Sonoma Farmer's Market - Fresh and Fun

View Sonoma Farmer's Market locations in a larger map

The Sonoma Farmer's Market has kicked off another season offering fresh produce, flowers, locally made cheeses, honey, breads and a variety of fun entertainment The "big" farmer's market is Tuesday night on the Sonoma Plaza, in front of City Hall, from 5:30 till dusk. A smaller market is held Friday mornings until noon near the old railroad depot on First Street West just off the Plaza.

The Tuesday night Sonoma Farmer's Market has grown in size and popularity in recent years. With the bigger crowds it's become a venue for people with all sorts of messages...from campaiging politicians to grouchy clowns. These two on stilts were joined by a crowd of clowns that made news in the Sonoma Index Tribune.

The weather has been cooler than usual so far this spring but when the temps rise and the evenings warm up, the Tuesday night Sonoma Farmer's Market is the hottest social scene around. Relatives and friends gather for picnics and playtime and it feels like one great big multi-generational family reunion in the center of our friendly town.

Hi Deborah....me, too! I used to grow and sell apples in another life...farmers are the best people I know.

Thanks, Russell. I have to give Brad Andersohn tons of credit on the map element. He held a fantasic ActiveRain University webinar yesterday that showed me how. It wasn't easy gettting everything to "sit right" in the post...took a couple hours of trial and error. (Might have been somewhat due to server issues, I'm not sure.) I think the embedded Google Map is pretty cool. I'm not quite there yet...with all the bells and whistles. I really appreciate your kind compliment...you are such a pro.

Bill: I'm into flower-power---I'm a genuine California girl---so I check those out first. The organically-grown Oak Hill Farm produce stand is my next stop. If I'm being good I walk away from the pastries nearby but I almost always stop at the Hummus Guy's table and load up on pita and one of his spreads. Uh Oh. It's late and I'm getting hungry again....so i'm just going to wrap this up and head to bed. Thanks for stopping by.
