I first checked out Urban Harvest Farmers Market during a Yelp Elite Perk and I was long overdue. The lady I manage at work has been singing the praises of this farmers market for quite some time so I'm happy I finally took the plunge. I've been twice now. You can check out this farmers market every Saturday from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. Parking is free in the adjacent parking structure.
I feel like everyone, finances allowing, should incorporate more farmers markets into the mix. Sure, it's going to be more expensive than your local grocery store but you're paying for quality, locally grown food which is a plus. And this is a large farmers market so there's plenty for you to check out. They have everything you need: fruit and produce, meat, seafood, snacks, bread, eggs, dessert, sides, plants, and more. It's easy to spend more than you're planning to because there are so many cool things to choose from.
You'll even see some popular spots pop up with tents like Feges BBQ and Juice Girl. If you're hungry, there are three main options to eat there: tacos from El Topo food truck, papusas, and dumplings. To give you a taste of my most recent haul, here's what I went with: wild boar ground meat, two types of honey from two vendors, skirt steak, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, braised chicken and ricotta ravioli, boar ham steak, and artisan cheese.
Urban Harvest Farmers Market is the best farmers market I've ever been to. I'm committed to checking it out once a month or every six weeks!
