Farmers Markets near Julian, CA

About three miles from Julian's Main Street, this market sets up indoors at Wynola Farms Marketplace on Highway 78, Sundays from 11am to 4pm, spring through fall. Local growers sell produce, honey, cheese, and fresh-cut flowers alongside jam, olive oil, salsa, hummus, and baked goods from area kitchens. Craft and soap vendors round out the stalls, and being indoors makes it one of the few mountain-area markets that isn't weather-dependent.
