Your September Farmers Market Guide + Our Live Oak Pop-Up

Summer is winding down, but our local markets are still overflowing with vibrant, flavorful produce. In Santa Cruz right now, summer’s richness meets early fall favorites; think juicy figs, plums, berries, corn, peppers, eggplant, and colorful stone fruits.

Here’s what you’ll spot at the market this week:

• Fruit picks: Figs, plums, apples, grapes, and pears are in their prime. They’re perfect for snacking, baking, or even layering into your matcha lattes.
• Veggie gems: Corn, eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, and cucumbers are still going strong—great for tossing into summer salads or roasting for cozy dinners.

Back-to-School Tip:

Let the season guide your lunchbox creativity! Try fig and apple slices with cinnamon, roasted veggie “bento boxes,” or a quick grape-and-cheddar snack that’s easy to pack and totally irresistible.
