Valley Center Farmers' Market

San Diego County's newest Farmer's Market is also Valley Center's first, ever. Certified by the State of California, what you will find here besides fresh, healthy food, arts and crafts and live music, are many of your friends, family and neighors. This market was an instant success.

State certification means that the produce is being sold by the grower, is grown in California and meets all California quality standards, thereby ensuring that you will recieve the freshest produce at the best price. Maybe you are considering becoming a certified producer. Please visit the San Diego County Farm Bureau for more information. Or, you may visit the California Department of Food and Agruculture to download an application.

Here are some really good reasons to support the Farmer's Market. Food is fresher because it's picked and eaten at the height of freshness. You support the American tradition of self-sufficiency and when you spend your money with local farmers, they spend it with local merchants, and the money benefits our community. Food travels thousands of miles on average, so energy consumption is greatly reduced when you buy from your neighbor. And last, but not least, it's a great way to spend time with your friends and family getting to know your neighbor and making new friends.

The Farmer's Market is located between the upper and lower elementary school parking lots at 28751 Cole Grade Road. Map Held each Thursday afternoon between 3pm and sunset you may visit the Valley Center Farmers' Market website for more information. Stay healthy, have fun and enjoy!
