With the abundance of fertile valleys and a longstanding history of farming in wine country, it’s no surprise our soils, climate, and dedicated farmers yield the finest foods and produce. All proudly grown, freshly picked, and brought to a farmers market near you. Your local farmers market is a place for the community to gather, explore new tastes, and where agricultural bounty and family stories are shared.
Savoring produce at the peak of its season and meeting the people who grow your food is the best reason to support your local farmers market. Most of the foods are minimally processed, and generally free from pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, and genetic modification. Often heirloom varieties and breeds are used in conjunction with organic farming methods to offer the highest quality product to customers.
Most markets are now operating on a regular schedule through early autumn, so get down to yours to meet your growers, ranchers, and farmers. Ask questions about their sustainability practices and crop varieties; dive into how your food is grown. Get inspired by the shapes, colors, textures, smells, and flavors of healthy, fresh, local ingredients lovingly tended by a small family farmer. Learn preservation techniques, recipes, and prep tips for what you just bought. By making a local farmers market part of your weekly routine, shopping becomes a joy rather than a chore.
