Cambria Farmers Market

Small farmer’s market with some very fresh produce (: This would be where I would shop if I lived in the area. My SO and I came here to grab some food/​snacks on our way home from vacation.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SPLIT PEA SOUP STAND!
I’ve never had split pea before, but I feel like I’ll never find any as good as this in my life… I wish I ordered more. They seem to have sold out very fast, so get there early!
I also bought barbeque from Linn’s barbeque. BEST RIBS I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Juicy, fall off the bone, perfection. Highly, highly recommend. Even if you don’t like barbeque that much… give it a try (:
I tried the chipotle ceviche salsa from some salsa stand, and I was contemplating on buying some to take on the road, but that means I would have to buy chips… and it might be a little messy in the car.
The hummus was also great (:
If you’re in Cambria on a Friday afternoon, stop by the farmer’s market!

I couldn’t believe how busy this farmers market was on a Friday afternoon October. The vendors’ stands were filled with gorgeous produce, dried fruit, fresh lemonade, cold pressed juice, Vegan homemade soups, and so many other things. Linns also runs a barbecue stand.

Nothing but farm fresh wholesome goodness. Great place for organic veggies locally grown. The people are so friendly here, I love this place.

Perhaps this was a four star farmers market a few years ago, but this has become a much smaller event over time. The economy isn’t bad so I’m not sure what happened. There are still a few options here to make it worth your while, but don’t go out of your way to make it on a Friday afternoon. The San Luis Obispo Thursday Night Market is where you want to spend your time and money.
Two stars because this was better in the past.

Fantastic farmer’s market. Great selection, and nice crowd and setting.

One of the coolest farmer’s markets I’ve been to. The variety here is great and some of the products are irresistible.
This was my second year visiting for Labor Day weekend and I came in with a strategy that I urged my wife to share: no buying until we’ve made it all the way through so that we don’t spend a small fortune. Well, we made it about 60% of the way.
There are tons and tons of fruits and vegetables and they truly run the gamut, from Korean apples and cherry tomatoes to fresh corn and berry assortments. Add to this a wealth of delicious products like corn chowder, hummus, cookies, salsas and fruit juices and this is close to food heaven. Thus, why carefully planning out purchases is crucial. FYI– you’ll still spend a small fortune, but it’s oh so worth it.
Ah yes, then I must mention the barbecue around the other side. Tri-​tip, which I’ve never had anywhere but California, is tender, flavorful goodness you just have to try. But the chili-​marinated pork (essentially a pulled pork version of our New Mexico carne adovada) and the standard pulled pork are both delectable too.
This place will always be a must stop during my Cambria visits.

Great local Farmer’s Market on Fridays from 2−5pm. Get there early to get parking! Lots of local produce, fresh baked goods, kettle corn, salsas, and Linn’s BBQ dinner to go! If you get the Linn’s BBQ, skip the chicken… the white meat from the breast was dry and overcooked. meh! Stick with the baby back ribs and tri tip.

Great little Farmer’s Market, my parents go every year and they took us this year. They have some really good salsas and hummus, lots of different flavors of both. The produce is obviously awesome. Also, make sure you go to Julia’s Juices at the end!
Overall a good and fun experience!
MY GO-​TO DISH: Tamales and Salsa Borracha

This was a very small farmer’s market but the produce was excellent. Fresh flowers as well…

It’s the busy Friday hub of Cambria. If you want to get a feel of folks of this little town, go shopping here with them. Fun, festive, neighborly chatting going on, recipe exchanges, food preparation ideas, everybody getting easy for the weekend cooking. It’s a lovely, small town atmosphere with the produce the big towns can’t even get. The vendors are friendly and helpful. The produce is tremendously fresh. Beside the tents a pit BBQ goes on weekly with some really good tri tip and chicken. Little Linns pies too. If you miss Cambria farmers market, go Sat morn at Templeton in Paso.

Cute little Farmers Market. We were visiting for a few days and stopped on a whim.
Stop and get tamales from the tamale booth. They were amazing.
