If you're interested in local agriculture or just feel like treating yourself to some really good food, head toward one of the weekly Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Markets. Local vendors of many specialties gather here and sell directly to consumers. Fruits, vegetables, dairy products, even fish and meat, everything you crave is waiting for you at one of Santa Barbara's seven weekly farmers markets, rain or shine. Many of the best local restaurants shop the markets, too, so keep your eyes peeled for shoppers in chef's coats with their carts piled high... and then be sure to ask them where they're cooking that night!
