What's Next Valley Farm Market, a specialty gourmet market and butcher shop, will unveil its third San Diego location at Del Mar Plaza this summer. The family-owned business with a 60-year history is taking shape in a prominent street-front space, with plans to include a deli-style eatery concept showcasing high quality ingredients, freshly caught seafood, and daily prepared dishes including ceviches and poke bowls. Felix and Eleanor Marso established the first Valley Farm in Spring Valley in 1952, and it has since remained a family business under the direction of their grandson, Derek Marso. The Del Mar Village Association presents its next "Keep Del Mar Green" Community Cleanup on Saturday, September 27, from 10 to 11:30am. Meet at the 17th Street Del Mar Lifeguard Station before spreading out across the beach, parks, and nearby streets to collect litter that would otherwise pollute our precious waterways. To make your efforts even more rewarding, the Del Mar Lifeguards will treat volunteers to a delicious breakfast. On the restaurant front, two exciting new additions are in the works in Del Mar Village. The Honor Bar by Beverly Hills-based Hillstone Restaurant Group will be located in the former Bully's North spot, while a fourth Queenstown concept will open in the former home of WestBrew Del Mar at the corner of Camino Del Mar and 15th Street.
