LOVE the tacos at Taco Del Pepe! (I'll get a pic next time) Vegan and meat tacos. My chorizo, egg, potato, cheese was delicious! Does he make his own tortillas? Didn't have time to go back and ask. Unique and great bite. The honeynut squash vegan one was equally as wonderful. Outstanding canele (inside is thick, moist, custardy - outside carmelized and crispy edges) and perfectly constructed almond croissant at BakerE.co! Everything looked amazing and the early long line reflects that. Everyone was praising their goods, particularly the pies. The baker was there selling their goods - such a happy, sweet presence. Somehow these don't feel as heavy as others and deliver a finesse that shows expertise. A happy vibe this Tuesday before Thanksgiving! A great way to launch me into this frantic holiday. EV chargers available but expensive!! $2 for 33 min. Whoa...

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!!

My mom and I took a stroll through the new farmer's market in Hamilton Landing on opening day. It's…read moreevery Thursday 11am-3pm through the end of the year. It's right behind Villas at Hamilton and in front of the Bay Trail - between hangars 6 and 7. PRODUCE There were just a couple produce booths - one smaller and one bigger (neither was organic from what I could tell) with many samples of berries and stone fruits. I got cherries for $6.50 a basket and "cosmetically imperfect" plums and nectarines for $1.50/lb. My mom got red onions, lettuce, and broccoli (3 veggies for $10) and squash (yellow and zucchini plus a bonus kind given to her). SPECIALTY FOODS There were a handful of specialty food vendors, including Heather Stuckenbroker (Marin Foodies member) with her famous rum cakes (we bought one original and one chocolate - $4 each), as well as an assortment of sweet and savory spreads. From the Butterbars booth, I bought was a Dulce de Leche Butterbar ($4) to bring home to my husband. I also sampled the Ube Cheese and it was very tasty. They have a deal where you can six (one of each flavor) for $16. Auntie O's was there (delicious baked goods), The Juicery, and a few others with savory offerings (Mexican and Middle Eastern), all or most of whom are also at the main Novato farmer's market on Tuesdays. FOOD TRUCKS We got lunch from the two food trucks on site. The first was Lotus Grill Vietnamese Cuisine - run by a delightful local couple. The fresh spring rolls with shrimp and noodles (2 for $7 is a deal) with peanut dipping sauce hit the spot. Next time, I want to try their other menu item - bahn mi sandwich. The other truck was Sojuilla415 - Korean Mexican fusion, so I got two street tacos ($4 each) with bulgogi (steak), which was very flavorful and medium spicy. Their bulgogi fries also sounded tempting ($10 on the reverse side of the specials board) and I'd like to get the Super Burrito. The Roli Roti rotisserie chicken truck was there also. OTHER TIPS If you have CalFresh, there is a booth to exchange Snap benefits for dollars/tokens and they give a $10 bonus. There was also a face painting booth by Party Faces (artist friend who is a pro) and live music - a one man band. Miscellaneous other merchandise booths were there as well - like one with handmade (I think) boutique baby clothes. In one adjacent hangar, a new cafe - Kitchen - has breakfast, lunch, and bakery items. In front of the opposite hangar, there is a large open area with many tables and chairs (some shaded), as well as a lawn. My mom and I enjoyed our lunch there. I hope the market will attract more vendors to match the amount of interested customers - the front parking lot (where the library used to be) was almost full around 11:30.

Definitely a good farmers market to visit. The vibe was very joyful and all sellers were very nice…read more There were 2-4 farmers selling, and a couple of food booths, honey booth, cheese booth, and some clothing booths too.

I had a friend coming to visit Sonoma County from the East Bay and she had done some research to…read morefind a PYO flower place. She found First Light Farm and recommended that we try it out. We pulled in through the gates and saw a small field of flowers to the left, along with a shed-like structure and a house in the back. The right side was pretty empty; I'm guessing whatever was growing there had already been harvested. We stood around for a few mins pretty confused about how it all worked. We found a sign saying that CSA members get to cut for free and a pricing chart for non-members. There were clippers and a knife sitting next to a stack of boxes, so we grabbed one of each and headed for the garden. The selection wasn't quite what we expected, but we still got a great bunch of flowers and sunflowers. Some were a little difficult to access from the walkways, so we just tried to be as careful as possible. When we were done, we tried to pay, but there wasn't really a designated place to leave money, so we just stuck it under a box inside the shed area (I hope they got it!). Very cute place! A little confusing for first-timers, but overall a nice experience.

I was the sole patron in line waiting to check my items out at the register. There were 2 workers…read morebehind the counter, one helping a lady purchase an item behind the counter. The other was counting bills at the other register, I assume closing out a till. I patiently waited for my turn. The lady checking out looked back at me a few times while she checked out. 3-4 minutes later she finished paying for her 4 items, and I was still waiting patiently. When the transaction was finally done, I figured it was my turn to check out. Instead of being greeted to come check out, the two ladies continued to talk like they were at a salon while I stood there, still waiting as the worker completely ignored me. At that point I decided to leave my basket at the counter and leave, and the lady in front of me basically followed me out to my car. I'll let you figure out the race of each party involved. I've been in this market many times in the past without this type of treatment, and love supporting local businesses of all kinds. Now I have to reconsider this location.
