Farmers’ Markets<br />
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Luis</strong> <strong>Obispo</strong> Farmers’ Market<br />
Plump heirloom tomatoes, bright leafy<br />
greens, strawberries so sweet you can<br />
smell them — if it’s in season, you’ll find it at<br />
one <strong>of</strong> SLO County’s many weekly farmers’<br />
markets, <strong>of</strong>ten with the growers themselves<br />
behind the booth to share their favorite<br />
recipes and cooking tips.<br />
Each market has its own distinct flavor.<br />
Some cater to the serious chef, both home<br />
and pr<strong>of</strong>essional, looking for the freshest<br />
and most distinctive ingredients for the<br />
week’s menus, while others have more <strong>of</strong><br />
a street market flair, selling fresh-picked<br />
flowers and locally produced oils, soaps and<br />
jewelry alongside the fruits and vegetables.<br />
The most well-known is downtown <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Luis</strong> <strong>Obispo</strong>’s Thursday night Farmers’<br />
Market, which transforms Higuera Street<br />
into a bustling pedestrian thoroughfare<br />
lined with booths <strong>of</strong> all stripes. Check<br />
