Farmers are rain or shine so farmers markets are rain or shine (or heatwave) 👨‍🌾🌦️

Every year around abnormal weather events, we get asked whether or not the Mercato is still open. The answer is almost always, undoubtedly, undeniably YES. With the exception of dangerous winds, we are open, operating, and prepared to serve our community weird weather and all.

Why? Well the answer is simple. Farm work doesn’t stop just because we want to. Regardless of the forecast, crops need to be harvested, fields need to be tended to, and animals need to be cared for. Often times in more extreme conditions than what we experience in our sunshiny, San Diego bubble.

We’re fortunate enough to live in one of the few places in the country with beautiful weather year-round. So on the off occasion that it’s rainy or a little too hot, we’re clocking into work just like our farmers do ensuring their harvest and their hard work doesn’t go to waste.

The Wednesday Mercato is OPEN tomorrow (heatwave and all) from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Little Italy San Diego ❤️

Shopping for locally grown pumpkins in a tank top and shorts is not exactly what had in mind when we pinned Caitlin Covington to our Pinterest board for the 10th year in a row 😅🎃

YES it is going to be ungodly hot for October tomorrow. YES we’ll still be open warm weather and all. And YES our farmers and vendors will still have all your favorite seasonal fall flavors and treats (you just might wanna order that PSL from Wipeout Coffee freezing instead of 210° with no foam).

Do fall the farmers market way TOMORROW at the Saturday Mercato from 8 AM to 2 PM in Little Italy San Diego ☀️
