Farmers Market at UCI

Does anyone frequent it or been lately? 
There is a farm stand much closer to me but really small.  I'm thinking about going hitting the FM morning but wondering if it will be worth the ~25min drive.

I'm interested in hearing responses  because I didn't even know they had a farmers mkt at UCI. Ooops.

I've never been, but my favorite fish vendor sells there.

This post is totally useless. Yay!

I've been there many times and it's great.  Not huge, but a nice size, and they have my favorite Gouda seller (Winchester) as well as some great jewelry makers that always end up sucking me in.  And TONS of gorgeous orchids.

We go there often.  It's a nice size.  There is a woman that sells the yummiest bread.

Cheese, bread, fish & produce.  Sounds like a great morning

You can get sashimi grade fish there. Good stuff. The actual storefront is off of Commonwealth in Fullerton.

Not that I'll ever go, but when is it held, and where at UCI?

I know you live in HB (or I think you do), you might want to check out the FM in seal beach/long beach.  it's in the parking lot of joe's crab overlooking the marina.

It's in the In-n-Out parking lot, I think.

Irvine Center on the corner of Bridge and Campus (across from UCI)
8 a.m. - Noon (rain or shine)

Thanks!  I see it's on Sunday, perfect.  I'll have to check it out.  Unfortunately, most of OC FMs are during the week when I'm shackled to my desk.

I used to work M-F as well, so sunday was perfect.  it's most of the vendors from the HB FM (friday afternoons), the fish guy is really good.  I forgot to mention it's sunday mornings.

have fun!

we would also go to the farm stand on ellis, just before brookhurst.  have you been there?  I remember it being pretty good for fruit/veggies.

augs06

ssinca, yes.  I haven't been since I walked away disappointed last Spring - I should swing by again. 

I heard the UCI has music, too?  Last time H and I were in SF, we stumbled upon a FM with a jazz band first thing in the morning.  It was the perfect way to start the day.  I was hoping to find something similar...ho mum. lol

Are you talking about 88.9/KUCI? It's a great station, very eclectic since they pride themselves on only playing anything considered out of the mainstream.

I used to go here on a fairly regular basis when I lived in HB and was usually pretty happy with them.
