Irvine Farmers Market

Why I Always Visit Farmers Markets When I Travel

"On Saturday mornings at a farmers market in Irvine, California, shoppers are drawn by the fragrant aroma of fresh basil and the buttery richness of California-grown avocados; regulars pick up crisp heads of butter lettuce while bantering about college football and buy stracciatella cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, with stalls displaying baskets filled with fresh oranges and bushels of mushrooms. The atmosphere blends neighborhood conviviality and casual conversation with a wide selection of seasonal, high-quality produce." - Giovanna Caravetta Giovanna Caravetta Giovanna Caravetta is a travel writer based in Southern California with a passion for embracing la dolce vita.
