Backroads Certified Farmers' Market

Open Saturdays 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM this month.

Sell what you make here

There are two ways to sell what you make, and they follow different county rules. If you make prepackaged shelf-stable food, that is the cottage food path, and it is the one that allows selling at farmers markets like this one.

If you cook full meals from your home kitchen, that is a MEHKO permit, and county rules do not allow MEHKOs to vend at farmers markets. Home kitchen cooks sell from home instead, through pickup platforms like What's Cookin' Tonight, so neighbors can order and pick up directly. See the San Diego MEHKO guide to learn how a home kitchen permit works.
