A Bounty of Roadside Stands

The number of roadside stands in North County has remained fairly stable during the 28 years that Tim Tillyer has inspected them for the county health department. But the names change as new stands start and others fold.

Below is a list of roadside stands in North County. Most are open during spring and summer, or, if they sell only one or two types of produce, during the harvest months of those foods.
