Farmers Market at Mt. SAC

My family and I visited here earlier this month on a Saturday morning. There are tents, (so look out for it) it is in the school compound. It was okay. I was expecting more variety of fruits and vegetables. One or two stalls I was not impressed with the fruits the apples were spoiling. Please note if you are on WIC you would not be able to use the cheques for organic vegetables at the stalls. You can use your Wic cheques on those that are not. One particular vendor I spoke to he mentioned, the produce was fresh and pesticides free.

It's good for the most part. The vendors are all really nice and have a lot of great fruits and vegetables, and just different local items that you would just expect from a farmers market that are all really great. It just becomes a nuisance when you can only pay with cash. There are so many things vendors can do to accept payment nowadays; venmo, cash app, square, etc. Cash shouldn't be the only option anymore. It should honestly be illegal knowing how filthy money is in general. It comes in contact with more things that anyone can ever imagine. Contacless payments should definitely be an option. My decisions of where I purchase anything heavily depends on weather they accept it or not. If it's not an option I officially make it a place where I choose not to go anymore. As an alumni for the college, I really feel like this cash only payment process should end.

Small Farmers market. Wish it had more vendors. Open every Saturday rain or shine. Love the flowers and kettle pop corn. Good tamales, too.

Great Farmer's Market with quality produce, plants, breads and numerous miscellaneous items. Not too big, just right size. Ready to eat foods available. Very popular is the chicken place, I think it's called Carbon something or other. They make burritos, breakfast wrap, taquitos and really good lemonade, strawberry lemonade and watermelon drink. Super good food and drinks. Expect to wait in line. 😀
