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.

There is a good selection of produce and hot food.

I tried an apple turnover from Chaupain Artisan French Bakery.

Crunchy outside and soft buttery inside.

Sweet apple filling.  Pretty good apple turnover.  Would be a very good apple turnover with more apple filling and less sugar in the filling.

Almond croissant from Chaupain had soft delicate layers.  Nice mix of buttery and almond flavor.  What was missing was the crunchy outer layer.

 

Partially my fault as I didn’t eat it till 1:30pm and the croissant was likely baked early in the morning.  Better than your grocery store croissant but not as good as Bread & Cie.

 

I also tried the strawberries from a Yasukochi Family Farms.   I buy from them at Hillcrest Farmers Market too.  Strawberries are grown in Oceanside.   They were ripe, juicy, and full of sweet strawberry flavor.  $12 for 3 baskets.

Broccoli was freshly cut and full of broccoli flavor.

There are 2 succulent vendors with excellent prices.

$2 each or 3 for $5.

I love shopping at Farmers Markets for the fresh produce that is usually picked earlier that day.

 

For fruit like strawberries that are ripened on the vine and picked same day the flavor is amazing.  One advantage to this market versus a huge one like Hillcrest is you can find parking within a block of the market.

 

Local egg farm.
Lots of oranges.
