Temecula’s three weekly farmers markets each offer a unique flavor of the valley: the Old Town Temecula Farmers Market on Saturdays brims with fresh flowers, artisan pastries, hot coffee, and a wide variety of seasonal produce; the Vail Headquarters Farmers Market on Tuesdays combines farm-fresh goods with a family-friendly atmosphere, complete with picnic tables and a mini train ride; and the Promenade Temecula Farmers Market on Wednesdays brings convenience for locals with certified organic farms, pre-made foods, and craft vendors set just outside of our local mall. Together, they create a vibrant rotation of local flavors, organic offerings, and community throughout the week.
Tuesday Vail Headquarters Farmers Market
Every Tuesday from 9 am to 1 pm, the Vail Headquarters Certified Farmers Market unfolds in this charming family-friendly plaza. There are rustic historic buildings, a picnic area, and even an adorable mini train that whisks around the historic grounds. It’s a festive, welcoming atmosphere with an array of local farmers showcasing freshly harvested produce, fragrant cut flowers, farm-fresh eggs, jars of local honey, specialty foods, and locally crafted goods. You’ll also find homemade fresh tamales, artisanal body products, and crafts.
For families, it’s more than just shopping. The market features the beloved “Little Vail Headquarters” Train, offering kids a charming ride for just $3 per ticket (with multi-ride discounts and free rides for children under three with an adult)—sold inside The Cookhouse.
