- Get there early. The early bird gets the worm, as they say. Or in this case, the best selection of produce. Come on, you know the early wake-up call will be worth it.
- BYOB. And by B, I mean bags. Bring your own reusable bags to cut down on waste and show Mother Earth some love.

Cooking and Recipe Ideas
Now that you've loaded up on all that fresh produce, it's time to get cooking. Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- Toss together a big, beautiful salad. Who says salads have to be boring? Add some grilled veggies or a sprinkle of feta cheese to jazz things up.
- Fire up the grill. Grilling is a great way to bring out the natural sweetness in veggies like peppers, corn, and zucchini. Just drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Yum-o!
- Make a smoothie. Don't forget about all the delicious fruits available at the farmers' market. Whip up a refreshing smoothie with your favorite fruits, veggies, and maybe a splash of coconut milk or almond butter.
So there you have it, folks. The scoop on one of the freshest places in San Diego - maybe even the whole country! Now get out there and start shopping like a pro. Your taste buds will thank you.
