Fall Flavors at Costa Mesa Markets
As the seasons change, so does the weather. The long, warm days of summer will soon fade away to cooler autumn evenings. Although Costa Mesa has sunny, mild weather year round, change in the seasons also means different offerings in local markets.
The OC Mart Mix Farmer’s Market at SoCo, Sprouts, Mother’s Market and the Farmer’s Market at the OC Fair & Event Center are great places to find a variety of spices, fruits and vegetables available to create the freshest, seasonal meals, small bites and desserts.
