I am a huge supporter of Farmers Markets and love the Carlsbad Village has one, but this one just…read moredidn't do it for me. Parking is hard (and people were not patient- lots of honking), the farmers market is only one block, and it is CRAMPED. I can imagine those with strollers, wheelchairs or other assistive devices, or wagons struggling to navigate between the stands. Some canopy tents go right up to the curb. I enjoy a farmers market where I can browse to see the options, but this one felt like you had to know exactly what you wanted and get in and get out. One entire side was prepared food & I didn't see many, if any vegan options. The other side is produce & a plant stand. I am very pleased with the plant stand. The guy was helpful & knowledgeable. I got my very own passion fruit plant! A benefit to this farmers market, if you can find a parking spot- is that you can then walk down to the city beach and wander throughout the rest of Carlsbad Village browsing local shops, like the new book store!

I am such a farmers market girl so I was so excited to hear there was one in Carlsbad the same day…read moreI was arriving to town! So many incredible vendors. I stopped at a fruit stand, truly wish I could remember which one and I grabbed some enormous peaches, they looked too good to pass up. I've never been so serious when I tell you that these peaches, were out of this damn world. I have never in my life had a peach this good. I think I've told at least 10 people since I've been back in New York about these peaches. Unreal. They had flower stands, produce, dips, pizzas, kombucha, fresh pastas, granola, baked goods, breads, gluten free options, I mean something for everyone and more. The place was absolutely hopping, a total mad house in the best way possible. Now let's talk about Grammy's Granola. I meant the nicest woman to ever walk this sweet planet Earth, Janet. She was from Long Island like me and she made my day and more. I bought her unbelievable zucchini bread and it was DELICIOUS. This is a stand you cannot miss, this woman is a gem!!!

The Saturday Vista Farmers Market is one of my favorites in North County! Lots of parking- even if…read moreit takes a bit to get in. LOTS of produce, prepared food, and made goods stands. For produce- there are organic, non organic, and non certified organic that use organic practices. For prepared food, there are plenty of vegan & gluten free options too! There is plenty of space between the aisles allowing for easy browsing. This will be one of my regular farmers markets now!

Huge and diverse! It's not as chaotic as the Little Italy farmer's market. There are plenty of…read moreproduce stands, niche food stands, prepared foods, and crafts. There's something for everybody and something special you can find! I loved the fresh baked goods from 1 stand, the biltong meat sticks, and the Carribbean food. The parking can get crazy so take what you can find. I am annoyed there is no seating at the market so you can enjoy your meal. I couldn't even find a public trashcan. I wish it was a more friendly place for the prepared food where the market is open later and you don't have to stand to eat your food.

This is such a fun market to visit because it is one of the only night markets in San Diego and has…read morean ocean view! There are so many food spots and lots of amazing dessert options. My favorite vendors to visit are Leroy's Sweet Potato Shack and Boutcha Gelato. There's also a handful of art and jewelry booths as well. Overall an excellent way to spend a Thursday evening!

This review is for the morning farmers market for fresh produce--…read more I wanted some fresh seasonal produce and visited this spot during the Thursday morning farmers market in Oceanside. The people Working the stalls are friendly but not pushy and it is so much calmer than the night market! They had a huge variety of fruits and they even let me try some to make sure I liked it prior to buying it. Prices are reasonable and I would definitely recommend buying the baskets of fruits or bunches of grapes rather than just picking your own because I think that is a little bit more cost-efficient.. There's just something about locally grown produce and this does it right!

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!

We went to the fresh salad roll stall today 20th September and we bought the rolls to come home…read more They were so BAD. 95 % lettuce and we had to pick out the rotten bits Little slice of tofu and cucumber. DON'T DO IT. They are horrible. We only live 5 mins from market but we will never go back to that Stall Just wish I knew the name of them. On a great note.... the hash brown guy was great.

Great prices (they beat most stores and farmers market prices) and their fruit and veggies are fresh and tasty. I've met Delilah each time I've gone; she's very sweet and knowledgeable. You can bring your pups if you want, but they must be on a leash and kept to the front gravel area by the parking lot. You can pick your own fruit (very cute date idea) or if you're local, you can do weekly fruit/veggies pick ups. This subscription is a steal for a large amount of local grown fruits & veggies (think two heavy paper bag size). Check out their website for more information.

Conveniently located off PCH across from the Solana Beach transit center, and a short walk to the…read morebeach. There are some 2 and 3 hour parking spots in front of some of the stores. There are a plethora of shops, cafes, coffee shops, electric bike stores, art galleries, and the belly up tavern. Found a few stores with some unique items that were reasonably priced so I was able to get a few gifts and do some window shopping. It was nice to kind of be ignored in almost every store I went in. I don't like being hounded by the salespeople so that worked well for me, but I think it would turn others off. Maybe they were figuring I was not their normal clientele and didn't need to help me. I did get several gifts at 2 different stores, and it ended up being a worthwhile trip. It is a cool little street, and it is eclectic, with a wide variety of unique types of stores with all price levels. If you have not been and are in the area, and want to try a cool shopping experience, you should stop in.

And if you're tired of shopping you can grab a bite to eat, go to a brewery, have coffee or wine tasting. I dig it from the street view!

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!
