Certified Farmers' Market Palm Desert - Outdoor

By: Amy Shimmick (Dec 29, 2010)
The market is located across 111 from the Westfield mall, in the parking lot of Cuistot's Restaurant. It was a bit hard to find since it is not that visible from Hwy 111.

This is a relatively small farmers' market (20 or so vendors), but with a wonderful selection of very local products. There are organic/sustainable fruit, veggie & flower vendors. There are local honeys, olive oils and a big selection of different date varieties. There are also harder to find items like pastured meats, raw gouda cheeses, fresh and artisinal breads--all baked with natural yeasts (levain/sourdough). Like the La Quinta market, there was a chef offering samples of delicious market vegetables he cooked.

If you are following a traditional foods diet (Weston A Price or Makers diet, etc.) you will be well served here.

I am only here as a visitor, but will definitely be back at this market next time I'm in town.
