Welcome

the birthplace California cuisine

North Berkeley's historic Shattuck & Vine St. neighborhood is celebrated as the birthplace California cuisine since the 1970’s when Alice Waters opened Chez Panisse Restaurant. Home of the original Peet’s Coffee and the famous worker-cooperative, The Cheese Board Collective Bakery, the area has been an ever-evolving culinary wonderland, with new generations of chefs and artisan food purveyors setting up shop to offer local, sustainable ingredients and farm-to-table dining in an array of cuisines.

But it’s not all about the amazing food. Charming boutiques, florists, galleries, salons, and services share this artisan ethos and complete the mix that gives this area its European ambiance with a Berkeley twist. A weekly organic Farmers' Market, guided culinary tours, and food, art and wine events all year make the area a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike.

The Farmers’ Market

A SUSTAINABLE MARKET

 

The Ecology Center Farmers’ Markets are open-air marketplaces where California farmers bring fresh, locally-grown produce and farm-processed foods to sell directly to you. They support small-scale farmers who practice sustainable agriculture in growing fruits, vegetables, nuts, baked goods, jams and preserves, juices, olive oils, meat, cheese, prepared foods, nursery plants, and flowers.
