At summer’s peak, nearly 200 local farmers, specialty food purveyors and artisans come together to celebrate a vibrant local food movement. This market has grown tremendously since it opened in 1987, and has long been considered one of the premier markets in the state. Still, the market maintains its community roots, welcoming local eaters who religiously come to the market to take home the freshest foods of the season and to thank their farmers. To learn about public tours of the Marin Farmers Markets please visit our Eat Local 101 page. From the Manager If you’re wondering what’s happening on our local California farms, come down to the Sunday Civic Center market and see for yourself! With our local, seasonal producers rejoining the year round farms and vendors, the market is really getting packed. Come join us, every Sunday. Novato gets farm-friendly grocery with opening of Cooper’s Public Market next week. Market owner Dennis Cooper tidies up last minute construction details with son James / photo by Dan Dion Come next Saturday, Jan. 25, Novato area shoppers will have a new grocery to call their own.
That’s when Cooper’s Public Market opens in downtown’s Town and Country Center on Grant Ave. between 5th and 4th streets. Designed as an homage to locally sourced, sustainably raised produce, meats, eggs, and cheese, the concept promises to pack a lot into the 1,550 square foot space, but sourced from a pretty small set of zip codes. Owner and Novato native Dennis Cooper says he is focusing on buying produce and meat directly from farmers and ranchers located within 30 miles of Novato. He’s also determined to keep cheese, honey, olive oil, baked goods and other directly sourced foods local. The only exception will be the coffee beans served at the espresso bar, though those, too, are roasted by a San Rafael company. Here’s some of the talent he’s got lined up so far: Novato Farmer's Market - May to Sept. Grant Ave. Novato Tuesday 4-6pm. Batika India Bistro. Organic Produce Delivery San Rafael.

Limited edition Gravenstein apple case. HOME. Home. Slow Food USA: Sebastopol Gravenstein Apple. The sweet and tart flavors of the Gravenstein Apple are symbols of Sonoma County’s historical agricultural traditions.
The Gravenstein, which was first planted in Sonoma County in 1811 by Russian trappers, ripens in late July—making it one of the first apples in North America ready for market. It is a squat, irregularly shaped apple with a very short stem that comes in a variety of colors; it usually has a greenish yellow background covered with broad red stripes. The Gravenstein is known for its all-purpose versatility as a terrific eating, sauce and pie apple.
The apple has a crisp and juicy texture and a flavor that is aromatic and full of old-fashioned, sweet and tart flavor. Gravensteins are in danger of becoming broadly extinct because of many reasons, the most observable of which is their difficulty to harvest. Production in Sonoma County is now only a tiny fraction of its historic high levels, and continues to diminish as small farmers struggle to market their heirloom fruit. Slow Food Marin.
