This was the perfect stop on our vacation before we settled into our airbnb (which was on a ranch)…read more We needed snacks and food for dinner -- specifically stuff to grill over our campfire, and this Farmers Market had the perfect goodies for us. There was lots of beautiful produce and we ended up buying enormous trumpet mushrooms and zucchini. We grilled them both with just a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and they were so perfect. We also bought a giant box of blueberries, a jar of orange blossom honey (that we brought home with us and still use), and lots of cheese! Aside from all the produce, cheese, and honey, you'll find handmade crafts like baskets and jewelry, a paella stand, flowers, live music, smoked meats, art, and more. It's in a great location too, right in the center of the little downtown, so there's bars, restaurants, and shopping all right there.

While visiting family in the area, we decided to stop by this farmers market and see what artisanal…read moregoods they had to offer. I really appreciated the wide variety of what you can find here. Handmade charcuterie boards, fresh vegetables and eggs, local honey, coffee, and even a massage table that you can book in 15 minute blocks. My favorite booth was one where you can sample various Labne and other middle eastern goods. The gentleman working there was so welcoming and excited to share his unique spreads and side dishes. The ambience is very relaxed and on brand of Santa Rosa. It's the perfect blend of weird and eclectic along with a focus on community and celebrating local vendors. Definitely stop by if you're around on a Saturday morning!

I loved the variety of food trucks and fresh farm stands to unique artisan booths with things such as pottery, wood crafts, jewelry, and more.

It's rare to find a real farm shop down a backroad, and True Grass Farms offers a simple…read morehelp-yourself shop on the honor system. For sale here are fresh eggs, frozen meats (lamb, pork and beef), local tea, and bone broth. We took note that this is an ecological farm using regenerative grazing practices, and yes we had to dig deeper into their website to find out exactly what that means. Impressive: thoughtful, transparent & sustainable farming. We picked up a dozen farm fresh eggs ($10) some farm made breakfast sausage (which was delicious), and large pork sausage, which we can't wait to try. Easy to connect to their free WiFi at the farm shop and pay via Venmo. Nothing better than a true backroads find!

Camping my Style…read more Working cattle ranch and farm that also happens to have camping locations available throughout the property. The Good: *You can purchase some of their homegrown meats to use at your campground. *Lone shared restroom was very not bad for an outhouse. *Multiple campsites along the Estero *You can also purchase wood to burn in the camp firepit *Located in Tomales, not too far from the ocean, it probably doesn't get too hot like most summer campgrounds are prone to getting. *Cell signal (Xfinity) was actually pretty decent in some spots. The Meh: *Directions to campground is a little confusing at first. The Ugly: *It's still camping and sleeping in a tent on an air mattress is still a nightmare. Conclusion: Still not a big fan of camping but this place is very not bad.
