SLO Food Co-op is San Luis Obispo's member-owned grocer on Victoria Avenue, stocking organic produce, bulk bins and pasture-raised meat for everyone.
Tip: Membership is optional; anyone can shop, and the bulk herb wall beats every supermarket in the county.
California Fresh Market runs a full-service grocery with serious deli, cheese and Central Coast wine walls on Foothill Boulevard in San Luis Obispo.
Tip: The deli case and hot bar make it the picnic supplier for Bishop Peak trailheads five minutes away.
The Downtown SLO Farmers' Market closes five blocks of Higuera Street every Thursday night, stacking barbecue pits, produce and bands since 1983.
Tip: Streets close from 17:00; come hungry, since the barbecue stands sell full rib and tri-tip dinners.
The Saturday morning farmers' market fills the World Market car park on Madonna Road, the produce-first sibling of San Luis Obispo's Thursday night party.
Tip: It wraps at 10:45 sharp; the growers' stalls are picked over well before then in stone-fruit season.
