Farmers Markets near San Juan Capistrano, CA

San Juan Capistrano

Located at Yorba Street and Camino Capistrano, between Camino Capistrano and El Camino Real, this certified market runs seasonally from spring through fall. Vendors sell the standard certified-market lineup — organic produce, baked goods, cheese, eggs, seafood, and cut flowers — with credit cards accepted at most stalls. Weekly hours vary enough by source that it's worth calling ahead before a special trip.

San Clemente

Sunday mornings, 9am to 1pm, year-round, rain or shine — this certified market spreads across several blocks of Avenida Del Mar between Ola Vista and Calle Seville. It's agriculture-and-food only; craft vendors aren't permitted, which keeps the stalls focused on produce, fresh fish, bread, tamales, and flowers. It's one of the more consistently reviewed certified markets in South Orange County.

Laguna Hills

A year-round certified market held every Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Laguna Hills Mall parking lot near Macy's, across from Saddleback Memorial. Vendors sell California-grown fruit, vegetables, and artisanal goods to south Orange County shoppers.

Laguna Beach

Every Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon, in the Lumberyard parking lot on Forest Avenue next to City Hall. More than 40 certified vendors sell fruit, nuts, vegetables, bread, and flowers, all inspected by the county agricultural commissioner as required for certified-market status.

Irvine

The Saturday Farmers Market in Irvine is one of eleven Orange County farmers markets run by the Orange County Farm Bureau, which has served the county's farmers since 1917. OCFB markets — consistently voted Best of OC — connect shoppers directly with local growers, backed by the bureau's mission of advocacy, agricultural education, and community connection.

Irvine

Set up in front of the Medical Office Building on the Kaiser Permanente Irvine campus, this certified market runs every Wednesday, 9am to 2pm, year-round.

The Orange County Great Park Farmers Market takes place at Irvine's Great Park, part of the city's nationally ranked parks system. Shoppers browse certified local growers and food vendors in one of Orange County's signature public spaces.

Tustin

A Wednesday certified farmers market in Old Town Tustin, set up at El Camino Real and Third Street — not to be confused with the city's monthly Sunset Market evening event held on the same corner. Vendors run the standard certified lineup of produce and crafts in the historic district's walkable core.

Costa Mesa

This market operates on the grounds of the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, the same fairgrounds that hosts the Orange County Fair each summer. It shares parking lots with the fairgrounds' year-round event calendar rather than sitting on a dedicated downtown street.

Newport Beach

Newport Beach

Newport Beach Farmers' Market sets up at Lido Marina Village on Via Oporto, the waterfront shopping district along Newport Harbor. It's a boutique coastal market serving one of Orange County's more upscale shopping and dining destinations.

Santa Ana

A weekly farmers market set up along the Spurgeon Promenade in downtown Santa Ana, Orange County's county seat, with vendor stalls lining the pedestrian walkway off North Spurgeon Street.

Orange

Fountain Valley

Market in the Park is held at the Fountain Valley Recreation Center on Brookhurst Street in Orange County. The setting inside the recreation center grounds makes it a family-oriented weekly stop for Fountain Valley residents.

Corona

Corona's certified market sets up on North Main Street, inside the city's historic Grand Boulevard traffic circle — the same 3-mile loop that hosted international auto races in 1913, 1914, and 1916. Corona was once known as the Lemon Capital of the World, and Riverside County's citrus history still shapes the area.

Huntington Beach

Every Friday, from noon until dusk, vendors line Pier Plaza at Pacific Coast Highway for this year-round certified market. California growers bring seasonal produce, and stalls round out with nuts, breads, honey, flowers, pastries, and caramel corn. The oceanfront setting makes it as much a stroll as a shopping trip, drawing surfers, tourists, and downtown Huntington Beach regulars alike.

Anaheim

The Kaiser Permanente farmers market at the Anaheim Medical Center runs every Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 3440 East La Palma Avenue. It's a Southland Farmers' Market Association market, managed on-site by Gina and Chit Bauzon, geared toward hospital staff, patients, and neighbors picking up fresh produce on their way in or out of appointments.

Garden Grove

Set up at Main Street and Garden Grove Boulevard, this certified market brings produce vendors to central Garden Grove under the same Local Harvest Farmers Markets banner that runs the Wilmington market in the Harbor Area.

Branded the Sunset Market, this one runs Thursdays, 5 to 9pm, year-round, spanning five blocks of downtown Oceanside near the pier at Coast Highway and Pier View Way. It's been running since 2007 and has grown into one of the larger evening markets in San Diego County — up to 240 food and retail booths, live entertainment, and a dedicated kids' zone. Free parking is available at the Civic Center structure a few blocks over.

A farm listing in Fallbrook, California, in San Diego County's avocado and citrus growing region. No verified details on this specific farm's crops, hours, or sales format turned up in current research.

Canyon Lake

Canyon Lake Certified Farmers' Market has run every Sunday for more than 17 years at Canyon Lake Towne Center, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., rain or shine. It's a certified market, meaning the growers selling produce actually grew it themselves rather than reselling from a wholesaler. Vendors also bring fresh groceries, prepared goods, and specialty items like mushrooms.

Farmers Park is a market on South Anaheim Boulevard in downtown Anaheim, Orange County — a city founded by German immigrant vintners in 1857, before citrus, and later Disneyland, reshaped it.

Anaheim

Downtown Anaheim's certified market runs every Thursday on the Center Street Promenade, organized by the Downtown Anaheim Association. It mixes produce stalls with prepared food — tacos, tamales, empanadas — alongside handmade jewelry, home goods, and skincare vendors. The market accepts EBT and Market Match, and two hours of parking validate free in Structures 3 through 5.

Downtown Anaheim's certified farmers market sets up on the Center Street Promenade every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Downtown Anaheim Association runs it alongside neighboring anchors like Anaheim Ice and the MUZEO museum, making it part of a walkable strip of shops and restaurants rather than a stand-alone parking-lot market. Vendor applications go through the Association's office, open weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Riverside

This certified market runs Fridays, 10am to 2pm, year-round, on the grounds of Kaiser Permanente's Riverside Medical Center at 10800 Magnolia Avenue.

Riverside

Sunday market in the parking lot near Barnes & Noble at the Galleria at Tyler mall in Riverside, roughly 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., run by Coastal Pacific Markets. Certified growers sell fruit, vegetables, and prepared foods alongside local crafts, with mall parking making it an easier stop than a squeezed-in downtown market.

Carlsbad

Downtown Carlsbad closes off State Street every Wednesday for this market, run by the Carlsbad Village Association out of its office a block away at 2695 State Street. It's a walkable, village-scale market between Carlsbad Village Drive and Grand Avenue, the kind you can hit on a lunch break or a stroll from the beach.

Carlsbad Village Farmers' Market runs twice a week year-round, Wednesdays 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the public lot on Roosevelt Street. It's a full-spectrum certified market: produce, cheese, meat, seafood, cut flowers, jam, honey, and prepared foods, plus soap and crafts from local makers. WIC and card payments are accepted.

Fullerton

Downtown Fullerton's Thursday evening market runs 4 to 8:30 p.m., April through September, at 125 E. Wilshire Ave. It mixes farm stands with food trucks, a beer garden, live local bands, and a splash fountain for kids — closer to a weekly street festival than a quiet produce run. Organized through the City of Fullerton and the downtown business district.

Anaheim

A farmers market on West Orange Avenue on Anaheim's west side, serving Orange County shoppers outside the Disneyland resort corridor.

The Bonsall Certified Farmer's Market and Open Air Fair sets up every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bonsall Elementary School. The Bonsall Education Foundation runs it as a fundraiser for the Bonsall Union School District, so vendor fees circle back to local classrooms. Stalls carry fresh vegetables, fruit, seafood, meat, nuts, honey, cheese, cut flowers, herbs, plants, and soap, alongside baked goods, prepared foods, and handmade crafts.

Temecula

Promenade Certified Farmers' Market sets up on Winchester Road at the Promenade Temecula shopping mall, in a Riverside County city better known for the wineries of Temecula Valley a few miles south. Vendor list, market day, and hours aren't confirmed online.
