Live or work in Sonoma County? There is absolutely no excuse to say that you don't have time to shop a farmer's market this summer season.
For street markets selling the county's best and bountiful in fruit, produce, artisan breads, cheeses, honeys and lots, lots more are up and running and hoping to see you and your basket stroll the sidewalk sometime soon!

Support local growers, Petaluma Bounty and a bevvy of enthusiastic crafters in a convenient, tree-lined location with a park and pony rides for the kids.

I love the Turtle Lodge shot, Frank, and I for one will be happy to have a respite from all of the politic mailers after tomorrow...
