Vendor Events in Carmel, CA

25 spots open

Every Tuesday morning from May through the end of September, the Barnyard Shopping Village in Carmel transforms into a vibrant gathering place for local food producers and home cooks seeking the freshest ingredients the Central Coast has to offer. The Carmel Farmers Markets at the Barnyard Shopping Village runs from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, giving you a generous window to browse and shop before heading into your week. Located at 3690 The Barnyard, this weekly market brings together regional farmers, bakers, and artisans who are deeply connected to Monterey County's rich agricultural traditions. You'll find the full range of what makes farmers markets special: seasonal produce at peak ripeness, fresh-baked breads and pastries, locally-made cheese, farm eggs, cut flowers, herbs, and seafood from nearby waters. The variety reflects both the Monterey Peninsula's unique growing conditions and the diversity of vendors who commit to showing up week after week. Whether you're looking for organic vegetables, specialty items, or ingredients you can't easily find at conventional grocers, the market caters to serious home cooks and everyday shoppers alike. The summer and early fall season when the market operates captures some of the best produce months on the California coast, when stone fruits, berries, greens, and herbs are all abundant. The market welcomes shoppers with different payment preferences and shopping situations. Credit cards are accepted, and the market participates in WIC programs, making fresh, local food accessible to a wider community. Many vendors highlight organic and sustainably grown products, reflecting the values of both producers and Carmel-area customers. Shopping at a farmers market like this one means you're buying directly from the people who grew or made your food, which typically means fresher products, shorter supply chains, and the chance to ask questions about how things were grown or prepared. For vendors, the Carmel Farmers Markets at the Barnyard Shopping Village offers a consistent, established location and a loyal customer base throughout the busy summer and fall season.
