Sunnyvale Farmers' Market
Where: Downtown Sunnyvale, Murphy Avenue@Washington
Timing: Open all year round. 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.
Attractions: Fresh, often organic, produce - all seasonal. Plenty of samples. Prices less than or about the same as the regular grocery store. Food stalls: Our favorites were the Afghani stall with some amazing samples and the Flying Falafels. Indian food stall selling Naan and some curries, but the samosas finish up quite fast, so head there early. Generous portions, fresh food, great taste, and all very inexpensive.
