Summer is a great season for a lot of things, and one is fresh, local produce! The easiest way to purchase local, seasonal produce is by attending one of the Central Coast’s farmers markets. Practically every town or city has one, both in SLO County and Monterey County. As your Central Coast real estate agent, allow me to fill you in on the 2019 farmers market schedule, so you’ll know where you can go every day of the week!
