Spring marks the return of our two seasonal farmers markets in Monterey County, offering the freshest local produce, specialty items, and a relaxed shopping experience in beautiful settings.
✨Carmel Farmers Market at The Barnyard✨
Opening Tuesday, May 6, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Carmel Farmers Market at The Barnyard Shopping Village is a charming weekday market with a leisurely pace and a spectacular array of California-grown fruits, vegetables, and artisanal products. This seasonal market runs through the end of September—perfectly timed for the height of summer’s bounty.
