Does Irvine have the most certified farmers market out of all the OC cities? With a new one that debuted last week making (at my count) three total, I would have to say yes.

This newest one is held inside Traveland USA off the I-5 at the Sand Canyon Road exit at 644 Burt Rd. every Saturday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Last Saturday was its inaugural day. In addition to that, starting the July 17th weekend, they'll also be open Sundays, too.
Though it's still not of the magnitude as the farmers market across from UCI, this one's 4 p.m. closing time seems to award the late risers who can't make it to UCI's noon closing.
Before becoming an award-winning restaurant critic for OC Weekly in 2007, Edwin Goei went by the alias “elmomonster” on his blog Monster Munching, in which he once wrote a whole review in haiku.
