Fill your arms with flowers and your belly with on-site prepared foods, like tamales or breakfast burritos, while strolling through any of the markets listed below.
Talk with local farmers and artisans about their products and ask for recommendations. You may want to try a new type of mushroom or tomato variety, a dip with a unique flavor blend or a local cheese. Check the websites for specific vendor lists and the unique offerings at each market.
