Canyon Lake Certified Farmers Market — Attraction in Canyon Lake

5 vendors selling produce and 35 vendors selling crafts is NOT a real farmers market. The produce WAS high quality and reasonably priced, but lacked diversity. To my mind, a farmer's market is about LOTS OF great fresh in-season PRODUCE.

I complained to the market manager about the lack of farmers at this market. Her response was that they don't allow vendors selling duplicate items. Duh?

All of the markets I've shopped at in northern California had the same in-season produce offered by multiple farmers, PLUS lots of ethnic fruits and veggies you don't find at a supermarket. You could select organic, conventional, top quality or lower priced "seconds". For people like me who are on a limited budget, I LOVED the seconds. It was a great way to eat delicious healthy foods without spending too much.

Diversity and abundant selection is what made shopping at the northern CA farmers markets great, AND it's what made me want to return to the market regularly. I sincerely hope market managers in this area will rethink their attitude about duplication and diversity so farmers markets here are about produce, not crafts. Produce is what attracts customers to a farmers...
