Fresh & Local: South San Diego’s Farmers Markets
Living at Epoca in Otay Mesa puts you near some of South San Diego’s best farmers markets, where locally grown and organic fruits, vegetables and artisanal goods are abundant. Visit the Imperial Beach Farmers Market on Fridays for seasonal produce, or explore the vibrant Chula Vista Farmers Market to stock up on fresh greens, avocados, citrus and more. Supporting local farmers not only provides better-tasting ingredients but also supports the community and reduces your carbon footprint.
The Benefits of Fresh Coastal Seafood
Living near the coast means having access to fresh, sustainable seafood—packed with nutrients and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Local fish markets in San Diego offer an array of options like salmon, yellowtail, shrimp and halibut, perfect for creating light, flavorful dishes at home. Pair your farmers market finds with seafood for easy, nutritious meals. Try recipes like Grilled Lemon Garlic Salmon or a refreshing Ceviche with Fresh Citrus, which highlight the coastal flavors of the region.
