Wow!! Now THIS is a top-notch Farmers Market (and I consider myself to be a Farmers Market…read moreconnoisseur). If you can get over the fact that parking is a nightmare (tip: get there early and use the free parking lot at the DMV) you'll love every second of your time here. We got there around 9:30am and were lucky enough to snag a spot at the aforementioned lot - about a 5 minute walk from the start of the market. From there, we took about 2 hours to fully explore, including a quick stop at a cute and affordably-priced vintage stop right off the vendors' booths. There is a huge variety of goods, mostly consumables with a few jewelry and handmade goods worked in. The vast majority of consumables booths had samples. I tried balsamic vinegars, loads of dips, some fresh fruit and tomatoes, bread, tempeh, you name it. I wasn't even hungry for lunch after going! If you aren't keen on samples, there are lots of prepared food booths for a full meal. Prices are reasonable. I bought a delicious Mediterranean 3 layer dip for $6 and my brother got a massive focaccia loaf for $10. The vendors were very friendly and helpful. Many (most?) also had business cards with shipping info if you're like me and have a full suitcase already. I would consider this market a must-visit if you find yourself in San Diego on a Sunday. Loved it!

Hillcrest Farmers Market (opened in April 1997) is San Diego's original and largest farmers market…read morewith over 175 vendors. [Hours]: Sunday (rain or shine) from 9 AM to 2 PM. [Parking]: Difficult parking situation, but I got really lucky and found a street parking spot near the intersection of Cleveland Ave and Richmond St at 9 AM. Apparently visitors can park for free at the DMV parking lot (3960 Normal St), but the lot fills up quickly so come early. According to the website, visitors can also park at the United States Postal Service parking lot at 3911 Cleveland Ave. [Amenities & vendors]: The farmers market does not accept EBT. The market takes up about three large blocks and visitors can find produce, gifts, arts and crafts, flowers, clothing, etc. Not many fruit stands offer samples, but other non-fruit food vendors do provide free samples. The market also has a solid food court including one vendor selling coconut pancakes (Coconut & Co. Thai Fusion). The coconut pancakes (aka khanom krok - $4 for 8 pieces) reminded me of the sticky rice from mango sticky rice and these pancakes were actually quite good. [Conclusion]: Our party only ended up staying for 30 minutes, but overall this is a great farmers market for anyone who's looking for solid one-stop food options and not necessarily looking for a produce-focused farmers market.

Dad did not love the crowds nor the hills, so we let him sit while we did a "power walk" of other vendors. Not a great day or venue necessarily for those with mobility issues.

Honestly, anyone can find something they like here. Argentinian empanadas, Indian samosas, onigiri, Vietnamese iced coffee, fresh lemonade. The options are endless.

Incredibly busy too

The farmers market stands are set up in one row across the walkway of the front of the park. It's a relatively small farmers market, and you can walk through the whole thing within 5 minutes. Even though it's small, there are plenty of good options. Food stands can include filipino, arepas, thai, argentinian, gyros, quesibirria, sushi, sourdough, desserts, and more! There are also some specialty food stands like probiotic drinks, beef jerkey, and dried fruit candy. And of course there are a couple of fresh veggie stands. On my last visit I got an iced americano from the coffee cart, and a chicken sisig plate from the filipino food stand. I enjoyed my brunch in the shade. The park has plenty of shady and grassy spots to chill at. A great farmers market to visit on Saturdays 9am-1pm!

Although there are only vendors only a small strip at the front of the park, there was enough variety to keep me intrigued for a little bit. And I had time to take a stroll around which adds to the effect of a beautiful Saturday morning here. I ended grabbing some fresh berries to go (and bought from a lady who was handcrafting doggy bandanas)! Highly recommend for a morning stroll, snack break and perhaps some picnicking with friends, sounds like a chill Saturday.

They have a variety of fresh produce and dry goods. I love coming here to see what they have on special and their deals. I come here at least once a month and I stock up on certain items. They have updated their hours and they are open on Monday- Saturday from 7am to 6pm. I have tried calling them to ask a question and their phone number does not work, I recommend looking on yelp and making sure they are open. The employees there are absolutely nice and helpful. They let you know when their next shipment is coming depending on the certain item you are looking for. If you haven't been here yet, you should check out this cute and quiet farmers outlet.

VENDORS: Read if you are considering vending here. After…read morevending here smoothly 3 or 4 times years ago, more recently I had a rough time after paying for 2 markets and being ignored after one got cancelled, then i was left out of the second one. I had reached out many, many times, with no response. I had a few other vendors message me with similar issues. All of this went on for almost 2 months, eventually they did return my money, but none of this should've ever happened in the first place. I still haven't heard from them - any reasoning or apology. I just HIGHLY recommend you make direct contact with them before even considering vending here, or you may have a very stressful time. If they do not respond, do not vend here in my opinion. They just underwent a rebrand i guess so maybe they will be better in the future. To the market - I hope you respect the vendors (very small businesses and artists) going forward

Everyone had delicious samples, but I wish I had the money to spend there. Everything was pretty expensive.

UPDATE Like my first…read morereview... SAME-O, SAME-O. But this tiny 2-block farmers market grew on me through the years. It's very local friendly and not packed at all. I love how the vendors have become regulars and like how they engage with the community. Ex: Halloween, each vendor were passing out candy to kids so kids and families were coming to the market in costumes. I don't have kids but my dog is my fur-child. We were also dressed up and there were SO many other dogs and their owners (kid less and with kids) in costume roaming the market. And I like coming here to grab a bite to eat. There are vendors that are overlooked by other competing vendors at the bigger farmers markets or they are starting out and start at the smaller ones.

I've been to this farmers market over the years - they stopped having it for a while and it was brought back by the ASCENDKemet Collective. This last time I went there was a vendor selling coffee/pastries, one selling pupusas, one selling pizza, two vendors selling green leafy vegetables (like collard greens, kale and bitter leaf), and Bernardino Loera Farms - notable for the seasonal avocado varieties they sell like fuerte, zutano, bacon - whenever the season for those comes up. This one is in a convenient location near the City Heights Library, a nice little park, and an El Super. There is parking on Wightman on the other side of Fairmount Avenue as well as other side streets in the area.

Not super huge but enough number of vendors to make it interesting.

I've gotten a few items in the past (sandwhices, quiche) and they are not good. The store is small and often hard to get by staff stocking the shelfs. The is no parking associated with the store. However, there are usually spots available on the street (for free, for now). The ambiance is that of a local market. I'm guessing most patrons walk to the store. It's a great market to get a few items that you forgot to shop for at the larger stores. I wouldnt recommend doing all your grocery shopping here! All in all a great market!
