Dana Point Farmers Market is such a gem and honestly one of my favorite ways to spend a morning or…read moreearly afternoon This market has such a great atmosphere. The food is amazing, the coffee is on point, and the flowers are absolutely beautiful. Every time I go, it feels like there's something new to discover. It really seems like the market is growing all the time, with new vendors popping up weekly, which keeps it exciting and fresh One of the standout things for me is the pastries... they are to die for Seriously, if you go, do yourself a favor and grab some. Everything feels fresh, handmade, and worth indulging in. Between the baked goods, local food, and quality coffee, it's easy to make a whole experience out of it. What I really love is the overall vibe. It has that perfect mix of community, charm, and relaxed coastal energy that makes Dana Point special You can walk around with a coffee in hand, check out the vendors, grab amazing food, pick up fresh flowers, and just enjoy the whole atmosphere. Definitely worth the time, worth the money, and absolutely worth going for the experience alone. If you haven't been yet, go check it out. It's one of those places that makes you want to come back again and again

Went down here on a Wednesday for the first time. Held in the parking lot at the harbor, there are…read morea lot of vendors, though not a lot in the way of produce, just a few in that department. Vibe is very relaxed and mellow. Great variety of small producers making different tasty foods, from chocolate covered figs to tamales, to flavored salts, to hummus and other dips, gourmet French products (you can find Bourdier butter here, if you know what I'm talking about!), to delicious sourdough. I thought it was a little disappointing there weren't more members from the community out here supporting the producers, it was really quiet and everyone was eager to have you sample their stuff and chat you up. It's not cheap but this is Dana Point. But it's great if you're looking for some really tasty foods, this is an event worth supporting, and coming back to again, and again, and again...

There's new vendors that weren't here a couple weeks ago, and they're still mixing things up a bit, but so far the veggies, fruit, and bread I've gotten here so far have all been excellent.

Go support these folks and help this little market grow and stay in your community!

We came to The Ecology Center for a work retreat -- just a quiet day off campus to reconnect,…read morereset, and be inspired -- and it ended up being one of the most memorable and grounding experiences we've had as a team. We started the morning at their fresh juice window, and let me tell you: the beet-watermelon juice was incredible. Bright, refreshing, and served in reusable jars, which I absolutely loved. Sustainability isn't just a concept here; you see it in every detail. Next, we had a meditation session inside the dome, which was such a peaceful and centering moment. After that, we walked through the orchards, wandered the land, and just took in the beauty of everything this place cultivates. Lunch was where The Ecology Center truly shined. I'm a person from San Francisco, and I do not say this lightly: this was some of the best sourdough I've ever had. Perfectly chewy, soft, flavorful -- absolutely the real deal. They served it as avocado toast and also topped with fresh eggs, and both versions were phenomenal. The entire farm-to-table menu was next-level. The salads were crisp and thoughtful, every ingredient tasted like it had been picked that morning, and the flavors were paired with such care. The sourdough tarts we had for dessert were out of this world -- bright, tangy, and beautifully balanced. We even got to meet the chef, who was warm, talented, and clearly passionate about what she creates. You can taste that love in every bite. This was an epic meal and an unforgettable experience. If you want to truly taste what food is supposed to taste like -- fresh, intentional, and deeply connected to the land -- The Ecology Center should be at the top of your list.

Where has this place been my whole life? Stepping into the commune that is The Ecology Center is so…read moreincredible - it's a whole world here. The energy is spectacular. they have Friday night farm-to-table dinners, outdoor performances and live music, yoga and meditation in the dome, a market with all their produce and made on-site hot sauces and fermented items, and the star of the show: a regenerative organic farm (the only one in SoCal, might I add!) I came here for the strawberry picking experience and loved every second of it. Two minutes in, I was having so much fun! This space draws me close to what I want to be doing in this life. I'll absolutely be volunteering here and seeing what else will be added to such a beautiful place! I highly recommend the Ecology Center.

Their chicken salad delivered with tons of protein and crisp lettuce. Every bite had a crunch and taste of chicken. The vinaigrette will bright and light. My husband got the Tagliata toast which had a nice steak portion. The goat cheese and onions balance out perfectly. We add a side of berries to make a sort of "winter salad" which was a nice add to the toast. They have tons of wine options and I typically just order the house white for a nice bottle. Very Parisian and love the options to buy bottles of wine, pasta or other tasty treats. Highly recommend!

The main attraction are blueberries and mulberries and you could find blackberries raspberries tangerines avocados also. There's a small parking lot at the end of the driveway, but it was full so we parked down the hill and walked about five minutes. There was a line to pay and we got four cartons and we filled two with blueberries and two with mulberries. The mulberries are in the front on a slope and the low hanging fruit gets taken first, so I had to reach further up and pull branches down to get my share. My wife filled two cartons with blueberries. All the fruit was very good and delicious. There were lots of people there having a good time I think we'll be back soon later in the season.

The Crepes were made from scratch and served with Chantilly Creme. I tried the crepes filled banana, strawberry, and Nutella. The fruit was fresh as was the creme. The crepe was light and HUGE.
