What makes your homemade salsa different from store-bought brands?

Our salsa is made fresh daily with locally sourced produce whenever possible. Unlike mass-produced jars, our recipes are crafted in small batches to preserve flavor and texture. This means you get a salsa that tastes like it was made in your own kitchen—only better.

Are your authentic homemade tortillas gluten-free?

Our flour tortillas are not gluten-free, but we also carry fresh corn tortillas made by local partners. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and provide a delicious alternative for those with dietary restrictions. We’re happy to help you find the right option for your needs.

How should I store homemade tortillas to keep them fresh?

We recommend keeping them in a sealed bag at room temperature if you’ll enjoy them within a day or two. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze them, then reheat on a skillet to bring back their soft, warm texture.

Can I reheat your homemade tortillas without losing their texture?

Yes! The best way to reheat our tortillas is on a hot skillet or griddle for about 30 seconds on each side. This method keeps them soft and pliable while bringing back that just-made warmth. You can also wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for a few seconds, but stovetop heating will give you the most authentic flavor and texture.

Enjoy Our Fresh Homemade Salsa Made Daily in San Diego

Homemade salsa isn’t just a condiment; it’s the difference between a meal and a memorable one. At Windmill Farms Market, your local food store in San Diego, we make ours fresh every day.

The Problem With Store-Bought Salsa

Most jarred salsa has a shelf life measured in months. Ours is measured in hours. Cooked-down, over-processed salsa loses the brightness that makes fresh salsa worth eating in the first place. We fixed that by making it in-house, every morning, with real ingredients.
