The Farmers Market (Irvine, CA)

Today (08/01/2026), I wanted to say goodbye to the Saturday Farmers Market.

Let’s walk the Farmers Market
Location: Mariners Church parking lot at 5001 Newport Coast Drive, Irvine, CA 92603
Time: 8:00a.m.-12:00p.m.
These flowers were $10 (tempting!).
Strawberries. (always a good idea)
Lol, I have never bought carrots at a Farmers Market in my life. I just liked the color and the thought of buying a garden grown good, I guess.
It really is quite the weekend production (lots of activity!)
Lol, I solo-chuckled seeing this cart’s shadow. I haven’t quite pinpointed what it looks like, yet.
There is always free musical entertainment.
I liked this flower, too!
I did my hair “space bun” style after watching a Youtube tutorial. I tried to capture it via a shadow moment… the pic turned out (not lol, 😀 ).
The only thing I ever buy is a Meet the Source Cinnamon Roll. (Yum!)
I love them when they are cold, but it was hot out… so, this one was a little less chill.
In case you wondered what it would look like to stand directly under a bell.
The Farmer’s Market is located in proximity to Mariner’s Church (think mega!).

Though there are many Farmers Markets in Orange County, the Irvine Farmers Market is seemingly the largest with over 100+ vendors. My attendance to the Farmers Market is actually quite low (maybe 1-3 times/year). I usually get inspired to visit in the Fall as a seasonally matched outdoor activity. I tend to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of options and leave with merely a Meet the Source Cinnamon Roll (every time!). I respect the “regular” Farmers Marekt attendees and imagine them cooking homemade meals from scratch. Listening to the free music, observing all of the commotion, and taking pictures as I walk are a few of my favorite things to do.

Thank you, Farmers Marekt, for giving me somewhere to stroll, purchase delectable treats, and play photographer. You will be missed. xo
