We walked around two or three times before actually buying anything because of how happily overwhelmed we were from all the different choices!

I'll be going more if I'm ever in the area at this time again!

Everything at this farmers market is grown or made with care. Stop by and hear their stories, all interesting and beautiful. My new favorite is Gigi's One Bite Wonder and it's always more than one bite. I absolutely love their filled-to-order arroz con leche doughnut ($5). It's light and not too sweet perfection. For balance, ferments at Min-Hee Hill Garden offer many varieties and sizes. Do stop by and check them out. Music is always interesting and a joy to experience. Benjamin Glasgow was really fun on Steel Pan.

I still get a basket full of produce for under $10. Normally I spent about $7 and get lettuce, apples, green beans, organic bananas, cantelope and some spinach. So cheap and it just feels so right because you know the produce is coming at us locally and the money is going to support the farm system and not over priced grocery stores. Oh and I hear their pies and home made ravioli's that they carry are delicious but I have yet to try. :)

It's quite robust for how small it is. I love their snacks section; dried fruits, nuts, wasabi peas, trail mix, Asian snack mix, etc. They have a great selection of fruits both traditional and some slightly more exotic options especially depending on season. Some local products and imported options (oils and pastas), it's really a lovely roadside addition to our area. I can see why it's been here for so many years. Pricing is fair, convenient location off the drag, good variety of goods.

These people were selling three different kinds of garlic, for example, when I stopped by. I brought home a small head of rose-colored garlic and appreciated my purchase as soon as I started making pesto. Here is a partial list of what Moon Fox Farm produces (taken from their CSA box web page): Arugula, Mizuna, Spinach, Chard, Beets, Sorrel, Mache, Little Gems, Lolla Rossa, (and other Heirloom baby lettuce), Broccoli, Cabbage, Leeks, Onions, Scallions, Chives, Thyme, Sage, Rosemary, Shiso, Papalo, Epazote, Parsley, Fennel, Lemongrass, Dill, Horseradish, Snap Peas, Shelling Peas, Fava Beans, Lima Beans, Okra, Carrots, Celery Root, Parsnips, Potatoes, Radishes, Turnips, Escarole, Chicories, Cauliflower, Kale, Collards, Hon tsai Tai, Bok Choy, Artichokes, Sunchokes, Beans, Dry Beans, Corn, Cornmeal/Polenta, Tomatoes, Peppers, Dried Chiles, Cucumbers, Summer Squash, Winter Squash, Strawberries, Melons, Walnuts, Prickly Pears, and Mushrooms. The farmer behind the farm is Annie Izaki, who "started Moon Fox Farm in hopes of getting people excited about roots, leaves, flowers, and fruit and to build on the connection between human, animal, plant, earth, water, and sky." This sounds pretty good to me; I intend to stop by their booth each week at the market.

We joined Moon Fox Farm's CSA six months ago. What a happy and great find! After leaving Valley End…read moreFarm's CSA, we struggled to find a CSA we could trust. We're so glad to have found Moon Fox Farm! Every two weeks, we get a substantial box of really fresh (there is dirt involved!) seasonal and delicious vegetables and herbs. We've especially loved the lettuces, eggplants, beets, cilantro, basil, tomatoes, garlic, and potatoes. We've tried and liked lots of new stuff like hon tsai tai and Jimmy Nardello peppers. The owner, Annie, is easy to work with and keeps us in the loop.

We traveled to the Red Hill Ranch in Petaluma mainly to learn about MALT (Marin Agricultural Land…read moreTrust). Kitty Dolcini, the co-owner of the farm and a MALT representative whose name passes me at this time were there to greet our enthusiastic group. From Kitty we learned how she and her siblings inherited the 600 acre ranch after their dad had passed away. Five of her siblings wanted no part of the ranch, but Kitty and her brother Doug wanted to keep the ranch and carry out the family's farming tradition. The Red Hill Ranch had operated as a dairy farm. With a net worth of $5 million at the time Kitty and Doug needed help to buy out the shares from their five non-interested siblings. That's where MALT entered the picture. To make a very long story short MALT secured the dollars necessary to buy out the five siblings in exchange for the development rights to the property. Under the agreement with MALT the Dolcinis remain the owners of the land, but the land is protected for agricultural use only. The agreement is permanent and there is no opt out. Kitty now happily owns 3/7ths of the property while her brother Doug owns the remaining 4/7ths. For the time, Kitty, who also owns a landscape design company, operates her share of the farm raising nearly 400 chickens in an open pasture for their incredibly fresh eggs. Several acres of her land are leased out to other farmers, and she also operates a company on the ranch cooking up farm fresh dinners to large groups. On weekends she has a farm stand on the property offering farm fresh eggs and an assortment of beautiful produce harvested by the other farms on the property. Our group got a sampling of Kitty's ranch dinner practice when she prepared lunch for us during our visit. With some fabulous rosemary-infused lemon water to whet our appetite, our group sat down to amazing egg salad sandwiches served on fresh flaky croissants and multi-grain bread and a crispy, fresh green salad drizzled in a vinaigrette dressing. The egg salad using Kitty's super fresh farm eggs was incredible, and there were so many sandwiches left we got in on third and fourth servings. For dessert our group when gaga over four different flavors of rich, creamy ice cream from the nearby Straus Family Creamery served with edible flowers. Not usually one to partake in any ice cream action due to health reasons I sampled a bowl of the butter brittle ice cream and was so glad I did for it was outstanding. After the amazing meal Kitty led us on a walking tour of her ranch teaching us some history about the family farm, the land and her chicken pasture. While the ranch is not certified organic Kitty does feed her chickens organic pellets and farm fresh produce. We witnessed the chickens going crazy over a clump of fresh lettuce tossed into the pasture. When we noticed an occasional hawk soaring overhead we talked about the threat of predators to her chickens. Kitty estimates she's lost about 100 chickens over the years to Red Tail Hawks and raccoons. She has plans to bring in two canine shepherds specifically trained to protect birds in the fall in hopes of losing fewer chickens. We toured the old dairy barn which is primarily used for storage these days and looked out at some of the vintage farm machinery on the ranch. There is so much history on that land I'm glad Kitty and her brother made the decision to keep it. In 2018 the farm celebrates 100 years for the Dolcinis. Kitty said she doesn't have specifics yet but she's throwing a big party at that time to celebrate.

What a wonderful lavender bee farm!!…read more I've visited much bigger lavender farms in Texas in the past. This farmer is not big by any means in comparison but it's so well maintained, charming, and so beautiful. They only open for about a month during lavender season in early summer. So pencil that in on your calendar to email or call b/c it's by appointment only. The tour is $15 per person and it's well worth it. The owners JoAnn and Rick gave a very informative tour of the property, lavender fields, bee-keeping, and the history of the farm. There are plenty of photo ops and you'll also get to meet Bob who is the master dog at the lavender bee farm. The best part of the tour is the tasting in the end IMO. JoAnn served us samples of local artisan cheese and fresh watermelon drizzled with lavender honey. OMG they tasted sooooo freaking fantastic!!! And how can I forget about that lavender lemonade. WOWZ!!! After the tour, you are free to explore on your own and/or buy honey and gifts from the small gift shop. I picked up a bottle of lavender honey for $18. I can't wait to return next year and take my parents there, too! Love love!!
