State Street Farmers Market

About State Street Farmers Market

We are open every Wednesday starting at 2:30 pm. The State Street Farmers' Market is a fresh-air grocery store focusing on fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, eggs, nuts, and honey. And yes, even fresh flowers and plants. There are plenty of artisan food vendors to round out your shopping experience, including bread, granola, yogurt, bone broth, kombucha, fudge, cookies, etc.

State Street Farmers' Market is proud to keep farmers farming and provide Carlsbad with fresh, high-quality food and products not easily found in traditional grocery stores.

Hours of Operation

Starting November 6, 2024 the market will close one hour earlier due to the end of Daylight Savings Time. For four short months, from November 6, 2024 through March 5th, 2025 the farmers market hours will be 2:30pm to 6:00pm.

What's New & What is Different?

Our market is focused on certified growers and limited packaged foods to allow you to shop for the highest quality and freshest food possible. Think of this as an open-air grocery store where you can find unique products quickly and efficiently.
