Downtown Encinitas MainStreet Association (DEMA) has partnered with Whole Foods Market, who will be providing bags for the first 200 customers in the market’s initial months. DEMA has also partnered with the North County Transit District, so visitors should look for the special Coaster fares and incentives for those walking and biking.
This will be Encinitas’ second farmers market. This market was designed to be a compliment to the Sunday Farmer’s Market coordinated by DEMA’s sister organization the Leucadia MainStreet. The Leucadia Market is held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Paul Ecke Elementary on Union Street.
