You can never go wrong with fresh produce, especially when you live in Orange County. Various cities in the OC community host dozens of vendors providing Certified California Grown produce, specialty foods, and various handcrafted products from local small businesses. Due to COVID-19, these California Certified Farmers Markets will look a little different than you are used to! To maintain social distancing you may see that some markets are curbside pickup or drive through only in order to continue providing all the fresh ingredients you need at home.
