Marin County Farmers’ Markets

Marin County is renowned for its vibrant farmer’s markets, which showcase the region’s rich agricultural heritage and commitment to sustainable, locally-sourced produce. The Marin Farmers Market, held at the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael, is one of the largest and most diverse markets in the county. Operating year-round on Thursdays and Sundays, it offers an extensive array of fresh fruits, vegetables, artisanal foods, and locally-crafted goods. This market not only provides high-quality, seasonal produce but also serves as a community gathering space where visitors can interact directly with local farmers and food producers.

In addition to the Civic Center market, Marin County hosts several other farmer’s markets throughout the week in various locations. The Mill Valley Farmers Market, held on Fridays, offers a charming small-town atmosphere with a focus on organic and sustainably grown produce. Other notable markets include the Fairfax Farmers Market, known for its Wednesday evening gatherings that combine fresh produce with live music, and the Novato Farmers Market, which runs on Tuesday evenings during the summer months. The Tam Valley Farmers Market and Sausalito Farmers Market also offer unique local flavors and experiences. These markets not only provide access to fresh, local produce but also reflect Marin County’s strong community spirit and commitment to supporting local agriculture and sustainable food practices.
