Food and Cooking

When the season of spring is bountiful, so is everyone’s dishes. Head over to your nearby farmer’s market for the best local produce you can get. Fresh, organic, locally-grown; let’s support our local farmers and get the freshest harvest we can buy. Even though the Marin area has an all-year-round farmer’s market, the majority of them sell their harvest in spring. Here’s a list of business schedules of the farmer’s market throughout the Marin and North Bay area.

However, please do remember to check the dates a day or a week before you head over to the market. Some of these dates are not finalized.
