When it first started, they did not have food vendors just artisans and produce vendors, but now they have a steady line of food vendors, including Seven Seas Roasting Company's Coffee Truck on the southern end of the market. That being said, on the north side of the market you will fine amazing nitro ice cream and churros from Potion 7 Creamery. The market includes a good number of organic produce stalls, plant stalls, and live music as well. It's a great market, with a number of small businesses along the street. Street parking is available and a pay parking lot on the west side. According to the city of La Mesa, "The La Mesa Farmers' Market is held every Friday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on La Mesa Blvd. between Palm Ave. and 4th St." (City of La Mesa, 2023)

I find it outrageous that most of the vegetable stands are allowed to participate in a CERTIFIED…read moreFarmers' Market and NOT ACCEPT the california Department Of Agriculture "Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program" card. As seniors it is a huge help to receive a $50 card to buy produce ONLY at certified Farmers' Markets and arrive the day before Thanksgiving and be told they don't accept the card or they aren't signed up to receive it. Card expires Nov 30 so we will lose our $50. Couldn't even buy eggs. Farmers complain people are unsupportive yet how can we support them if they are greedy and cheat the Government programs? I will make sure to never set foot in a farmers' market again. I will full heartedly support overseas farmers from now on. Let's see who buys your overpriced produce. If they don't comply with the program they should NOT be allowed to sell there. Shame on you all. I find this to be un American. So much for making America great again and buying local and home grown! Also there are only 3 stands of produce and the rest are retail trinkets, NOT a real Farmers' Market.

What nice way to enjoy the middle of a busy week, with a casual walk and shop, bit to eat, a little music, my kind of "Date Nite" to finish out the week. Affordable friendly, easy access and productive- purchasing fresh edibles for the Week end.

I visited several vendors for eat and to chat and learn about their trade. I certainly learned some and ate some good food like vegan adobada and a terrific vegan croissant. All the vendors were very nice happy to provide Vegan treats. Being held at a parking lot at Grossmont Mall, parking is plentiful and access is easy.

Whelp, I have a solution for that...plan your OWN Vegan Festival and it can be wherever you want it to be! Until then, this is the best thing to happen to the San Diego Vegan scene since...ever! and (2) the lines are too looooong. I get there when it opens and there are zero lines. So, there you have it: problems solved. Either drive to where it is or plan your own and if you don't, get there when it starts. I am gracious and thankful that people are VOLUNTEERING their time to put on this awesome vegan festival and coordinating with the mall and vendors. It's held the first Friday of each month. Follow @veganinsandiego for all the details. See you there!

If you can get over the fact that parking is a nightmare (tip: get there early and use the free parking lot at the DMV) you'll love every second of your time here. We got there around 9:30am and were lucky enough to snag a spot at the aforementioned lot - about a 5 minute walk from the start of the market. From there, we took about 2 hours to fully explore, including a quick stop at a cute and affordably-priced vintage stop right off the vendors' booths. There is a huge variety of goods, mostly consumables with a few jewelry and handmade goods worked in. The vast majority of consumables booths had samples. I tried balsamic vinegars, loads of dips, some fresh fruit and tomatoes, bread, tempeh, you name it. I wasn't even hungry for lunch after going! If you aren't keen on samples, there are lots of prepared food booths for a full meal. Prices are reasonable. I bought a delicious Mediterranean 3 layer dip for $6 and my brother got a massive focaccia loaf for $10. The vendors were very friendly and helpful. Many (most?) also had business cards with shipping info if you're like me and have a full suitcase already. I would consider this market a must-visit if you find yourself in San Diego on a Sunday. Loved it!

Hillcrest Farmers Market (opened in April 1997) is San Diego's original and largest farmers market…read morewith over 175 vendors. [Hours]: Sunday (rain or shine) from 9 AM to 2 PM. [Parking]: Difficult parking situation, but I got really lucky and found a street parking spot near the intersection of Cleveland Ave and Richmond St at 9 AM. Apparently visitors can park for free at the DMV parking lot (3960 Normal St), but the lot fills up quickly so come early. According to the website, visitors can also park at the United States Postal Service parking lot at 3911 Cleveland Ave. [Amenities & vendors]: The farmers market does not accept EBT. The market takes up about three large blocks and visitors can find produce, gifts, arts and crafts, flowers, clothing, etc. Not many fruit stands offer samples, but other non-fruit food vendors do provide free samples. The market also has a solid food court including one vendor selling coconut pancakes (Coconut & Co. Thai Fusion). The coconut pancakes (aka khanom krok - $4 for 8 pieces) reminded me of the sticky rice from mango sticky rice and these pancakes were actually quite good. [Conclusion]: Our party only ended up staying for 30 minutes, but overall this is a great farmers market for anyone who's looking for solid one-stop food options and not necessarily looking for a produce-focused farmers market.

The farmers market stands are set up in one row across the walkway of the front of the park. It's a relatively small farmers market, and you can walk through the whole thing within 5 minutes. Even though it's small, there are plenty of good options. Food stands can include filipino, arepas, thai, argentinian, gyros, quesibirria, sushi, sourdough, desserts, and more! There are also some specialty food stands like probiotic drinks, beef jerkey, and dried fruit candy. And of course there are a couple of fresh veggie stands. On my last visit I got an iced americano from the coffee cart, and a chicken sisig plate from the filipino food stand. I enjoyed my brunch in the shade. The park has plenty of shady and grassy spots to chill at. A great farmers market to visit on Saturdays 9am-1pm!
