She said Encinitas Community Park in Cardiff would be a better location for the weekly market.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers market organizers told the neighbors that they sympathize with their concerns and will do everything they can to minimize them, but said the market must move and their replacement site options are limited.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/27\/brother-arrested-in-fatal-stabbing-of-19-year-old-man-in-point-loma\/\">Brother arrested in fatal stabbing of 19-year-old man in Point Loma<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For 20 years, the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association-sponsored market has been held at Paul-Ecke Central Elementary on Union Street in Leucadia, but that school will begin a major renovation project this summer. After it concludes, there won\u2019t be space for the Sunday farmers\u2019 market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, (it)would be ideal if we didn\u2019t have to move locations from Paul Ecke, but \u2026 we\u2019re lucky enough to have found Oak Crest after looking all across the city for a space big enough,\u201d said Nikolas Harth, president of the Leucadia 101 Main Street Association.<\/p>\n<p>Stacy Reddell, the association\u2019s executive director, said they spent eight months looking for a suitable replacement site; carefully vetted every potential option; and now will make every effort to work with the middle school\u2019s neighbors to resolve their concerns. Stephen Dickinson, the business services associate superintendent for the San Dieguito Union High School District, said the school district is \u201cvery supportive\u201d of the farmers\u2019 market proposal and Oak Crest is used to hosting large events on regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>And, a number of regular users of the farmers\u2019 market said the new proposed location will allow it to better serve the public, improving parking options and giving it space to expand. They added that the people who live near Oak Crest will soon discover how incredibly lucky they are to have a weekly market with specialty vendors right at their door steps.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s such a wonderful community experience \u2026 I don\u2019t see how any community could not want this \u2014 farmers\u2019 markets are, like, awesome. It\u2019s great for the growers and it\u2019s great for the people,\u201d Leucadia resident Rachelle Collier said.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the market hosts about 130 vendors, including everything from spice sellers to bread makers, but that could increase to 195 vendors at the new location, city permit documents indicate. In addition to fresh produce and cooked food items, the market will offer flower sales stalls and live music. Parking will be provided at the Encinitas Community &amp; Senior Center and along Oak Crest Drive.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/05\/27\/victims-killed-in-recent-san-diego-crashes-identified\/\">Victims killed in recent San Diego crashes identified<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plans to move to Oak Crest Middle School opposed by neighboring home owners<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1460,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
