I am such a farmers market girl so I was so excited to hear there was one in Carlsbad the same day…read moreI was arriving to town! So many incredible vendors. I stopped at a fruit stand, truly wish I could remember which one and I grabbed some enormous peaches, they looked too good to pass up. I've never been so serious when I tell you that these peaches, were out of this damn world. I have never in my life had a peach this good. I think I've told at least 10 people since I've been back in New York about these peaches. Unreal. They had flower stands, produce, dips, pizzas, kombucha, fresh pastas, granola, baked goods, breads, gluten free options, I mean something for everyone and more. The place was absolutely hopping, a total mad house in the best way possible. Now let's talk about Grammy's Granola. I meant the nicest woman to ever walk this sweet planet Earth, Janet. She was from Long Island like me and she made my day and more. I bought her unbelievable zucchini bread and it was DELICIOUS. This is a stand you cannot miss, this woman is a gem!!!

I am a huge supporter of Farmers Markets and love the Carlsbad Village has one, but this one just…read moredidn't do it for me. Parking is hard (and people were not patient- lots of honking), the farmers market is only one block, and it is CRAMPED. I can imagine those with strollers, wheelchairs or other assistive devices, or wagons struggling to navigate between the stands. Some canopy tents go right up to the curb. I enjoy a farmers market where I can browse to see the options, but this one felt like you had to know exactly what you wanted and get in and get out. One entire side was prepared food & I didn't see many, if any vegan options. The other side is produce & a plant stand. I am very pleased with the plant stand. The guy was helpful & knowledgeable. I got my very own passion fruit plant! A benefit to this farmers market, if you can find a parking spot- is that you can then walk down to the city beach and wander throughout the rest of Carlsbad Village browsing local shops, like the new book store!

The Saturday Vista Farmers Market is one of my favorites in North County! Lots of parking- even if…read moreit takes a bit to get in. LOTS of produce, prepared food, and made goods stands. For produce- there are organic, non organic, and non certified organic that use organic practices. For prepared food, there are plenty of vegan & gluten free options too! There is plenty of space between the aisles allowing for easy browsing. This will be one of my regular farmers markets now!

Huge and diverse! It's not as chaotic as the Little Italy farmer's market. There are plenty of…read moreproduce stands, niche food stands, prepared foods, and crafts. There's something for everybody and something special you can find! I loved the fresh baked goods from 1 stand, the biltong meat sticks, and the Carribbean food. The parking can get crazy so take what you can find. I am annoyed there is no seating at the market so you can enjoy your meal. I couldn't even find a public trashcan. I wish it was a more friendly place for the prepared food where the market is open later and you don't have to stand to eat your food.

By far one of the best farmers markets I've been to. There's tons of fresh produce, unique finds,…read moreand more. The real stars of the show are the many ethnic food stands, featuring Latin American, African, Egyptian, Filipino, and Vietnamese cuisine along with cakes, desserts, and ice cream. Everything was delicious. Everyone was having a great time and enjoying the beach vibes.

Parking was easy & there was plenty of space to walk the aisles and between vendors. There were…read moremany produce, hand made goods, and prepared food vendors. If you're looking for organic produce, this isn't the farmers market for you (unless the day I went was an off day, or maybe there was one organic and I just couldn't afford their pricing). I even asked a few produce vendors if they use organic practices (the process to get certified is expensive and lengthy). No luck with that either. So this was a 3 star for me, but I can see how this is a 5 star farmers market for others! I did appreciate that the library had books for sale too since it was right next to the library. The information booth person was kind and helpful too!

This farmers market beats the Vista Farmers Market for vegan prepared food!…read more At the temporary location, parking is difficult and the line to get in backs up into the street- so plan accordingly and give yourself extra time. There is a special area reserved for parking for those with handicap passes. This farmers market has lots of produce, prepared food, and other goods! I didn't see many organic produce stands, but I didn't have the chance to ask if the others use organic practices (pesticide/spray free) yet. There was plenty of space between the many rows to now feel crowded. I'm definitely going back! They even have San Diego Tempeh!! & Sugar Cane Juice... and VEGAN SUSHI!!! It looked like the school's bathrooms were open for using, as well as the picnic bench lunch tables for eating!

Came to the Leucadia Farmers Market for the first time and it did not disappoint. Located in an…read moreelementary school, you'll see a bunch of tents lined along, selling everything from flowers, fruits, jerky, meat, cheese, and more! Pros: -I love the variety of food vendors that they have here. There were also vegan options available. -there is a shaded seating area that has picnic benches but people also brought out blankets to enjoy the day -some live music was available when I stopped by Cons: -parking can be a bit difficult and since this is in a residential neighborhood, you need to be careful of where you park. It I was able to get street parking not too far away Overall, a delightful farmers market!

SMALL FARMERS MARKET (4 stars)…read more It's convenient, right off the freeway. But I trek all this way to get THREE SONS farm egg because this is the most south they post up at farmers markets.

Great prices (they beat most stores and farmers market prices) and their fruit and veggies are fresh and tasty. I've met Delilah each time I've gone; she's very sweet and knowledgeable. You can bring your pups if you want, but they must be on a leash and kept to the front gravel area by the parking lot. You can pick your own fruit (very cute date idea) or if you're local, you can do weekly fruit/veggies pick ups. This subscription is a steal for a large amount of local grown fruits & veggies (think two heavy paper bag size). Check out their website for more information.

Although it was very hot outside, I had a fun experience picking zinnias. They were colorful and…read morebeautiful flowers. However, my primary purpose was to try their yellow watermelon which I've never eaten before. It was delicious and slightly sweeter than red watermelons. I did buy a yellow watermelon and it's even better when it's refrigerated and eaten cold. Since it was hot outside, I purchased a lavender lemonade It was a refreshing, sweet and tart drink. They did a good job of setting up a covered area with seats and tables. to lounge and relax.

Conveniently located off PCH across from the Solana Beach transit center, and a short walk to the…read morebeach. There are some 2 and 3 hour parking spots in front of some of the stores. There are a plethora of shops, cafes, coffee shops, electric bike stores, art galleries, and the belly up tavern. Found a few stores with some unique items that were reasonably priced so I was able to get a few gifts and do some window shopping. It was nice to kind of be ignored in almost every store I went in. I don't like being hounded by the salespeople so that worked well for me, but I think it would turn others off. Maybe they were figuring I was not their normal clientele and didn't need to help me. I did get several gifts at 2 different stores, and it ended up being a worthwhile trip. It is a cool little street, and it is eclectic, with a wide variety of unique types of stores with all price levels. If you have not been and are in the area, and want to try a cool shopping experience, you should stop in.

And if you're tired of shopping you can grab a bite to eat, go to a brewery, have coffee or wine tasting. I dig it from the street view!

I love the concept of making fresh food accessible to everyone and anyone. It's such a great mission. The highlight for us was the nature play area; my little one could have stayed there for hours. They've done a fantastic job creating an outdoor experience that's genuinely fun and engaging for kids of all ages. I also loved the "lead experiences" they host every hour. We joined the chicken feeding, which was a huge hit thanks to Daniel! We felt very safe throughout our visit, and the security team was incredibly helpful and a special thanks to Stephanie for that. We're already looking forward to our next trip back!
