It’s time for students to ditch the books and head down to the San Marcos Farmer’s Market, located in parking lot B.

People from all over North County joined in on the festivities of our local farmer’s market. They had food booths galore: bread and cheese, desserts, sandwiches, hot dogs and hamburgers and lots of fruits and vegetables.

Participants of the farmer’s market strolled down the rows of tents, shopped and found different goods. The market isn’t only about food, it’s also about the community and atmosphere. Lorrie Scott manager of the San Marcos Farmer’s Market wanted to incorporate more of the CSUSM student life to add to the excitement of the market.

“We would love to have student groups, anything that would bring more community…different groups, different sports groups, etc.,” Scott said.

She invites performing arts students to perform for the customers to enjoy while they walk around the market. This would add to market festivities.

Scott would like entrepreneur students to come set up their own booths. The market could serve as a venue for students to try out business ventures in a relaxed atmosphere. The market gets a lot of traffic.

Students receive a 10 percent discount at any booth, as long as they show their student ID. The market is every Wednesday from 1 – 5 p.m.
