Fremont, that nobody I know wants but the city claims the residents are clamoring for a downtown. Hogwash! Stand up and shout No! I will no longer be able to see the hills or the sunrise for that matter with the monolithic eye sore they propose. We mounted a campaign against the builder and city and during the community meetings there was so much opposition that the builder has postponed indefinitely the planning commission meeting originally scheduled on 6-25-15. Go to wwww.Fremonts.org and sign the e-petition to stop the plan and let's keep the only Farm in the Bay area in it's current zoned condition. read more

I used to live right next to this farm. Every weekend would walk down chat with Mr Ramirez, buy some really fresh produce - he would walk down and cut some chard/cilantro/tomatoes for me. We've moved but I still go back and stick to what is grown locally there - tomato, zucchini, corn (of course), chilies, cilantro, onion, chard, cabbage. What I love about Mr Ramirez is that he also gives tips on how to use some of the vegetables. Absolutely a gem in Fremont. read more

Just heard from a very reliable source that the land this farm is on has been sold and it is in it's last year of farming. Both of the Guardino's (the owners of the farm and the namesake of the street that runs in front of it) passed away last year, ten months apart, in their 90's. Apparently the kids sold or are in the process of selling the property and are giving the farm one more year while the permits and architectural design and everything else is done. And then the farm is going away along with the beautiful home that sits next to it on Walnut Ave. Very sad, but a sign of the times I guess. read more

Just 8 reviews of this place?! Perhaps not many know of this place yet. I myself discovered it just recently. It is a walkable distance from my home, so I look for excuses to buy stuff from here. This is not just another farmer's market. Why? Because, you can actually see the produce harvested on request. If you think the items on shelves dont look fresh, and bring it up to the owner, the owner obliges to cut them from the crop right in front of your eyes, and brings them to you fresh. So if you like the idea of vegetables/fruits going directly from the plant, straight to your pocket, then there is no reason why you won't love this place. Personally I felt the prices here are slightly higher then what they are in Newark's market, but this is just for some items. So instead of comparing prices piece-meal , compare it overall. It evens out in the process is my feeling. Last week I bought some pomegs from here, and I swear I have never seen pomegs that red and juicier ever before in the Bay! They were glowing like big red pearls, no exaggeration. What else will you find here that you may not find elsewhere? Corn (harvested right in front of your eyes), white string beans, purple string beans, some sun dried fruit (that looked like it belonged to the plum family), succulent plums. The plums looked a little wrinkled purely because they got that ripe, but the point is, they just looked so natural! No wax coating, no artificial shine, nothing. Just think of what plums would like if you plucked them directly from the plant. Those plums were the sweetest plums that I had ever tasted. EVER! One thing they could improve upon is be a little diligent at displaying prices at the shelves. When I bought this up to the gentleman, he saiid since they are a family run small business, it is difficult for them to do it daily, as their prices change on an almost daily basis. Fair enough, I said, as long as they dint mind me asking them for the price per pound, for nearly every vegetable and fruit I bought. Overall, this place is a gem for Fremonsters like me, who live closeby the BART station. read more

Union City has its very own farm selling the tastiest fruits and veggies imaginable..I had forgotten what garden fresh tomatoes and perfectly ripened fruit tasted like, conditioned over years and even decades to accept the tasteless ,textureless garbage put out by the truckloads that passes for food at the grocery store...I pulled in out of curiosity a month or so ago and Im there at least 2-3 times a week now....driving down Alvarado Niles blvd just before you hit the over pass going into Niles its just on the right theres a little white shack, blink and you'll miss it.. remember this is not Whole foods with endless varieties and artful displays, you work with what you have but everything here is fantastic! ..support your local Farm! read more

I really hope this farm doesn't go away with MORE new housing development in fremont!! It is terribly unfortunate that this terrific open space for farming will soon be gone into another housing complex read more

Never coming back. Their was an employee who was rude. Didn't want me to choose the corn and if I did was going to be charged a dollar.

I love this place. Super fresh and pesticide free. The Mexican corn is super delicious and they handpick and only offer the nicest veggies and fruits for sale. Mr. Ramirez is so pleasant and friendly. It is awesome that our neighborhood has a community farm and I like coming here. read more

Freshly picked fava beans are really good. You can ask them to pick the fully ripe ones. It's just the right season. Their beans are just the best!!!!!! read more
