Point Reyes Farmers Market
You Mon Tsang April 25th, 2009
What’s special about the Point Reyes Farmers Market? The Santa Rosa Press Democrat said it well:
Producers are almost entirely organic and most come from within a handful of miles of the Marin Coast, which contributes to the market’s charm. Some farmers markets seem generic these days, with few local farmers and the same vendors traveling from the Central Valley and the Central Coast. But here, you’ll find truly local oysters, grass-fed meats, flowers, honey, cheeses, olive oil and lots of just-harvested fruits and vegetables.
