Farm fresh produce
Poway Farmer’s Market
I found this farmer’s market on my way to J’s Smoking Bbq. It’s every Saturday and takes up 2 blocks. I noticed 3 strawberry vendors.
Solvang Farmers Market
I love visiting Farmers Markets. My neighborhood had a nice farmers market but they kept losing their location and eventually closed. Lately I’ve been visiting the Hillcrest Farmer’s Market. While visiting Solvang I was excited to see the Solvang Farmers Market.

Hillcrest has a really big Farmers Market with a good variety of vendors over 2 large blocks so I thought […]
Bi-Rite Market – 18th Street
One of the first grocery stores I shopped at was just a bit bigger than Bi-Rite. At the time I was just interested in getting 7Up and Hires Root Beer. Bi-Rite is more for gourmet cooks while that old grocery store was more for necessities and alcohol.
