Best Farmers Market
What is the best farmers market that you have ever visited?
Location always has lots to do with it, but it may have been the vendor variety. It may also have been the right time of year when they had your favorite fruit or vegetable.
The absolute best farmers market in San Diego County (in our opinion) is the Little Italy Mercato. The location, variety of vendors and attendees is by far our favorite. Of course, it doesn`t hurt that you can visit some unique `mom and pop` stores and restaurants in the neighborhood before or after the mercato. It also, doesn`t hurt that you have a great view of San Diego Bay from nearly every part of the mercato. Picking a favorite is not an easy task in San Diego. There are many very good markets in San Diego County and each has it`s better points. We have enjoyed farmers markets throughout San Diego and even in other parts of the United States, Canada, Italy, Spain and even Central and South America. A farmers market is one of the best ways to experience a city and learn what the local farms have to offer. If you go often enough you will come across food that you may never have heard of before. This blog is the start of a quest to promote farmers markets and the farmers that produce some of the best local foods. These markets have created a trend that takes us back to the way people have been purchasing their food since ancient times. We support farmers markets, do you?
