Oxbow Public Market is dedicated to the Public Market's distinct character, spirit, and content, not only as a place to display and sell organic and/or sustainably-produced local crops, other regional specialties, and other excellent quality and unique food products, but also as a place that fully supports sustainable and organic food production, owner-operated businesses, traditional food producers, and the agricultural community of the Napa Valley and nearby areas.

Since its inception in late 2007, Napa's 40,000-square-foot public market has drawn thousands. Pica Maize Kitchen, a fantastic Venezuelan sandwich seller, and Hog Island Oyster Company are among the many gourmet purveyors and local eateries that reflect the region's gastronomy culture. Kara's Cupcakes and Ritual Coffee Roasters, both from the San Francisco Bay Area, are on hand to sweeten (and caffeinate) your stay. A trip to Napa's wine country wouldn't be complete without a stop at the Oxbow Wine Market & Wine Bar, where you can sample and buy the merlots, zinfandel, and chardonnays that have made the region renowned.

Pike Place Market, one of America's most well-known markets, draws a mix of tourists and locals who come to shop or simply watch the excitement. Since its inception in 1907, the multi-level market has expanded to incorporate a variety of structures and companies, including antique dealers, flower stands, bakeries, and clothes and handmade art shops. Pike Place Fish Market, noted for its "flying fish," and the first Starbucks Coffee, which moved here (from across the street) in 1977, are two of the city's most well-known businesses. Street performers (violinists, puppeteers, and poets) in Pike Place always put up a show.

The Pike Place Market usually preserves, repairs, and safeguards the market's buildings, promotes farm and food retailing options, incubates and supports small and marginal enterprises, and provides services to low-income people. These initiatives ensure that the market will be preserved for future generations. The Pike Place Market PDA is governed by a twelve-member council, in addition to the historical commission, which continues to offer rules and regulatory control of the historic district's structures and activities.

The Milwaukee Public Market is a gastronomic hotspot with roughly 20 specialty food suppliers, despite being smaller than other public markets.

Shops selling handmade bread and hand-dipped chocolate can also be found. Just outside the door, the seasonal farmers market is held at weekends from June to October every year.

The Madame Kuony Demonstration Kitchen in the Market also offers a variety of cooking workshops.

The Chattanooga Market is the largest producer-only arts and crafts and farmers' market in the region. From April to December, it is held every Sunday in the open-air First Tennessee Pavilion in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Chattanooga's seasonal Sunday market has been one of the region's greatest places to discover hand-blown glass necklaces, homemade salsas, organic fruits and veggies, and artwork created from recycled materials since it opened in 2001. To assure the market's authenticity, all 350 current merchants must be the sole producers and retailers of their items.

The market's weekly themes, which have included an Oktoberfest celebration and a Father's Day Brew & Bluegrass event, are among its best aspects. The season finale (held in December each year) is always an art-focused holiday bazaar.

The Ferry Building Marketplace and its concomitant Farmer's Market - one of the most highly recognized farmer's markets in the United States, are tangible proof that people who live in San Francisco live tastier lives than much of the rest of the country. The produce looks like it came from a still-life picture since it is organic and sourced from small family farms, and the quality and range of speciality goods-many of which you may have never seen before will astound you.

The historic building is open daily and houses some of Northern California's top gourmet food establishments, such as Cowgirl Creamery's Artisan Cheese Shop, Recchiuiti Confections, Acme Breads, Hog Island Oysters, the legendary Vietnamese restaurant The Slanted Door, and many more. The Ferry Building marketplace is a bustling gathering place for local farmers, artisan producers, independently owned and run food enterprises, and the customers they serve.
