Searching for the perfect Farmers' Market

Issue date: 11/10/09 Section: Features
Everything from gourmet tamales, gourmet desserts, Jamaican food, Thai cooking and so much more is available to you. Almost all of them provide a small sample for curious food aficionados.
The Otay Ranch market also boasts vendors for handmade jewelry, hand made bags, baby clothes, etc. There is even a booth that is a "pet parlor and snack shop" for dogs, according to the seller's banner.
However, the most interesting aspect of this particular market happens to be the three llamas that are kept next to an Astro Jump.
A nice mixture of fresh produce, prepared food and crafts vendors can be found in markets such as the one in downtown Chula Vista, open every Thursday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
They have some gourmet olive oils and cheeses for the at-home chef to try, and some delectable carne asada, crepes, tamales and a large assortment of hot foods that are ready to eat.
However, one thing is for certain when visiting any farmers' market, make sure to bring extra money. With the plethora of services, foods and crafts to purchase, this is definitely a place where you arrive hoping to buy one thing and leave having bought everything but.
So, on second thought, unless Charlie Brown finds a job... he should probably stick to his pumpkin patch.

I think it is great that the farmers markets are held within the communities, so that there is no need of having to drive anywhere farther than 15 minutes away from your home. (Continued…)
