That being said, if you work or live anywhere close to the East Village and can sneak over to City on a Tuesday morning, this is an absolute jewel of Downtown San Diego. The Urban Farm is exactly what it sounds like: a little patch of farmland smack dab in the middle of the City College campus. You can enroll in a class and learn all about sustainable farming, etc, or you can even just volunteer to work there planting, maintaining, harvesting, and selling the garden/farm wares. They now have a weekly market, every Tuesday from 9:30-11am selling their seasonal offerings. Right now (Jan) they have turnips, radishes, braising greens (kale, chard, collards, etc), herbs, edible flowers (calendula), and more. Even if you're not a hyper-foodie (I'm not), we all can probably agree that it's better for our bodies and our communities to eat and buy locally grown and seasonal foods. This is a small and perfect opportunity to not only eat and shop for your food wisely, but to support a very cool educational program as well. I work at City but I'm NOT affiliated with the Farm, I'm really just proud of this tiny speck of dirt and goodness in the middle of the city.

This farmer's market is the product of a very cool program that has converted a large chunk of the school's property from grass to a bustling farm that includes a wide array of veggies and fruits. The people that run this program are super cool, nice, and extremely knowledgeable about their crops and organic agriculture in general. Definitely worth a trip if your anywhere near the area. They also allow volunteers to help out and learn about farming on Tuesday and Saturday mornings from 9am-Noon.

I was planning to make a steak tonight for dinner, so I came in to pick up some mushrooms, Anaheim peppers, and some potatoes. The cook thing was, that they not just had potatoes, but they also had purple potatoes, so I picked up a half dozen of those. The peppers and mushroom were in their walk in cooler. Yes, you get to walk into a cooler filled with great produce. In addition, to the impressive collection of organic mushroom inside the cooler, there was also some beautiful golden beets, white turnips, rainbow chard, and a variety of green beans and pods. The Anaheim peppers were impressive. They were a great green and unusually plump and were reasonably priced at $1.51 per pound. The purple potatoes were $1.30 per pound, and the mushrooms were I believe $2.32 lbs, all fair enough and quite reasonable for organic produce. In addition to all the great produce, they also offer Sadie Rose Baking Company baked goods and Bread & Cie's Rustic European Stone Earth Breads. I'm telling you, if you like mushrooms, you have to check this place out. They have a nice collections

While Healing from the Ground Up is a CSA, it's the farm stand in Alpine where the real action is…read more About a month ago, I was looking for a reliable source for fresh organic produce not too far from home, and I found all that and more at the Healing from the Ground Up farm stand. Every Friday and Saturday, Taj opens his farm stand to the public, and it's here that you will find freshest, most delicious organic produce you've ever purchased in your life. My wife and I stop by every Saturday morning to see what Taj has, and we're always amazed at the selection, which changes from week to week depending on what's ready for harvest. Yesterday, for example, we bought broccoli, carrots, celery, lettuce, spring onions, and edible (!!) flowers. Then, Taj told us to wait a minute. He went out to his gardens and harvested some sugar snap peas for us right then and there. Oh. My. God. The sweetest, most delicious snap peas I've ever eaten. We of course bought some of those too. And that's the real beauty of going to the farm stand yourself instead of just doing a CSA box. You get to interact with Taj. He'll tell you what he loves best at the moment, and introduce you to some things you might not have otherwise tried (hello, black radish!). You'll also find fresh eggs (we have our own chickens so I don't need to buy those), lemons, and a variety of other produce. Whatever's fresh. Whatever's delicious. And if you need more of something, Taj is more than happy to go out in the garden and pick it for you. Extra bonus: the prices are very reasonable. The farm stand is currently open only on Friday from 2:30 to 5:00 PM, and Saturday from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM. Check the website for updates or give Taj a call.

She serves warmed sweet and savory hand pies that have the best tasting flaky butter crust I have ever had. An added bonus is getting the rundown on ingredients and flavors from the chef when you buy the pies. The fillings are locally sourced and rely on what fruits and vegetables are in season at the farmers' market. Typical fillings on hand are Swiss chard and feta, mushroom Havarti, curried sweat potato, grilled summer vegetables, lemon ricotta, caramel pecan, dark chocolate and caramel pecan and strawberry. The pies also hold well to eat later or bring to dinner parties. BlueSpark also sell packages really good tasting vegan and wheat free energy squares which are perfect for workouts and travel food.

The NI stats are also very friendly to my cardio-restrictive diet. The only reason they are not getting five stars is that they really need to work on their web site.

I found these Bitcin Bars at Cream of the Crop, and organic food store on Coast Highway in Oceanside, just south of Vista Way. They got two more stars for that.
