Farmers Markets in North San Diego County

Farmers Markets are a great way to find fresh fruits and vegetables every week, and to support the local farming community. But farmers markets have evolved to offer so much more than fruits and vegetable, including a range of artisanal foods (meats, cheeses, specialty juices, pastries/cakes/pies, honey), hot and cold foods, and more depending on the particular market and the size.

The farmers markets here in SoCal operate year round, given our weather, with offerings varying depending on the season and availability.

Here are some of the local farmers markets in North San Diego County.

State Street Farmers Market, Carlsbad Village is open on Wednesdays from 2:30 until 7 pm (Daylight Saving Time hours – closes at 6 pm during standard time November to February). Located at 2900 block of State Street between Carlsbad Village Drive and Grand Avenue. (714) 257-5859

It must be wonderful to have farmer's markets open year around. I have not seen any farmer's market in Goodyear. I will have to do some research and see if we have any. I hope you are enjoying your Sunday!

Jeff I love farmers markets here in Los Angeles we probably have as many as you listed in your area. I have two problems with the farmers market, one they are generally open from 8am to 12 noon.... hard for me to get out of the house after I check my emails and conduct business.... the second problem I find is I seldom have more than $20 cash in my pocket and well they always want cash....:))Endre

Lot of the vendors here do take credit cards Endre Barath, Jr. I prefer to use cash and we usually stop at the bank before going to make sure to have enough cash if the pockets are empty.

Good morning, Jeff... what's better than a Farmers Market? Your post reminded me that this year I never did a post on Charlotte area Farmers Markets, which I've done for many years.

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker Yes, we enjoy the farmers markets pretty well. Guess there's still time for you to do your farmers market post even though it's June!

Jeff Dowler, CRS I know, Jeff... but I have so many other posts in the queue it's hard to make time for another post. (Especially when I consider that all those year of doing farmers market posts never provided any outreach to me.) I'll just play it by ear.

Farmer's Markets can have all sorts of interesting things - not just food! I'd definitely check out a few if I were in your area.

There are lots to choose from and we have been to more of them at least once Kat Palmiotti I have to say the one in Vista is my favorite because of its size.

Farmer's markets are the best, way better than shopping in stores. I hate that all of the stores carry so many items that are poisonous, haha.

Things are certainly fresher at the farmers markets Brian England although not necessarily less expensive.

Your weather allows for the markets to operate year-round. As you can recall from living in New England ours run from early to mid-June to late September and that is about all we can expect.

When living in New England we certainly did appreciate when the weather warmed up and the markets were open, even if only for a few months.
