I get what I need, the prices are posted and very reasonable and if it's not posted all you have to do is ask. I get quality produce, great prices and they have what I need when I need it!!! I got a few veggies for juicing (some small green apples that are perfect for my juicer, cucumbers and celery). I got some great size jalapeños that I'm going to wrap and bacon but first put cream cheese inside keeping it keto with that one!! And bananas were very reasonable and a small head of cabbage I got plans for that later ;) all of today's goodies was $10.10. As compared to any other grocery store, I'm sure this was the better deal and I shopped local!!! The only downside is they are limited in the refrigerated section, there's no cream cheese and other stuff one might need, but it's stocked with various beverages, milk, local salsa, Mexican cheeses and a few other random things like butter and eggs.

I drove about 30 minutes to this place specifically because I called ahead and asked whether they…read morehad fresh figs. The woman who answered the phone assured me that they had fresh, good-quality figs. When I arrived, the same woman directed me to the dried figs instead. That was very disappointing after making the drive based on the information I was given. My son also ordered a large carrot juice from the juice booth. When we went to pay, we were told the large carrot juice was $25. I asked why it was so expensive since there was no sign showing the price. She explained that because we requested carrots rather than more watery fruits, it cost them more. I did not find that explanation reasonable, especially since the price was not posted or communicated beforehand. I also noticed that I was overcharged for a few other items. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing. The customer service was not welcoming, the pricing was unclear, and the information I received over the phone was not accurate. I made a 30-minute trip specifically because of what I was told on the phone, and I would not make that trip again. This was my first visit and, unfortunately, it will be my last.

Today we tried the following: *Teriyaki Prime rib bowl w/pork belly fried rice from Tiger Sticks. This is usually a favorite but today rating 4/5 stars because the meat was a bit tough and it lacked seasoning. *Bacon wrapped Doggos Gus hotdog with the works 4.5/5 stars. *Vegan Coconut Sundae from Cocobomb. Dessert was light and had the right amount sugar 5/5 stars! There's so much great food and desserts. All the vendors are very friendly and some will give samples. Check it out! Happy Yelping :)

We've been here a couple times already since we have our fav stops but the food that we've had like…read morethe tacos, hot links from full belly bbq, gyros, etc has been delicious!. The people are always nice and welcoming. I love it ! The only thing for me is that I was wish there was more stalls we can finish seeing everything in maybe 10-15 min depending how fast you see everything. If you haven't , you should go check it out ! It's in a mall. They're open 4-8pm on Tuesday only ! I recommend the "Full Belly Bbq" the moink is awesome, "Suerte" for coffeee and refreshers, and "BomBom" for sweets but surprisingly they're not overly sweet like how some donuts are which is a bonus for me !

After spending the day visiting Mount Laguna, my wife and I headed back to the 8 freeway through…read moreDescanso. Just before we got to the freeway, we saw a hand painted sign on the side of the road introducing "El Campito Farm." Thank god that I hit the brakes to investigate them further. Their setup was as simple as can be. The entire operation consisted of a farmer, a few tables covered in burlap, and a respectable display of the freshest, grown on-site, organic vegetables that I have ever seen. We were on our way home to make fish tacos, but all we had was fish and tortillas. We had no fresh ingredients! But that's where Phillip(the farmer) and El Campito Farm stepped in. We picked through their selection and took a bunch of FRESH veggies home to complete our shopping list. They offered up all of the following in the middle of October: multi-colored beets, baby gourmet lettuce, fresh cilantro, green onions, fancy crimson forest onions, trumpet mushrooms, yellow squash, green squash, spherical squash, butternut squash, yellow carrots, etc... It is impressive for any local farm to produce all of these veggies simultaneously, but especially during October. What makes them my new favorite place to get produce, is that they grow sustainable food. El Campito Farm is organic, and they take it a step further. They have a philosophy that demands total respect for the Earth, their harvest, and ultimately, the families that rely on their fields for food. Most important question...How is their produce? It is superior to anything that I have ever purchased in a store. We used their onions, squash, cilantro, and mushrooms to prepare dinner tonight. My wife had to go lay down and relax after dinner. Why? Because the food was so good, that she had eaten the entire massive portion of food that I served her. The veggies were crisp, and maintained their distinct flavors like they should. Excellent! Think about it. El Campito Farm is producing high quality, locally grown, organic food for the community to enjoy. They are providing local jobs. And they are protecting the land by not abusing it. They love what they are doing and it shows. I will be back very soon. Until then, we will tell everyone about what you are doing out in the mountains of San Diego.

As seniors it is a huge help to receive a $50 card to buy produce ONLY at certified Farmers' Markets and arrive the day before Thanksgiving and be told they don't accept the card or they aren't signed up to receive it. Card expires Nov 30 so we will lose our $50. Couldn't even buy eggs. Farmers complain people are unsupportive yet how can we support them if they are greedy and cheat the Government programs? I will make sure to never set foot in a farmers' market again. I will full heartedly support overseas farmers from now on. Let's see who buys your overpriced produce. If they don't comply with the program they should NOT be allowed to sell there. Shame on you all. I find this to be un American. So much for making America great again and buying local and home grown! Also there are only 3 stands of produce and the rest are retail trinkets, NOT a real Farmers' Market.

(http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ranch-farmers-market-alpine?select=RK9bbRRsJJ_CmPxhiF5sNg#-N2syDG6smNPnzUw-guIIw) Also, the corn tortillas were only .99 for a pack of 3 dozen. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ranch-farmers-market-alpine?select=RK9bbRRsJJ_CmPxhiF5sNg#lthP16GuDrfimJq5jPE43Q) I also picked up a few Roma tomatoes, since they were only .99 per pound. I gotta make that salsa.. This market also has a butcher on the premise, who prepares fresh cuts of meats, and also makes special marinades for their house prepared carne asada and pollo asado for your grill. The place is small, but they carry the important basics, and they provide that very important down to earth friendly hospitality. Oh yes, they also have a propane tank exchange program.

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.

Whelp, I have a solution for that...plan your OWN Vegan Festival and it can be wherever you want it to be! Until then, this is the best thing to happen to the San Diego Vegan scene since...ever! and (2) the lines are too looooong. I get there when it opens and there are zero lines. So, there you have it: problems solved. Either drive to where it is or plan your own and if you don't, get there when it starts. I am gracious and thankful that people are VOLUNTEERING their time to put on this awesome vegan festival and coordinating with the mall and vendors. It's held the first Friday of each month.
