Scripps Ranch Farmers Market

Worst farmers market experience ever. Never have been, so I decided to give it a try. The main reason I came was the ahi cart, but they weren’t there this particular week. Waited 3O min for a smoothie, and then walked up to the crêpe tent only to find out they had sold out of food. I gave it one star because the information tent folks were very nice and friendly.

Fun little market, nice variety of goodies! Nice selection of farmers as well as food vendors with live music for your shopping/​eating entertainment.

Came here with two other friends right when they started. I find this to be a small farmer’s market. Not bad though. I solely came to try out the San Diego Poke Company because it’s hyped up to be the winner of the San Diego Poke Festival. Honestly, don’t come here to try it. I think you have a better chance at the actual store than making a trip to try it here. I mean don’t get me wrong, they have an area where they set up for you to eat and hang out at his Farmers market. I think the San Diego Poke Company is the most popular tent there they skimp you so hard on the portions for $ 9. I think I’ll pay $ 3 more to get the actual weight of what I’m buying in regards to size. Don’t get the Italian meatballs or try the other ones because the Italian meatball sub tent wasn’t very good. This is only for the ‘naked’ meatballs we got. They had other fusion type of meatballs.

What happened to a farmers markets with produce from local farmers?
I didn’t know farmers produced food trucks…
Overpriced, un-​authentic food and 5 produce vendors, maybe consider calling this something other than a farmers market.

Best Jerk Chicken in San Diego is the Jamaican Jerk Hut! And Columbian Mango & Toston is awesome too!

Starting our first weekend in our new neighborhood at the local farmers market.
The first thing I noticed was the smell of strawberries, The market is cozier than most but the parking is great and each vendor was very friendly and enjoyable.
We came to eat and eat we did:
For brunch we stopped by Arepex Grill, the beef arepas was amazing! That avocado addition made this meal! Next up was Mango Tostón and I didn’t know a plantain would surprise me the way theirs did, we tried one of each flavor and would do it all over again. After that we grabbed an acai smoothies (perfect for this hot day) and some tamales (choose your favorite mix and enjoy).
I know what I’m doing next Saturday!!!
I can’t wait to come back next weekend.

we are usually buying fresh fruits and vegetables there. Good quality and big assortment.

One of the reasons why I drove 15 miles to come here was because of the San Diego Poke Company to get my poke on. Found out they only are vendors here on Saturdays and I knew I had to get my poke fix. Asked a few people to join me, and met up with Bf’s two cousins.
This is probably one of the better farmers markets I’ve been to (a whole lot better than Escondido that I can say…) even though it’s a bit farther than I wished. It’s easy to get dizzy making turns as you walk through the maze so take precaution. Dog friendly as I’ve seen many take their dogs here (and there’s even a booth selling pet treats too).
A lot of vendors allow you to sample their goods like Costco, so it’s definitely a plus. Bring cash for some booths and credit/​debit for a few others. Parking was easy for me as so many people come in and out quickly. There’s the one paved lot and then extra parking in the dirt lot as well. 9am to 1:30pm (although I’ve seen some vendors close up shop around 1pm).

The only reason why I came here was because I heard the poke stand here was really good. PLUS it was my only day off for a Saturday so I HAD to go and check it out.
The farmers market here is pretty small but I like how organized it is. They have like a set walk way to go through the whole thing. It’s pretty cool!
Anyways, we found the poke stand and the workers were really cool and nice! My boyfriend and I got the spicy tuna and the citrus tako (octopus). Both were REALLY good but I liked the spicy tuna THE best! Mmmm melted in my mouth! After awhile my bf and I went back to try their spicy tuna hand roll and that was just as good!
Then we went to the smoothie stand and got a strawberry lemonade. Damn… That drink was waaaayyyyy too sweet for me. Felt like I was drinking syrup! Won’t try that again.
Scripps Ranch Farmers Market was a good experience!

One of my favorite farmers market. Support local farmers and businesses. and yes wish they had more produce. But the local businesses have pretty good products specially the super delicious mango jam which i forgot the name. Will be back at the market to get it again and maybe take a pic! meanwhile enjoy the flowesr pic!

I was a little disappointed with this farmer’s market. It was small and had more food or trinket vendors than veggie vendors. I had a really good shaved ice from Nani’s Buns. I’m thinking they should advertise that they have shaved ice because as I walked around, many people made comments of how good it looked. $ 3.50 for a big cup of shaved ice and condensed milk is a really good price to me! We also tried the beef arepa. It was good but I think $ 8 for one is a bit much, I think $ 5 would’ve been reasonable. I don’t think I’d come back here unless I was on the area already.

Great farmers market. Lots of really great vendors that are super friendly and catty se really taste veggies a a food.
We love coming here when we can. Wish they would have it on Subdays

A farmer’s market every Saturday less than a mile from my home that allows dogs?! YES! Parking is easy, and there are lots of different types of vendors. There’s the farmers:
Eggs
Citrus fruits
Berries
Potatoes
Veggies — including leafy greens
More I can’t think of right now
There’s the already prepared food:
Hummus
Bread
Watkins spices
There’s hot food too — crepes, west African, BBQ, etc. There’s also a nice area where you can sit down to eat. Oh! And coffee!
Flowers! The lady makes these small bouquets for just $ 3.50
Jewelry, clothing, etc
There’s something for everyone here. This is already a Saturday morning routine for me!

I would give a rating of 3.5 if possible. Two short rows of vendors with one being mostly cooked food options. The website claim of 60+ vendors is a little misleading.
Quality of produce and food was pretty good, but definitely not worth the long drive it took to get there. If you’re in the area and looking for some farmers market action, then I’d recommend but otherwise there are other markets to visit.
Ps. Venezuelan arepas were not quite authentic and we did find a fruit label sticker in our smoothie.

On the small side compared to some of the other farmer’s markets in San Diego but it has everything you really need if you want to just get in, get your stuff, and get out. Go to the larger farmer’s markets if you want to browse and make a day of it.
We usually stop in and try at least three different food stands when we come. Stands come and go, so there are new ones from time to time. Trying new types of food is always fun. They have some good bbq, and just recently I had some Venezuelan arepas for the first time. Pretty good.
They have a row of stands where you can get your local farmed organic, etc etc veggies and stands for honey and eggs as well. You’re not coming here to get the cheapest fruits and veggies possible but it’s not astronomically expensive either. Support the farmer’s markets!

tip: only 2 rows of stalls, one row is fruits and veggies while the other is cooked foods. Free samples galore.
Relatively small farmer’s market. Less on the fruits and veggies and heavy on the food stalls. Jerk chicken hut was very good. Both the jerk chicken and the BBQ chicken were very flavorful (though the jerk chicken had less jerk seasoning than I’d imagine). At $ 8 a plate (in fact most if not all combo plates here are $ 8), it’s a bit overpriced but the guy gives you a lot of meat. The plate definitely fills you up with red beans and rice, plantains, and sauteed cabbages. He also offers free samples which is great. The hot sauce on the side is absolutely killer.

What a fun experience this was to come here on my birthday, which also happened to be the day when Santa and Mrs. Claus came by and had their very own photo booth for the kids.
I really enjoyed seeing the variety of items being offered from free massages from a local chiropractor to dim sum to crepes. Originally I had my eyes on one of the breakfast crepes but their line was way too long so I decided to check out the Jamaican booth. I am so glad I did because the food was out-​of-​this-​world delicioso!!! The man was kind enough to let me sample his jerk chicken and BBQ chicken because I couldn’t decide between the two. Let me tell you, the chicken was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor! I went with the jerk chicken combo ($ 8) which came with Jamaican rice, cabbage, and plantains. Every item was delicious and he didn’t skimp on the chicken. I can’t wait to come back just for this. My first time trying Jamaican fare and I am hooked for life. My bf got the Kenyan combo plate ($ 8) which came with grilled chicken, rice, kale, and eggplant. That was also yummy and for $ 8 it was a good deal. We also got to sample their spinach samosa which was good also.
All this flavorful food made us thirsty so my bf ventured over to the Swami booth, which features healthy drinks. Don’t let the word «healthy» pull you away because the apple and strawberry drink we got was super good and was such a steal at $ 2! Much better than soda. I will definitely come back. Especially since I saw a bundle of arugula at just $ 1!

Aside from the one in Little Italy, this is a great Farmers Market. I do miss some of the regular food vendors that would stop by but this place makes a great breakfast spot or a good walk to check out the goods.
The last 2 months I have seen more vendors come out and the food quality is always great. Try the Crepes or the Jamaican Jerk chicken for a real kick!

For a little neighborhood farmers market, this one does exactly what it needs to do.
There are several veggie and fruit vendors with a great variety of good quality produce. There’s the floral vendors for your weekly bouquet. There’s a small selection of food vendors, but the ones that are there are worth it. My favorite is the crêpe stand. The crepes are amazing and stuffed to max with fresh ingredients.
There is usually parking at the school itself, but if you’re in the mood, it’s worth it to park in the lot across the street and take a short walk.

This place is awesome, it’s like a food truck gathering without the actual trucks. Jamaican Jerk Hut and Bibby’s Crepes are the long time staples and my personal faves, but there are a number of other places to try now. There is an Afgan place that has sambosas, soooo good. Next on my list is the omlette vendor and the BBQ vendor.
The unfortunate thing is most of the food vendors don’t last if they don’t have enough business, so make it down there and try them out!
Aside from the wonderful food, they are starting to get a lot of organic fruits and vegetables at reasonable prices. Most of the fruit is also super ripe, ready to eat. Definitely a must-​visit if you live near here.
