And when I went back for more they were sold out. Every market is its own person, each one completely different even if the food is the same as the town twenty minutes to the north. <BR/><BR/>It seems like it wasn't long ago that Napa primarily consisted of fruit stands along the road and wineries were the exception. In any event, it is beautiful over there and I like your dream. <BR/><BR/>melissa - Go on purpose. It's worth it. <BR/><BR/>kendra - I absolutely thought of you at the Sonoma market. But then you must not need to go as much considering your big garden. I'd probably want to go anyway to see the people and make sure I wasn't missing anything. <BR/><BR/>I snuck a peek at your labels from work today and they're beautiful. How'd you know that I've been stacking jars in the pantry confident that I would simply remember what's in them? Your labels will be put to good use although I liked your masking tape and sharpie marker method too. <BR/><BR/>sarah - Yes, totally blessed you are. I'm fourth generation Sonoma County and I've always loved it. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. <BR/><BR/>donna - I would hang out at a farmers' market with you in a hot July minute. And I have to check out the markets everywhere we go too. They tell so much about a place and people are always nice, often ready to share a story about their food. Independent bookstores are irresistable to me too.Kale for Salehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467378353738682141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-85546687468960111532008-07-21T14:46:00.000-07:002008-07-21T14:46:00.000-07:00What a lovely way to spend a day!

Wish I lived closer and we could hang out and visit a couple more markets! <BR/><BR/>My husband teases me, but he knows when we travel I can resist anything but a good roadside stand or farmers market.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896172914500564208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-67676846581523285772008-07-21T14:43:00.000-07:002008-07-21T14:43:00.000-07:00Thank you for reminding me how blessed I am to liv...Thank you for reminding me how blessed I am to live in Sonoma County!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07804312577089937175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-27394408570572168592008-07-21T13:01:00.000-07:002008-07-21T13:01:00.000-07:00I know all of those vendors of which you visited h...I know all of those vendors of which you visited here in Sonoma. I see them almost weekly. But I did miss this last Friday.<BR/><BR/>Aren't those strawberries great? I bought a ton last year, this year we've been partial to the strawberry patch in town here.<BR/><BR/>Oh and I wanted to let you know that if you are looking for a pretty way to decorate the tops of your strawberry jam jars, I've designed some labels which I have on my blog today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-49750291554192212282008-07-21T11:34:00.000-07:002008-07-21T11:34:00.000-07:00that does sound wonderful!

Discover new foods, connect with people living far different lives. I love checking out different farmers' markets.<BR/><BR/>I visit the Napa Valley often and, while I love the open space and soaring hawk filled skies, it is one big giant monoculture. I'm heartened by Long Meadow Ranch which set up organic vegetable gardens in the midst of Rutherford, wine country. My dad and I dream of buying land up there, along Highway 29, and opening an organic berry stand/pumpkin patch.Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-18284123931173420862008-07-21T07:06:00.000-07:002008-07-21T07:06:00.000-07:00Wow - the Farmer's Market is one of my favorite pl...Wow - the Farmer's Market is one of my favorite places to go!
