This is our favorite local farmers market! There's a train that runs and is super kid friendly. The…read moreline can get very long for train tickets and waiting so go early if it's on your to do list. The market itself is about two blocks and some change. All of the vendors are really friendly & knowledgable. This farmers market is extremely dog friendly so be aware if you have allergies. The only downside to this market is how rude people can be when it comes to their dogs. We've seen owners let their dogs go to the bathroom just steps away from vendor tents and it's disgusting. Overall a really nice farmers market with lots of yummy food & local produce.

We've always wanted to get fresh, warm and delicious bread and pastries from the Chaupain Bakery stand, but their line has always been insanely long. Luckily enough during our visit this past weekend, the line wasn't as terrible when we passed by them--you grab that opportunity without dilly dallying because a minute later, that can change real quick. We got a slice of their caramelized onion quiche, a strawberry bar, a chocolate chip muffin, and a bag of their brioche buns. Sooooo yummy! We also got Amapola's banana pudding and it was divine! The perfect dessert for a sweet tooth. It's served chilled, so creamy and not too sweet. I love that you still get some banana chunks in there too. Will definitely get this again the next time we visit! I was also in dire need of more coffee that morning, so I decided to get some from Wipeout Coffee. I got a large Iced Hazelnut Latte with oat milk. I was so happy to get to try new coffee from a local roaster! It was pretty good--I really enjoyed my drink--just an insane amount of ice even after asking for light ice. Their coffee was just so crisp and refreshing. They also have all kinds of fresh and vibrant greenery, flowers, and produce that are all just so hard to resist! Unless something drastic changes, we'll always come to visit this farmer's market.

What seems & feels like it would be out in the hinterlands of Ramona is actually located at the corner of Mercy Road and Black Mountain Rd., right off 15 Freeway south of the 56 Freeway.

Western and English riding skills are taught along with upper level dressage lessons. Beautiful Canyonside Community Park is right up the road and there are trails galore to go explore all around here.

The ceremony was held under some tall trees which was perfect since it was a bit warm, even though it was 5pm already. The dinner was a buffet of salad, potatoes, short ribs and chicken parmesan. I wish I had taken two servings of short ribs and skipped the chicken parm. The short ribs were juicy, so tender and just falling apart with my fork. Excellent, especially for a buffet meal at a wedding. The place is really cool and if you are considering having an event in the future, check the Castle out. HAVE FUN!!
