Monterey Peninsula Farmer's Market

The Monterey Peninsula College farmer's market is held every Thursday 2:30pm to 6pm on the school campus parking lot! It is the oldest market on the Monterey Bay founded in 1976!

You'll find a bountiful selection of produce, specialty items and beautiful plants and flowers at this bustling, fast-paced market. I especially attend for two reasons: the gorgeous orchids and to support the local area!

The prices are the best! Usually, I pay from $5 to $7 each! I don't have a green thumb..these orchids last anywhere from 6 weeks to 10 weeks in my home and look fabulous! You will find a variety of colors. I love the exotic ones!

The produce is picture perfect! If you are in Monterey, California on a Thursday afternoon, plan a stroll through the marketplace!
