SOCO Farmers' Market — Local services in Costa Mesa

This is a small market. However, I make sure to go every week. One vendor sells the biggest, sweetest strawberries and chips and salsa too. My dog gets amazing fresh food that is cheaper than the cans I buy. There are a couple of guys who sell fantastic micro greens who share great cooking ideas. Every other week a specialty cheese maker comes. We buy soap, flowers, meat, eggs, honey, jambalaya, and hummus. There is even a bakery who has gone put of their way to make a specialty item for me. There is a jeweler, CBD, and a wood maker. Finally, a gentleman spends all day sharpening knives that we bring to him. He is reasonably priced and does a super job. Cannot wait...

Not bad for a surprise farmer's market for me. I wasn't planning on coming here, I just drove by and saw the signs, so I had to check it out. Small but it had the essentials, fruits & veggies, and other foods to choose from. I bought some blueberries, $4 for the box, it's the same rate at other farmers markets it seems. Needless to say they were delicious! About a dozen or so vendors here, all happy and friendly people.

Just so you know, this review is for the one that is held on Sundays, not Tuesday (there wasn't one for Sunday).

I do recommend this place...

Not a lot of good food vendors. Too many Mexican/Latin food vendors (Pupusa, Tamales, Tacos). New modern fusion dumpling vendor, but did not try. $10 for 6 dumplings. Karen's Pupusas is the go to lunch. Used to be $3 each and now $5 each. Tried the tamales once and was horrible. Have not tried the taco joint. Definitely need a burger, BBQ, or gourmet hot dog vendor. Live band is improving....
