Santa Cruz County boasts some pretty spectacular farmer’s markets and the mountain town of Scotts Valley is no exception. Offering an abundant mix of fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, pasture-raised meats, artisan breads, and more, the market is a great way to support local farms and enjoy the healthiest and tastiest foods around.

Enjoy delicious made-to-order gourmet foods at the market’s rotating “farm-to-condiment” station. It’s the perfect Saturday morning spot for a unique al fresco meal like this fried egg, smoked pork, arugula breakfast sandwich from Gordo Gustavos.

Going beyond the delicious foods available, the farm-fresh flowers are always a memorable takeaway.
