San Diego's Oldest Certified Farmers Market — Fresh, Local, and Loved Since Day One
PRODUCE-PRIMARY MARKET — certified farmers market, oldest in San Diego per their branding. Primarily produce and prepared foods. Some artisan element per their Instagram ('artisans + more!'). Very popular neighborhood institution.
Hillcrest Farmers Market is San Diego's oldest certified farmers market — a Sunday morning institution that's been feeding the neighborhood since the early days. The full lineup includes certified farmers with peak-season produce, artisan prepared foods, international eats, flowers, and a growing selection of local makers and craftspeople. It draws a lively, walkable crowd of locals who treat market day like a weekly ritual. Arrive hungry, bring a cart, and expect to leave with both groceries and a contact or two.
