This one is no different. With COVID, they extended the market to a full 4 blocks. Flowers, breads, strawberry ice cream from the farm, and tons of berries and apples to choose from make it a nice Tuesday evenIng spot to stop at. Plus, you can dine on State after or grab a drink in the bars. My favs are tutti fruitti farms, relaxing to the outdoor musicians and plain out people watching. Be sure to by some fresh local flowers for your loved ones to take home with you!

State Street is completely blocked off from about Ortega to Gutierrez.

Market is very long and just on one side of the street as street is quite narrow. There are lots of vendors selling fruits, herbs, vegetables, eggs, flowers.

We loved it! And we saw some cute dogs. :)

I was fortunate enough to walk by Plow to Porch Organics during a tasting event during my vacation…read morein Santa Barbara. It was an unexpected treat! The owners and staff were amazing people. They invited us to come in and taste two salads from a cook book signing event. Both delicious salads were organic with apples, kale and other local produce. I am certain that this is the most healthy thing that I ate in this town. Their timing was just perfect too, we had just walked down to some local happy hours and were searching for something healthy to eat. Plow to Porch has a great store with a great variety of organic food for retail sale, but their main business is produce boxes. Farmers sell their very best peak season goods to the loyal customers who commit to a box subscription. Both parties win, customers get to experience a nice variety of local crops without the hassle of shopping. Farmers win because it reduces the day to day drama of selling the produce.

I love Sweet Wheels Farm Stand in Summerland. They have been my go to stop every time I'm in town…read moreand I love that they've now found their outdoor storefront to be nestled appropriately between two businesses. They are a cute / covered awning outdoor market - aka food stand. Currently they are open 7 days a week so you have the opportunity to shop their home made bakery good, produce and canned goods. They also have flowers which you can buy by the stem to make your own personal arrangements. Sweet Wheel Farm itself is closed to the public so this is the best way to support them and to get their local goods. You can check out their website for more information about their farming and how they give back to the community. They are simply amazing and after talking to the owner Leslie upon one of my quick shopping trips to her market I felt so empowered by the great work her and her team are doing, also grateful as I learned so many fabulous tidbits from her. Back to the farm stand. I adore them and their selection. They always have the most gorgeous veggies and fruits. What I will admit though is I'm a sucker for their bakery goods and fresh baked breads. Every time I come I have to buy a huge loaf of their olive bread - transports me to Italy or Spain everytime I eat it. Definitely my favorite item them sell here. Recently though I tried their apple muffins and brown butter chocolate chip cookies. Both were great but the cookies were fabulous! I need to leave with more next time because they were devoured by the family within hours. When in Summerland you must support this local farm stand and take some time to learn more about their farming and the amazing work they are doing for our community and food sensitive population. 5/5 stars all day long and I'll be back soon. Promise!

Taking Covid-19 very seriously, I've been isolating for most of the year and only getting groceries by delivery or from friends willing to pick things up while they shop. A few weeks ago, I started receiving once-weekly deliveries from the Farmstand. Wednesdays during Farmstand hours, I get a bag full of goodies and so far, so great. I love knowing that my seasonal produce is grown locally and organically. All of the items have been fresh and delicious, from a punnet of the sweetest, most sun-kissed yellow cherry tomatoes to heads of lettuce, zucchini and squash, and bunches of rainbow chard (so good sautéed with garlic!) I don't choose what's in my produce bags, but I've been very satisfied with the diverse selections. The assortment is $20 each and seems to be curated differently by the week. There's more info about the Farmstand, Covid-safe shopping, and pickup and delivery on the website. Thanks Farmstand, for keeping me cooking with tasty, newly-harvested local fruits and veggies during the pandemic.

* A lovely oasis! *…read more I first heard of this place in a documentary that I saw in Vancouver a while back. When I saw the film I knew I wanted to see the farm itself. This farm has been around since 1895, and claims to be the oldest organic farm in Southern California. It clearly is the last bit of farming left in an area that has become incredibly suburban. What an oasis! On their little parcel of land (about 12 acres) the have an incredible variety of fruits and vegetables - at least a hundred or so - including some rather unique heirloom varieties. There is a decent sized produce stand with a beautiful selection of organic fruits and veggies, and some very friendly helpful staff behind the counter to answer any questions about the products or the farm itself. If you wander past the stand onto the actual farm you can take a free self-guided tour that is really nicely set up. We wandered through the fields and found little signs every now and then telling you something interesting about organic produce, what you were looking at, or my favourite which described the difference between free range chickens and other kinds. (Those chickens running around providing natural fertilizer were fun to watch as well - they travel in packs!) This spot really makes for a wonderful afternoon of wandering around and getting back to the earth. And the carrots we got were the sweetest carrots I have had in a long LONG time! Delicious!
