From Farm to Market: Celebrating National Farmers Day

This past weekend, we celebrated National Farmers Day, a day to recognize the incredible people who make fresh, local food possible. Every Wednesday on State Street, our market comes to life because of the farmers, growers, and makers who pour their heart and hard work into everything they bring.

From sunrise harvests to afternoons at the market, these farmers are dedicated to feeding our community with the best local produce, honey, flowers and more. Their passion for what they do is what makes the Carlsbad Farmers Market so special. We wouldn’t be who we are without them.
