Aliso Viejo Farmers Market — weekly morning market

The City of Aliso Viejo and the operator My OC Certified Farmers Markets both list a weekly certified farmers market at Aliso Viejo Town Center in Aliso Viejo. The market is held in the Regal Edwards Theatre parking lot at 26701 Aliso Creek Road, according to the city calendar and the operator’s website. The listing describes a Saturday morning market with produce and prepared-food vendors, though the published hours differ by source. The city calendar says the market runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the operator’s Aliso Viejo page lists the same schedule. ### Where is the market held in Aliso Viejo? Aliso Viejo Town Center is the stated location on both the city calendar and My OC Certified Farmers Markets website. The city’s event page names the Regal Edwards Theatre parking lot as the site for the certified farmers market, and gives the address as 26701 Aliso Creek Road, Aliso Viejo, California 92656. The operator’s Aliso Viejo page says the market is “located in the movie theater parking lot,” matching the city’s description of the Regal Edwards Theatre lot. That places the market in the main commercial center rather than at a park or civic building. ### What hours are currently published? The City of Aliso Viejo calendar entry says the certified farmers market is held “every Saturday morning 10am to 2pm.” My OC Certified Farmers Markets also lists Aliso Viejo on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both its main markets page and its dedicated Aliso Viejo page. (avcity.org) Older web listings show different hours. (avcity.org) A Nextdoor post from the city published about five years ago said the market had extended hours of 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and older Facebook and local-blog references also used 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 8 a.m. to noon-style morning hours. The current city and operator pages, however, point to 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. as the active schedule. ### Who runs the market? My OC Certified Farmers Markets identifies itself as the operator and says it has provided Orange County with produce, honey, eggs, meats and prepared foods since 2008. The company’s market directory includes Aliso Viejo among its regular locations. The city calendar links directly to My OC Certified Farmers Markets for more information, which ties the municipal listing to the operator’s own schedule page. (nextdoor.com) That cross-reference is the clearest public confirmation of who manages the market. ### What can shoppers expect to find there? My OC Certified Farmers Markets says it provides fresh produce, fruits, honey, eggs, meats and meals across its markets. (myoccfm.com) The Aliso Viejo page calls the site a “fun Saturday Morning Market,” while third-party local listings describe produce, bakery items, honey and prepared foods among the regular offerings. (avcity.org) The city calendar uses the “certified farmers market” label, a designation used in California for markets where agricultural products are sold directly by certified producers under state rules. A local student newspaper article about the market also described a mix of groceries, breakfast items and specialty stands. ### Why do some listings still show older times? (myoccfm.com) LivingMiVidaLoca’s weekend-events page is a broad roundup of family activities across Orange County, and it advises readers to visit event pages to confirm details. That matters here because older community posts and guide pages still circulate different schedules for the Aliso Viejo market. (avcity.org) Current official and operator listings are more recent and more specific. The city calendar was crawled last month, and the operator’s Aliso Viejo page was crawled within the past several days, both showing 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays at the Town Center theater lot. ### Where should shoppers check before going? LivingMiVidaLoca publishes weekly Orange County event roundups, but it tells readers to confirm details on the underlying event pages. (livingmividaloca.com) For this market, the most direct sources are the City of Aliso Viejo calendar entry and the My OC Certified Farmers Markets Aliso Viejo page. (avcity.org) Saturday is the next scheduled market day under the standing weekly listing, and the posted location remains the Regal Edwards Theatre parking lot at Aliso Viejo Town Center. Shoppers looking for same-day confirmation can use the city calendar or the operator’s market page before heading to 26701 Aliso Creek Road. (avcity.org) (livingmividaloca.com)
