In Anaheim and beyond, there’s an OC farmers market nearly every day of the week. Where you can savor the bounty of small farms and indie artisans harvested and crafted with care, while supporting our local communities. Here are some of SoCal’s favorites, whether you’d like to make a quick cameo or spend the day perusing.
