Best Farmer’s Market I’ve been to. Unusual produce, all kinds of sprouts and mushrooms and some Veganic produce not only organically grown. Beautiful plants and flowers. Music, crafts, bakery and some hot food, too.

I love all the farmers markets in Santa Cruz County, but this one is my favorite. I used to live in Aptos, and I studied at Cabrillo, so I have a soft spot for this one. So many great farmers. We come here every fall for a box of persimmons when they are in season. There are also wonderful vendors.
