Loma Linda Tuesday Night Farmer’s Market

Only been a few times but when I have it’s a good time! Fresh produce and juicy fruits! Good prices and very friendly people who know a lot about what they are growing or making. They go above and beyond to give you the most information.

It’s a great small market, great timing, and a great option to grab some hot food after work or class. The fresh produce has been great lately as well. It’s been fun getting know the farmers. The vegan and vegetarian food options are also delicious. I do wish we had more hot food vendors though, so knocking it down a star for that. I hope to see this market grow, just not too much :) it’s cozy enough.

There were ten booths at the market today. Parking was easy (parallel parking down the street). The selection was less than fabulous though. I wanted to purchase fresh vegetables, but nobody was selling any. Only one vendor had fresh fruit (avocadoes and oranges).
I did purchase fresh-​made «Mom’s» hummus and local honey, so the trek wasn’t a total loss. Perhaps with more vendors, this market would be better. I like that it’s scheduled on Tuesdays.

It’s OK, as farmers markets go. On the small side, and only four of maybe 20 booths actually sell produce, which is priced on the high side. But it makes for a nice, quick stop on a Tuesday night. Far better than San Bernardino’s Tuesday market. Quaint and easily walkable compared to the much larger Thursday one in Redlands. Nice food area with Mexican, Salvadoran, and tamale booths. Etsy-​type crafts at some booths. Plenty of organic/​gluten-​free/​vegetarian/​special diet options both in hot food and baked goods. In fact, it’s a bit of a hipster’s paradise, bike hospital included. The layout and parking are a little confusing, but the lack of crowds, free samples of everything, and friendly vendors make up for that.
