Old Monterey Marketplace & Farmers Market

Cute and quaint farmers market in the middle of downtown Monterey. There are so many different vendors with fresh produce, ready to eat food, and so much more. You can’t come here without getting an elote in cup and baked potato, two essentials. The fresh flowers are also a must buy whenever I’m there. It is the perfect way to spend a Tuesday evening in Monterey.

Fabulous Farmers market. More like a fun foodie afternoon. Lots of fresh veggies and fruit along with amazing meals and desserts. Sprinkle in a few craft vendors and it's a recipe for a nice stroll.

2 hours of the best time you can spend in Monterey California

A nice place to go to each Tuesdays!! But beware of the weather, there might be less traders if it's raining.

Hands down one of the best and biggest farmer's markets I've ever been to! Tons of delicious local produce, homemade items, and even street musicians. A lovely way to spend the evening!

The market was fantastic. There are several food trucks, lots and lots of samples, and very pleasant vendors. It wasn't terribly large. But it doesn't need to be I don't think. Definitely recommend checking it out if you've got some spare time.

I loved it, bought some amazing coffee from Jacob's Bear Coffee, local roaster. I was also able to buy some green onions that are so firm and crisp. There is 2 agua fresca stands and both have amazing product and service. There is a plant stand right by the firetruck next to the knife stand, this couple are amazing, their plants are just beyond gorgeous and their prices are unbeatable. I love the Monterey Farmers market.

We went too early, right at 4pm. Or still too early in the season. I've been there before and there were craft vendors and a local bakery. I did find plenty of fresh produce. I went there because Roti Roli is there but they did not have pork shanks that night.
