There are too many strollers, kids and "service dogs". The produce is unusual and fresh but on the pricey side. I try to avoid the market except when I need my knives sharpened.
This market is the largest and best. If you must have fresh produce, eggs, fish, anything, this is the place. And you can ask the farmers what they fertilize with if that's a concern. I love walking around and shopping here. Bring lots of smaller bills and a cart to fill.
This is a great farmers market with tons of fresh produce baked good and crafts and its location is great. If you enjoy farmers markets you need to check this one out.
No matter what the season, you'll be surprised at the variety of fresh vegetables and fruits! Along with the known favorites, I've also tried (and enjoyed) many new varieties. There are always samples. I often finish my day there with a chocolate pastry!
Excellent fresh organic produce, great fruit, breads, dairy products and more, great variety!Nice atmosphere with two areas to sit and eat prepared delicious food sold at the back. Live music A great place to go in Marin County!
What else is there to say? I try to go every Sunday morning, right at 8 when they open. Thursday there aren't as many vendors. My all around favorites are Trocadero & Capay for vegetables. I also love the huge French bakery stand on Sundays (which ironically has excellent German-style pretzels).
The Marin county Farmers Market, open on Thusday and Sunday mornings (8-1) is famous for quality, exotic fruits and veggies, local cheeses and organic products of all kinds. Chefs from all over the Bay Area shop here. On Sundays there are pony rides and jumpees for the kids and artesinal baked goodies for the adults, as well as one of a kind crafts. Come early as parking can be very challenging as the morning wears on. Cash or credit card and be sure to bring your own bags.
Not only is it a fine farmer's market, but there is a huge variety of places to eat freshly prepared foods of all types. There are bouncy attractions and for the kids on Thursdays and Sundays.
The Marin Civic Center Farmers Market in San Rafael is one of the best in the county. If you go every week the vendors become friends and you can find the most delicious produce as well as meat, eggs, and nuts direct from the grower. There is live music, fresh flowers and cooked foods if you need a little snack. The coffee is the best! It's a good feeling all around to support local farmers, some are not so local and drive for hours to supply us with their wonderful products, to serve our family's the healthiest and tastiest foods available. It's an experience that is fun and rewarding in many ways, you can spend hours looking at all that there is to offer and get a great deal of your shopping done for the week while having fun doing it - I highly recommend! Held on Thursdays and Sundays from 8-1. parking is free.
If you like your produce fresh. This is the place. I particularly like the fruit. They are not shipped long distance so they are picked later which results in a much better tasting fruit.
