CASH ONLY or VENMO…read more Good but could of been Great. Visited Chino Farms for the first time last month. It's conveniently located near my Doctors office. I love driving down the windy roads, it really feels like you are elsewhere. I walked up to the stand and there were ony a few other customers. On the stand they had a lot squash, herbs, tomatoes, figs, cucumbers, lettuce, oranges, among other goodies. I purchased their oranges, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and some figs (which didnt make into my bag- see more below). I spent about $19 Things to know: - Cash only or Venmo Pros: - You know the pros, delicous produce - Best cucumber I've ever tasted, like ever!!!! Cons: - Prices are not listed on the produce - No receipts are given at purchase unless you ask for them - Because no receipt/price listed, I don't actually know that I paid for the figs but they didn't make it into my bag. When I tried reaching out to them, I didn't get a response. Of course it's not about the figs but rather transperancy. I like knowing how much things are. I also like to know how much I've been charged for those things. All in all Chino Stand is good, and well it's great if you dont mind some uncertainty- not about their products but about their prices.

On the side they are selling Christmas trees these days as well. I used to stop by here to pickup berries now and then but on this trip found that they were carrying Old Town bread and spotted the jalapeño and cheese bread so I grabbed a loaf. Great little farmers stand on the border of Encinitas and Carlsbad.

This farmers market beats the Vista Farmers Market for vegan prepared food!…read more At the temporary location, parking is difficult and the line to get in backs up into the street- so plan accordingly and give yourself extra time. There is a special area reserved for parking for those with handicap passes. This farmers market has lots of produce, prepared food, and other goods! I didn't see many organic produce stands, but I didn't have the chance to ask if the others use organic practices (pesticide/spray free) yet. There was plenty of space between the many rows to now feel crowded. I'm definitely going back! They even have San Diego Tempeh!! & Sugar Cane Juice... and VEGAN SUSHI!!! It looked like the school's bathrooms were open for using, as well as the picnic bench lunch tables for eating!

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

While we didn't buy anything because we were headed to a show and didn't want it to wilt in the hot car. We were pleased by the variety of offerings. Theodore favorite is rainbow chard and they had some for sale. The staff was friendly, it pay what you can with suggested prices and for those who can't afford veggies you can check out in a special line with staff assistance. I was delighted to discover this hidden gem and will be back to support them!

We were visiting North County…read moreand kept saying the whole time how much we wish we had a place exactly like this closer to us! The farm stand is absolutely adorable. I love the concept of making fresh food accessible to everyone and anyone. It's such a great mission. The highlight for us was the nature play area; my little one could have stayed there for hours. They've done a fantastic job creating an outdoor experience that's genuinely fun and engaging for kids of all ages. I also loved the "lead experiences" they host every hour. We joined the chicken feeding, which was a huge hit thanks to Daniel! We felt very safe throughout our visit, and the security team was incredibly helpful and a special thanks to Stephanie for that. We're already looking forward to our next trip back!

You're gonna go into Seaside and go to the counter and say I want the classic Cardiff crack sandwich, which will feed at least two people and maybe a kid beside.

When we first moved down here, I wasn't a huge fan of Cardiff crack, but I've become to look forward to every chance I get to have it. I know why it's a legend, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop and get it.

The portion is generous enough to share, and it's so much easier than dealing with the crowds, parking, long waits, or having to bus your own table like we seem to encounter at so many places around San Diego. For dinner, we often stop by the deli and seafood counter to pick up cooked shrimp and a few sides. We take everything back to our Airbnb, warm it up, and enjoy a relaxing dinner on the patio. It's become one of our favorite vacation traditions. The dessert case is incredible, and choosing just one treat is nearly impossible! I do miss the tuxedo custard mousse cake (or whatever it was called)--it was absolutely delicious. It's also a great place to grab lunch meats, fresh rolls, or bread for easy beach sandwiches. Best of all, the staff is consistently friendly and genuinely enjoys chatting with customers. I've had so many pleasant conversations with people at the seafood, meat, and deli counters over the years. Great food, great service, and always a stop we look forward to on every trip.
