Solvang Farmer’s Market
While walking through the farmers market I was looking for tasty strawberries. I saw 4 vendors with nice looking strawberries. One vendor had strawberries with aroma that wafted into the walkway. I followed the scent and asked where the strawberries were grown.
Farm Stand West
Farm Stand West is a cute spot off the 15 freeway. Not alot of selection for the size of the establishment.
Ocean Beach Farmers Market
Ocean Beach Farmers Market is only a few blocks from the beach and the weather was lovely at the end of summer. I loved the variety of vendors.
Bristol Farms – La Jolla
Bristol Farms was Albertson’s when I moved to the area. They remodeled it and they have an ever changing assortment of exotic food now. It’s an adventure seeing what new items they have.
The Vegetable Shop @ Chino Farm
Mara Des Bois strawberry was developed by a French breeding program. This variety produces small to medium fruit, and contains the highest flavor and fragrance of any everbearer. Berries have an attractive red color with a high gloss. https://www.noursefarms.com/
Williamson Produce Strawberry Stand Manchester Av.
Red. Aroma was sweet and full of promise. A bite into the firm ripe flesh. Juicy. Delicious strawberry flavor. My favorite strawberry in town.
Poway Farmer’s Market
I found this farmer’s market on my way to J’s Smoking Bbq. It’s every Saturday and takes up 2 blocks. I noticed 3 strawberry vendors.
