Sunday Farmer Market


Today I made my way over to the farmers market located at the Civic Center in San Rafael. The farmers market is open in the morning and it proved to be scorching hot. There were waves of people scattered around looking for fresh fruits and vegetables. I really enjoyed the size of the farmers market. There are lots of people that attend yet it never feels too crowded. The farmers market is a great way to eat amazing food while supporting local chefs and farmer. My sister and I decided to try out the crepe stand and they were amazing! We ended up buying lots of peaches and nectarines after the samples left us no choice. I had a conversation with the guy who runs the Ortiz family farm stand. They run an Organic family farm that sells lots of different products. We talked about water usage and sustainability. He explained how they use water from the lake in order to conserve water. He explained how little things that they do in order to save water goes a long way, especially on a smaller sized family farm. I would most definitely recommend taking a trip to these farmers market. It is open on Sundays every week and they carry relatively inexpensive produce throughout. It's great to eat breakfast or lunch.  -Cole
