State Street Farmers Market
About State Street Farmers Market
We are open every Wednesday starting at 2:30 pm. The State Street Farmers' Market is a fresh-air grocery store focusing on fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, eggs, nuts, and honey. And yes, even fresh flowers and plants. There are plenty of artisan food vendors to round out your shopping experience, including bread, granola, yogurt, bone broth, kombucha, fudge, cookies, etc.
State Street Farmers' Market is proud to keep farmers farming and provide Carlsbad with fresh, high-quality food and products not easily found in traditional grocery stores.
Hours of Operation
From March 13, 2024 to November October 30, 2024 the market will be open from 2:30pm to 7:00pm.
What's New & What is Different?
Our market is focused on certified growers and limited packaged foods to allow you to shop for the highest quality and freshest food possible. Think of this as an open-air grocery store where you can find unique products quickly and efficiently.
