Awesome selection, best produce, very clean, well
maintained, interesting vendors and good selection of
instructions from local cooks & chefs.
Year round: sun, rain, or coastal fog. Best berries, greens, winter & summer produce, plus eggs, grass fed beef & pork, pasta and a wacky accordionist to astonish & entertain. These farmers are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Three cheers for Aptos Farmers Market.
Excellent Farmer's market - well run and organized with innovative attractions and top notch fruits, vegetables, snacks, flowers, plants, and the entertaining Farmers market band!
