Saturday Farmers Market

Sunny Saturdays begin with warm hellos from Sonoma farmers, inspiring cooking demos, and live music in downtown Healdsburg (healdsburgfarmersmarket.org). Graze local food vendors – Dry Creek peaches, Lata's samosas, Volo chocolate's bean-to-bar treats, Valley Ford Creamery's award-winning Estero Gold cheeses, organic Preston olive oil – and find unique handmade gifts, including Lissa Herschleb's stamped ceramic earrings and Michael Rosen's stoneware mugs. Since 1978 the market has hosted seasonal events, from zucchini races to pumpkin carving contests; see the website schedule.
