I just love the San Diego County farmers markets! An added bonus is that in San Diego, you can find organic farmers markets for every day of the week. 🙂 One of my favorite things about San Diego is the healthy and organic atmosphere. If you’re into an all-natural and organic living, you won’t find it difficult to find the right ingredients to fit your needs. One of my favorite things is waking up early on a Saturday morning and strolling through the San Diego farmers markets. No matter which one I go to, I always seem to find something interesting and unique!

 

Whether you’re wanting fresh flowers, organic spinach, or hand-crafted jewelry, it’s easy to #shoplocal with the many organic farmers markets that pop up around San Diego county. If you can’t go one day, don’t worry, I’ve made a San Diego farmers market list for every day of the week!

SATURDAY: Little Italy Mercato Farmers Market

Hours: 8am – 2pm

Location: 519 W Cedar Street San Diego, CA 92101

We are starting the week off with Saturday because in my humble opinion, the Little Italy Mercato Farmers Market is the best farmers market in San Diego! It’s the most popular San Diego farmers market, and my personal favorite. 🙂 The Little Italy farmers market is located in downtown San Diego, so the only issue is you might have trouble finding parking.

 

Every Saturday, year-round, rain or shine, the Little Italy farmers market is open. With over 200 tents and live music on the streets, the vendor options are endless and the atmosphere is vibrant. Here you can find a little bit of everything. Come hungry because this farmers market has the best food!

I love the La Mesa Farmers Market! What’s a better way to end the work week than with an afternoon stroll around organic foods and local vendors? La Mesa Farmers Market is a smaller market, but still great in quality. I loved the Greek olive oil company with fresh olives and feta.

One of the reasons why I love San Diego is because of all of the organic farmers markets! If you could only visit 3 San Diego county farmers markets, then I would recommend your top choices to be the Little Italy Farmers Market, Hillcrest Farmers Market, and Ocean Beach Farmers Market. If you could only visit one, then it needs to be the Little Italy Farmers Market. 🙂 But don’t let my opinion persuade you, check them all out and lemme know which one’s your fav!
