Farmers Markets Chula Vista, CA
These are some of my favorites local farmers markets in Chula Vista (and one a little north of Chula Vista).
The Farmers Market in downtown Chula Vista is one of the best in the area. From fresh flowers to homemade tamales, this market has some great finds! Every Sunday from 10-2.
San Diego Markets
This farmers market has some great food vendors! Every Tuesday from 4-8, this farmers market runs right down the center of an outdoor mall.
Otay Ranch Town Center Farmers Market
Little Italy is north of Chula Vista but it is one of the best farmers markets in San Diego county. This one is definitely worth checking out!
