Sebastopol’s market is compact enough to walk twice. The first pass is for comparison: which berries look best, who brought mushrooms, whether the baker still has the loaf you want. The second pass is for buying and for lunch.
This is one of the county’s easiest markets to combine with the rest of town. The plaza, Main Street and nearby restaurants keep the morning going after the grocery bags are full.
What to buy
A bag for Sebastopol Farmers Market.
West County produce
Apples are the historic reference; berries, greens, mushrooms and vegetables follow the season.
Cheese, eggs and honey
Enough to turn a pantry run into a picnic.
Bread and preserves
Come before the final half-hour when a particular loaf matters.
Prepared lunch
Tamales, curries, breakfast food and rotating vendors make it easy to eat in the plaza.
