I can't believe it took me this long to stop by the Seaside Farmers Market! I've driven past it so…read moremany times and finally decided to check it out, and I'm so glad I did. We are honestly so lucky to have a farmers market like this in Seaside. The setting alone makes it special. Being out on the grass with the lake nearby creates such a relaxing, easygoing atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. There was a great mix of vendors. Fresh produce, delicious food, and really unique craft booths. Everything felt thoughtfully curated and welcoming. I also really appreciated that they had a bounce house and cornhole set up for the kids, which made it fun for the whole family and not just a quick shopping stop. I truly hope the community continues to support this market because it's such a great asset for our city. It deserves to thrive.

Friendly people, and a lovely variety of fruits and veggies, along with other unique items. I'm now addicted to Fruitful Farms toffee almonds (cinnamon toffee, coconut toffee, and butter toffee) .... SO GOOD! I'm willing to make the 2.5 hour drive back to Thistle Hut just to get more of those. Plus, they have the most adorable little white scruffy pup that gently greets visitors. Definitely give this roadside stand a try ... you won't be disappointed.

So much more room for the vendors and buyers. The verity of sellers easily doubled which brings in more folks, win win.

Living easily within walking distance this is a perfect Saturday morning walk. Last words...community.

My husband and I were driving back from Big Sur and we were going to go to giant artichoke…read more However, I saw signs that said Pezzini farms and advertised all what they had. I immediately had my husband take that exit and check it out. When I saw artichokes artichokes and more artichokes,, I was sold. I went there to look and see what they had. We found so many amazing items! We purchased pasta sauce, artichoke salsa, artichoke focaccia, bread, artichoke bread, artichoke sweet bread, like banana bread, but with artichokes, we bought actual artichokes, artichoke pizza, and mushroom pizza, frozen deep-fried artichokes, a Japanese black watermelon, a cactus plant, artichoke raviolis, and some amazing soft English muffins. Very unique. I know it was a lot, but we don't live close by so we wanted to stock up. What I really like about this place is the friendly people there especially Sara and there was another gal that unfortunately I didn't get her name and the fact that all the artichoke items are from the artichoke fields there and they support local/family bakers and businesses. We also went to the "Choke Coach" it was recommended by Sara. It was on the premises and it was a food truck that primarily sold artichoke related items. I ordered the three artichoke tacos, which were amazing and the grilled artichokes with a lime cilantro dip. Very yummy! My husband ordered a bratwurst sandwich. The people working there, Maria and Bety we're very friendly and great cooks and customer service I was so glad we made that turn off the freeway! This place is a true gem. They also have cornhole to play while you're waiting for your food or just want to enjoy some fun for a minute. There was a cute, big chair for a Kodak moment

They have such an assortment of just about everything! We bought some cheese, salami and some bakery items. Such a well organized and clean place. I could have spent $1000.00 in there ! While checking out, out the cashier Mary had us laughing about picking the crops(artichokes) , her grown kids, school and college. She had my granddaughters laughing. We will definitely stop there again! There is also a small truck selling Elote corn and a few other items. If you're nearby, please stop and check this place out! Say Hi to Mary. She has been there 30 years.

Yesterday I enjoyed possibly the best fish taco I've ever had, at Dave's Oyster Shak & Grill. I ordered the pan seared tilapia taco; $2.75, and it was loaded with moist fish tasting somewhat Cajun. A few veggies & some sauce and I was back from the shopping-in-Sand City-but-didn't-find-a-damn-thing-I was-looking-for blues. The large, juicy, delicious, free strawberry I sampled was the icing on the cake. And BTW--the Tricycle pizza is excellent. Note: I also buy my eggs at this market--from Bigham's free range, from Prunedale--and the organic produce is nice to have access to (yesterday I found a nice, big cauliflower & some small potatoes to my liking). Postscript: Sadly, Dave's Oyster Shak (yes--that's how it was spelled) no longer has a booth here.

The olive tasting is so easy they just hand you a cup of bread and they have these little cups and it's not like you have to ask to taste each one it's all self-serve and I get it it could be a risk for a business to lose a lot of product that way but it really made it and enjoyable experience for me so I appreciated that. The olive oils are absolutely incredible we ended up buying three my favorite was the Tuscan herb do not leave without a bottle from this spot you will have regrets.
