I absolutely love this farmers market! It's located at Mariners Church, and even though the church…read moreparking lot is massive, everyone seems to know about the farmers market. Because it gets so popular and busy, finding parking can still be a bit of a challenge. They are open every Saturday from 8:00am-12:00pm. Some of the vendors I can list off the top of my head include: Earth & Egg Farms (always a long line), Freshly Made (sells coffee, matcha - they also have delicious pastries at another booth close by). Without knowing all the vendors by name, they sell good-quality avocado oil, nut butters and jams, juicy fruits such as white peaches, grapefruits, oranges, farm-raised zucchini, fresh basil and parsley, and beautiful flower arrangements. There's also live music, which adds such a fun and lively atmosphere while you look around! When you get hungry, they sell very refreshing agua frescas, pupusas, galbi/chicken bowls, chocolate covered strawberries, fruits wrapped in mochi, freshly roasted peanuts, and more!

I go to Farmer's Markets for produce, not the food vendors or other items such as pastries,…read morelotions, etc. For that reason, I am saying this is just an OK Farmer's market in the edge of Costa Mesa bordering Fountain Valley. In years past, this was quite a lively place with several product vendors. In the last coupe of years, it's very tiny. For me, I love plums, peaches, nectarines in the summer. Once in a while, there is a good singer guitar player entertaining the small crowd. It's a decent alternative if you can't go to the Thursday Farmer's Market at the Fairgrounds which is closed during the OC County fair from mid July to mid August. Price for the produce was #3.50 a lb. for the fruits this time but subject to change (increase). I don't remember if it was Organic, but I always soak my purchased fruit in baking soda and water for 30 minutes just in case there are pesticide residues to very dirty hands before I eat it. They also have vegetables, a honey vendor, and some food. Just an OK experience for me. Parking is easy until he surrounding stores open.

Slowly uncovering the Farmers Market scene in Orange County…read more My best friend and I stopped by the SoCo farmers market in Costa Mesa a few weekends back. This FM happens every Saturday from 9am to 2pm. In comparison to other markets in the area, SoCo is on the smaller side. They offer all the major necessities: seasonal fruit, veggies, fresh juices, breads, hummus, and other dips. There's also a variety of local business owners selling handmade items like jewelry, fashion, and pottery pieces. I snagged a variety of beverages from 1987 Juices for a healthy start to my week, as well as strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries from the produce stand. Couldn't think of a better way to spend my Saturday and a haul of goodies always gets me excited for the upcoming week.

It's definitely not the biggest but I think they have just about everything you would look for in a Farmer's Market. Lots of pre-cooked food options available so make sure to come hungry to try them all. The ones that are honorable mentions: the coffee booth that serves unique flavored lattes, the empanadas station (it is so moist and different than I've ever had anywhere else! - would highly recommend!), and the tamale station (most popular station I would say and I know why. The tamales are very flavorful and moist. The hot sauce also compliments it very well. Would highly recommend!) There were other cool spots that I would want to try next time: Cold Noodles, Filipino food, and a Mexican Zamba juice beverage booth and others! I like this farmers market mainly for the chicken eggs (kind reminder to NOT buy white eggs from the lady here. Her white egg yolk is not rich in color or flavor. It's what I would buy non-organic everywhere else. Look at my pic for reference), fresh produce, and berries/fruits! They sell lots of other things like hummus, hot sauce, fun activities, and more! Parking is great and the vendors are all very nice and friendly. Remember to bring bags because you'll probably be buying a lot! I'll be coming back!

I was worried at first as I saw mostly vegetables, which wasn't what I was there for. But when you move to the other side there are a lot of local businesses selling their goods and I ended up buying a few things I never would have anticipated (dips, sauces, etc.). Parking is super convenient (and free, which is interesting with the fair going on parking in the same lot and paying for it). The vibe seems super local. At multiple points people told me the stall I was at was great, had great stuff, etc. And also at multiple points other patrons interacted with the vendors like friends. You can tell that these people go here weekly and support these small businesses/vice-versa, which is really nice to see.

Very affordable and they had probably some of the best prices for some of their produce. The look of the produce definitely didn't have the Sprouts, or commercial grocery look or freshness.

Saw a sign stating it's owned by a family and loved that. Service is straight forward. They had about three registers and had no issues with our shopping.

I wish they had more food to offer Aside from that, I was happy with their choices of vendors and hope they keep letting them attend.
