San Rafael’s Thursday Farmers Market in July-snapshots of what’s happening.

Want to cook like a pro? Shop where the pros shop. The local farmers market. Here is a look at what’s going into our menus at the moment…

Tomatoes,tomatoes

And more tomatoes! All from Full Belly Farms in the Capay Valley.

Also from Full Belly Farms: Santa Rosa Plums.

Pluots that we use to make compotes, chutneys and salsas to serve along side grilled pork chops, roasted chickens and fancy burgers; or, just simply sliced along side an assortment of local cheeses.

Things that happen at the market #324: impromptu watermelon tasting on the bumper of a farmers truck.

Of course there is Bok Choy from Marin Roots Farms just off D street, South of Petaluma.

As well as other exotic greens…

Including broccolis

And sprouts like Agretti

And Red Mustard

The most astonishing thing lately? Local apples like these Gravensteins from Sonoma county. Its still July….right?

  • I was a founding board member of the Marin County Farmer’s Market.. on the board for 8 years.
    Delightful to see your pictures. I so appreciate seeing them now that I live on the Big Island.
    I used to own and operate Mushroompeople in West Marin.

    When you are over here, give a call and come see what I’m up to now. Hybridizing warm weather cymbidium orchids. They are incredibly beautiful.

    All the best to you both! Yummy Yummm Yummm…

    • Thank you Jennifer for your kind comment here. We absolutely will look you up next time we are in your neighborhood! All of our best back to you.
