San Diego Markets

We say one leafy microgreens salad cancels out 2 small snickers and a handful of candy corn. Do the math at tomorrow’s Little Italy Mercato farmers’ market. and sprouts and edible flowers by @lathhousegardensmicrogreens #farmersmarkets #microgreens #edibleflowers #loyaltolocal #freshtastesbest #keepfarmersfarming

Our markets are cooking up some fun for Halloween this week. Check out our farmers’ and vendors’ creative costumes and seasonal treats like these cool cookies from @ohsolovelydesserts #littleitalymercato #halloweenfun #loyaltolocalsd #farmersmarketsareessential #bakersgonnabake #littleitalysd

When we tasted Maya's Cookies as part of the market application process 5 years ago, we didn't say "these are great, for vegan cookies," as we sometimes do when sampling vegan products. We said, "Damn! These are amazing cookies!" So proud to have our Vendor 101 class and our markets be a little part of this success story. Maya Madsen is one smart, hardworking cookie! Thanks for telling her story, The San Diego Union-Tribune!

All things pumpkin spice and marigold crowns, it’s almost the end of October at the Little Italy farmers’ market. #farmersmarket #pumpkinspice #pumpkins #marigolds #foodmakers #smallfarmers #loyaltolocalsd

We call this one Sunrise on Market Fruit. Talk about a masterpiece: persimmons, sweet grapes and the last of the season’s nectarines from @smitfarms piled high on their table at the Little Italy Mercato today. #persimmons #redflamegrapes #justsqueezed #grapejuice #farmfresh #farmersmarkets #freshtastesbest #keepfarmersfarming #community

Make a fish! The uni is looking mighty spine today and along with the bass the rockfish, well, rocks! Fresh from local fishermen to you at the Little Italy Mercato, today and every Saturday. #loyaltolocal #farmersmarket #smallbusiness #freshtastesbest @littleitalymercato #waterview

Are you outta your gourd? Don’t even think about missing the Battle of the Seasons at today’s Little Italy Farmers’ Market. Heirloom tomatoes and juicy pluots right there next to pumpkins and green beans. What does time mean anyway this year, right? #shoulderseason #pumpkins #farmersmarket #keepfarmersfarming #knowyourfarmerknowyourfood #freshtastesbest #smallfarms #localfood @littleitalymercato

Shoulder season is the best, with tomatoes and eggplant right alongside kabocha squash and tiny Brussels sprouts. Fall for summer fruit and veggies at today’s Little Italy farmers’ market, on West Date Street until 2 pm. #farmersmarketsareessential #freshtastesbest #keepfarmersfarming #eggplant #heirloomtomatoes #littleitalymercato #maskup #shopsafe @littleitalymercato

We see it in their eyes above the masks, but we really miss our farmers’ smiles. #farmersmarketsareessential #keepfarmersfarming #rkfresh #smallfarmers #littleitalymercato

We always forget that summer in San Diego is pretty much August to October. These are perfect salad days and nothing adds a better crunch than a pile of microgreens from @localleaf_sd at the Pacific Beach Tuesday Farmers’ Market. Eat, play, love. #freshtastesbest #microgreens #pacificbeachtuesdaymarket #localbusinesses #smallfarmers #farmersmarketsareessential #discoverpb

Everything you need for guacamole in one sweet @schanerfarmstand basket at the @littleitalymercato Just add chips from @ruthsn5 #guacamoleandchips #avocado #tomatoes #garlic #lime #onions #freshtastesbest #loyaltolocal #summersnacks #farmersmarketfinds

We love how Mia Sorella fills their chimney cakes with local fruit and veggies. Food and beverage needs to be eaten outside the farmers’ market, so why not get your groceries at the Little Italy Mercato and then take a whole box of sweet and savory delights home for breakfast? #chimneycakes #freshfoodmarket #farmersmarket #loyaltolocalsd #sandiegosaturdays #farmersmarketsareessential @littleitalymercato by @hungryinbaja

We kind of choked up seeing Candread and the Sabor Piri Piri Team back ages the Pacific Beach, North Park and Little Italy farmers’ markets after 4 months away. We missed them, and their sweet potato peanut curry, Matapa (collards) and that Nile sauce that sets our mouths on fire. The pandemic isn’t over ‘cause we’re over it, but safely and slowly and surely we’re putting the bags back together again. #marketfamily #farmersmarketsareessential #keepfarmersfarming #makersgonnamake #loyaltolocalsd #farmersmarket #africanfood @pacificbeachmarket @littleitalymercato

Get ready to drink the rainbow at today’s Little Italy Mercato. Polito Family Farm grows it, picks it and juices it just up the road, what could be fresher? #freshtastesbest #loyaltolocal #orangejuice #lemonade #freshsqueezedjuice #citrusfruit #nofilter @littleitalymercato
