Came to the Leucadia Farmers Market for the first time and it did not disappoint. Located in an elementary 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! read more

-Amazing farmers market! Great variety of produce (fruits veggies meats etc) - food selection was also super cool, we got stuffed hash browns which were delicious, there were pasta, pizza, Kenyan food, Thai food, etc. after ordering food, you can also sit in the grass areas or lunch tables areas that are shaded. My highlight of this place was the green juice from morning star ranch!! Everyone had a bottle and rightfully so, super nutritious and delicous - this farmers market is at a elementary school which is great -parking can be tough but we had parked in downtown Encinitas and just walked over (about 20 minutes) read more

ENCINITAS/LEUCADIA FARMERS MARKETING @ ENCINITAS This was my first time at a farmers market that is actually located behind a school. The parking situation is street parking mostly, we were lucky to find someone leave the time we needed a spot! The place was HUGE and packed with vendors! There were people sitting at tables eating, others lounging on the lawn, it had such great vibes and a real sense of community. My friends and I walked through all the different strips, and I'd say there are about three main sections: one with fresh produce like strawberries and veggies, another with prepared foods, and a third with unique local goods. We ended up getting a salmon crêpe, which was delicious, it cost around $18 for one. We also stopped by Baba Foods, which I highly recommend if you're a big dip person. We got their three-layer dip with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta cheese, paired with these incredible lemon pepper chips, it was so good! Overall, I loved visiting this farmers market. Everything felt so fresh, and the size of the market made it easy to explore without feeling too crowded. The lines weren't long, and everyone was super friendly. The only thing I'd note is that some of the prepared food portions were a bit smaller than expected for the price, so just keep that in mind. Still, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in Encinitas and want to visit a lively farmers market. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it's absolutely worth the stop! read more

Such a fun farmer's market, starts Sunday at 10AM. Try to get there early for better parking--I usually park in the parking pods and cross the underpass which goes under the train tracks (lots of pretty mosaic art to see too). Lots of options for produce and ready made food, as well as some additional trinkets and wares. Just bananas also never disappoints--creamy and a perfect morning treat! read more

This is such a nice farmer's market in a bougie area with great food and vendors. Parking can be a little tough, but if you're okay with walking a bit, there's actually a lot of spots available along the road. My favorite stall is Rafiki's Foods. The spicy chicken, curry cabbage, black eyed peas, coconut rice, and collard greens are all so so amazing! And their hot sauce is super good too! We actually make the drive just to eat at this stand. There was also another popular stand selling frozen bananas that are sent through a masticating juicer to basically come out like ice cream. A bit pricy for what it is but it's a great dessert that can be made healthy. There's live music and also an indoor bathroom you can use (not just porta potties). read more

We were lucky enough to stumble across this Farmer's Market on 4/6. It was popping! Tons of vendors and shoppers. Excellent energy, love music, and lots of seating both on benches (shades) and on the grass. We tried a mango sticky rice from Mango on the Moon. Delicious!! Just the right level of sweetness, a nice cool snack for a sunny afternoon. We browsed the produce stands, thrifted clothing. Overall a great time. Highly recommend stopping by! Note: parking can be challenging since the school is within a residential neighborhood. We went near the tail end so was able to find street parking but there was a sign for a parking lot nearby. read more

This market is always so fun. They have great produce options and flowers as well. They also have butchers and lots of speciality foods. It is not dog friendly, but there is a great stand to get your dog treats on the way out. It is very family friendly and there is lots of space to sit and enjoy your lunch while you shop. read more

Such a fun Farmers Market. Everything looked so fresh and tasty. Lots of samples. I ended up buying the Dirt Food when I got home.

I love this little farmers market. The parking is a bit crazy, but they have great food and provide a family experience.

Location is great with many vendors and food options. However, parking is really bad and it's always crowded. There are usually long lines at the popular vendors and there is no shade so it gets hot during summer. read more

Such a great farmers market! Lots of great venders with food, clothing, jewelry, and health conscious items. I absolutely love the Kenya food tent. The Sambusa's are my favorite! It's definitely a must if you're passing through Encinitas on a Sunday early afternoon. Just keep in mind that they close at 2pm. read more

Roselia thank you so much for invited us to go to this farmers market! This is such a cute area and loved all the different foods and vendors they had here. I really enjoyed all the foods we got and drinks they had some awesome things here. Also got baby girl this handmade axolotl that is so cute. Terry K. Shared her delicious meal she got too and we all shared fries. What a beautiful farmers market really loved coming here! I hope to be back again. They had live music this young teenager boy was singing he did so good too. They had sugar cane drinks, and all sorts of delicious foods and treats here. The parking was a little rough but we found parking at the building behind us. Very cute place to go if you are ever in the area to go to a farmers market this would definitely be the place to go. I am happy with my freeze dried Bit O honey too lol :) thank you for everyone being so sweet here. The weather was perfect we had a table to sit down and eat too. What a lovely place. Highly recommend to check it out. Have a beautiful day :) Aloha read more

was originally planning on making it to the encinitas street fair but by mistake ended up at this farmers market and we were not mad at all. it was fairly small, but still pretty busy especially by the food vendor area. you can find your usual farmers market essentials - produce, dairy, eggs but also other fun vendors i have not seen at other markets. i got myself some sugarcane juice and got too overstimulated to grab food. i imagine everything was delicious though seeing how people were lining up everywhere. there is also live music and you can sunbathe in the sun while eating or grab a covered seat at the tables. parking is tough but not too bad if you don't mind walking. you will find a spot depending how far you're willing to walk lol read more

How I miss California fresh produce! Every year when I visit my friend in Encinitas, we always come to this Farmers Market. They are open every Sunday from 10:00am - 2:00pm and they hold the market in the outside area of a local elementary school. There are so many booths offering delicious and fresh vegetables and fruits. Samples are always available. We always end up purchasing some fresh veggies so we can make a delicious dinner. In addition to the booths they offer a whole row of food and drink options from fresh smoothies to bold, flavorful coffee drinks. This time we decided to order crepes for the hike we were going on and they were so delicate and delicious. There are also fresh flowers to be picked up along with mushrooms and my favorite booth. This is a lovely woman who sells greeting cards but also air plants. I have purchased two air plants from her now and they are both thriving. Such a great locals spot to hit up when in the area. Enjoy! read more

Every Sunday morning at 10AM on the grounds of the Paul Ecke Central Elementary School on Union Street in Encinitas is a fairly large farmers market with lots of produce and food vendors. It goes on till 2PM but I've hung out past that to enjoy last minute food purchased from a vendor - I've been the Pastrami Stand's last customer on more than one occasion as they were still able to hook it up while others were already almost done packing it up for the day. If you enter from the main entrance to the northeast of the grounds there is a shaded set of tables for folks to eat what they purchased from food vendors and there is a lot of seating. Usually there is also live entertainment near the entrance. There are also bathrooms in the school in the building all the way to the west. There are two main lanes going down from the basketball court area all the way down to the field up to Halcyon road - the western side is mostly produce and packaged and prepared food items and crafts and the eastern side is mostly food vendors. The crowd is usually pretty large and that means parking is not easy to find especially if you come past starting time. There's parking to find in the neighborhood though but most likely a long walk away so come earlier if you can. read more

Farmers market but no dogs allowed? What a dumb rule. If it werent for the banana icecream is give this place a 1 star.

Was in the neighborhood and went to a local fruit store that I visited last month. This month the prices had pretty much doubled so left to check out this Encinitas/Leucadia Farmer's market. Horrible parking as expected but a really fun place to visit. It was laid out like a maze. LOL Beautiful looking fruits and veggies. Also had a delicious Kenyan booth/stall to enjoy as well as a tea cup fresh coconut place. (forgot to take a picture). For sure will be going back to this place! read more

Nice medium sized farmers market. Its laid out in an oval shape and one side was dominated by a huge variety of food vendors. It had a good balance of farmers to food vendors / artists. Since its our first farmers market in the area, we don't have a great frame of reference for prices, but they seemed in line. Parking looks to be rough. We got lucky and did not have to wait, but lots of cars circling around and neighbors that lets just say are less than enthusiastic about your presence read more

"KAREN" AND "KEN" VENDOR OF THE FARMERS MARKET - small and selective - shoppers are predominately from Leucadia or Encinitas (mostly old.er people) - street parking While in line because they open the gate at exactly 10:00am on the damn dot, the organizer ALLOWED dog entrance. There was another dog in line before me. While IN the farmers market there was one service dog and a few other non-service dogs roaming around the market (respectfully). 1. Management changed roughly 5 months ago so rules may have changed. No dog rule before doesn't seem applicable - DOG OWNERS WERE WELCOMED IN!!!! 2. Farmers Marker is on school grounds but NOT school related so signs posted on school gates aren't necessarily for the Farmers Market (but of course we need to be respectful) 3. The area where there is grass and vendors serving cooked food has a sign posted "No Dogs". Respectfully we are following rules and buying fresh farm eggs and leaving - that's it, fresh eggs and leaving. Then KAREN and her husband KEN (a vendor) start making a scene "NO DOGS IN THE FARMERS MARKET". I replied saying "THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WITH DOGS AND THEY ALLOWED US TO COME IN. IF DOGS WEREN'T ALLOWED THEY SHOULD HAVE SAID AT THE ENTRANCE." And they continue to be the Karen and Ken they are... yapping away. So annoying they need to shut up. If they put this much energy in something this petty, how about they try putting that energy towards their booth because there isn't a single person at their booth shopping. F* YOU! I am doing my shopping very respectfully because we were welcomed in. Don't trying to push me out and isolate me when their are other dog owners with their dogs. You don't own the PUBLIC Farmers Market. Yes, their are rules but they were FOLLOWED TO OUR KNOWLEDGE. Quit trying to be the only Karen and Ken when it didn't bother a single person (in line, non of the organizers, and no other vendor) but yourselves. If you don't like it, leave! *clowns* I've been to every farmers market from Oceanside to Chula Vista and this is the only public farmers market that doesn't "allow dogs". School is NOT in session so the No Dog sign doesn't apply - especially when a farmers market organizer allows people with dogs inside. No harm in bringing dogs to the farmers market. There is a sign that applies to the farmers market - it's posted ON THE GRASS area and says "no dogs". Understandable and that can be respected. read more

This review is for the fresh seafood vendor "Fish Addiction." First time purchasing fresh fish at an outdoor market. We purchased Red Snapper on a cool April morning. Option was for either fresh or frozen. We took fresh. Vendor bagged in ice for us. We were stunned upon opening and grilling it up at home. The freshest most delicious Red Snapper we've enjoyed anywhere, prepared in our own kitchen! Very reasonable pricing. read more

It's been awhile since I have been to this farmer's market. I forgot how crazy it was to try to find parking. They do have a lot a good vendors, but I was disappointed that a few of the ones I use to go to weren't there anymore. Overall, still a nice change from the grocery stores to get your veggies and fruit from. Plus have a variety a little eateries to choose from too. read more

Many eatery choices like Indian, Kenyan, Mexican, America - especially woodfired Pizza! All tasty lookin comfort grub! Eats for sweet tooth's, like Cinnamon rolls, chocolates and cakes! Double yum yum! Breads, olive oil's, hummus and honey! Local meat and eggs! Pantry and frig staples! Herbal teas, Kombucha, coffee and lemonade! Thirst quenchers! Certified organic produce! Or pesticide free! And other? Veggies! Popcorn, tortilla chips and pita chips! Munchies! Organic cheese made from Jersey cows! Gimme that cheese please! Surfboards, T-shirts, hats, crafts and jewelry! That's about it! Drive in circles, park and walk. Busy! Good December day crowd! Always, we seek out farm markets when traveling, mainly to buy farm fresh, organic and sustainable produce and proteins! Compared with farm markets throughout the west and Canada to Mexico, a little more produce for me would take it up a notch. A few more farmstands! But hey, I am thankful for the farmers here producing in the winter. Perhaps, this place come spring and summer, when more farmers are in prime harvest time, put a little more pop in this market stop! read more

Market is on Sundays! read more

one of the nicest farmer's markets around. Picked up some Rainer cherries and first apricots of the year this week. yum the elementary school location has a a nice lawn and amazing shaded tables to sit on and enjoy a snack or breakfast, lunch, etc. Parking is a nightmare, so ride your bike or skateboard or something. Good food, plant, meant, produce vendors. It is one of the County Department of Agriculture's certified farmer's markets, you have have that extra assurance, that the folks there actually grew their produce, and the organics are actually organic. Only downside is the costs. prices seem "fixed" and not as dynamic as you would expect. eVeryone has the same thing at exactly the same price, and its 2x the cost of the same at Vons/Kroger/Costco. Why is that? for better value, head to the Linda vista farmers market, especially at the end of the eve, and be brave to haggle! its a little sketchy listening to some of the vendors make their product claims about the healing properties of this and that. Sad, stupid and shortsighted that dogs are forbidden. (Wake up California. calling dog owners to organize and change the laws).. I Europe, dogs are welcome at all the finest restaurants, metro's and yet civilization thrives. we don't go terribly often, mainly due to the high prices, but its a fun expensive lark. read more

Hands down my favorite farmers market in the north county area - freshes veggies and options to fill your house and very reasonably priced

Nice hipster vibe. Good place to grab a drink or quick bite. I few nice sit and eat restaurants nearby.

We were honestly really surprised at how nice this farmers market was. There were quite a few tents and different things. I got a crepe and my boyfriend got a burrito. Both of our items did not taste amazing, so if we return we'd order different things for sure. We also tried taro mochi muffins which were delicious and some macarons which also were delicious. Parking seemed hard at first but if you keep driving there's plenty of parking on a dirt street that you have to drive over the curb for. You'll see a bunch of other cars parked there. It's located inside a school. Just follow the crowd of people or you can ask someone like we did. Nice vibes to hang out. Definitely family friendly read more

I do like visiting Farmer's Markets. They are just fun, meeting new artisans and farmers with their commonplace and unique items, not to mention all the delicious food vendors. This market was no different and offered a good number of organic produce farmer and specialty artisans, like bread, cheese, sausage making, and fish mongers. There are a couple of nurseries also selling succulents, palms, and a variety of other plants. I picked up some baguettes from Pager's, some beautiful strawberries, some coffee from Caffè Espresso, and some Arepas from a fine Venezuelan vendor. I like that they keep all the food vendors on the same area right next to the school lunch benches from the local school the market resides on. You have to wait until exactly 10 am for them to open the gates for this market. There's a small parking lot in front so most parking will be on the street in the surrounding neighborhood. read more

Really good quality farmer's market, this review is for management. Came in with my service dog, there were zero visible signs indicating dogs in general were not allowed let alone service dogs. "Manager" runs up to me and super rudely informs me of this. This is a great weekly community event, it's a shame the management has zero manners and tolerance for individuals with disabilities. Truly disturbed by the experience and hope that this issue is addressed. read more

Sunday is Fun day in Leucadia. I look forward to my weekly trip our fabulous farmers market. This market is like a local street faire every week. Families with little children eat from a huge assortment of food vendors and dance to live music. The diversity of prepared food is amazing. They serve everything from raw organic gourmet foods, Indian, African, seafood, crepes, salads, barbecue and many many others. Musicians sing and play while children dance and parents enjoy the covered picnic tables and chat with friends. There are vendors of crafty foods, soaps, salts, plants, home made cheeses, gourmet Greek olives, specialty sauces and juices. The hero of the event is fresh, local produce. Farmers bring organic purple potatoes, Kale, heirloom tomatoes, squash blossoms, passion fruit, cherimoya, squash, leafy greens and much much more. My favorite is possibly the mushroom guy, he is super friendly and has fantastic product. I usually get a basket with three varieties of mushrooms each week. Eating produce at peak season is easy when you shop locally and buy the bountiful harvest. Just look at which products are being showcased or talk to the friendly vendors who will give you tips on how to prepare their products. Leucadia's farmers market has a convenient location near the beach, a friendly crowd of both patrons and vendors and a great time on Sunday morning so you can be prepared for the week with healthy treats. read more

Sundays from 10 am - 2 pm Parking does get a little rough for the farmer's market on Sundays. I got there at 10:15 am yesterday, and people were already circling the school parking lot. If you don't mind a short walk, just keep driving down the residential street and you'll find parking eventually. I've never had to drive around for more than 5-10 min before I find parking. I love farmer markets! There's plenty of booths to look at. The market is set up that the 1st row, closest to the picnic benches are food booths, Thai, crepes, etc you order and they serve it up hot and fresh for you. The second row is filled with produce. Pretty good selection. This isn't the biggest farmers market out there, but it's a good size. I got some good deals yesterday on grapefruit, cauliflower, celery, and broccoli. I definitely recommend this market for a good Sunday morning stroll. read more
