Marin Farmer's Markets

Civic Center Farmer's Market

My office is located in the Corte Madera Town Center, and as I went into work Wednesday morning, I was reflecting on how wonderful it is to work above a community that is always full of happy faces shopping, eating, or just hanging out enjoying each other's company. Every Wednesday the Town Center has their Farmers market, and as I strolled around the vendors I found myself thinking of all the great Farmers Markets we have here in Marin. I really appreciate the feeling of simplicity and community you get from purchasing from your local farmer's market.

Enjoy seasonal produce
all year round

Farmer's Markets have been around since the dawn of civilization, but they've really become hugely popular and part of most people's shopping habits in the past decade or so. Living in California, one of the most productive and fertile growing centers of the world, is amazing enough, but here in Marin County we're especially fortunate to be surrounded by so many organic local farms.

From produce, to pottery, to amazing wines, you can't beat our local selections. Did you know we're also home to some very groundbreaking vegan cheese making companies? I haven't tried them yet, but reviews are very promising, and they're continuously innovating to create a wider selection of alternative cheeses. They're even being used in some local restaurants already!

There's a Farmer's Market almost every day of the week here, which is an amazing opportunity to cook with fresh, organic produce that you can pick up so easily from any of our local markets. For a list of all the local Farmer's Markets, you can visit the Marin County home page here: Marin County Farmer's Markets. To check out Miyoko's Kitchen, one of the vegan cheese companies, you can click here: Miyoko's Kitchen

Have a great weekend!
