Old Monterey Farmers Market
Alvarado Street between Del Monte and Pearl, Monterey
(831) 655-2607, oldmonterey.org
Stroll down ol’ Alvarado on a Tuesday afternoon and peruse the finest produce and merchandise the townsfolk have hunted, gathered and toiled away to create. You can provision for the week to come with fresh, local, seasonal fruits, vegetables, honey, eggs, mushrooms and more. You can also find a hot meal to get you through the night, get beautiful baubles to lift your spirits or collect handcrafted wares to spruce up the homestead. You can also expect to run into old friends and make new ones – beyond the shopping, the social dimension to this year-round market is part of what makes it the best.
