A few of my favorite things… This roadside fruit and flower stand on the border of Carlsbad and Encinitas, CA. All year-long providing organic local fruits and vegetables, chocolate covered and locally picked strawberries, breads, dates, figs and their famous guacamole and chips. During the holidays the strung white lights create a magical aura over the Christmas trees and hanging red chili’s. In October the Pumpkin Patch comes alive with a wave of orange color, the summers provide a quick snack of cherries on the way to the beach. There is always an arrangement of flowers that reflects the season and succulent plant gifts in unique containers.
Location: (5) Freeway at La Costa in Encinitas/Carlsbad go East to Saxony Road- It’s on the SouthEast corner of La Costa Ave and Saxony Road.
