The Gravensteins are coming.. The Gravensteins are coming.  Greetings Fellow Local Food Foragers and welcome to August, the gateway month to apple season.  Look for Nana Mae’s Gravenstein apples in the plaza.

It is National Farmers Market week.  We are excited to have you join us as we celebrate local farmers and the abundance of summer.

We are incredibly sad to hear that not everyone in our community feels comfortable coming to the market largely because there are still people, mostly outside the market who are not willing to wear a mask or social distance.  Please help us keep the Sebastopol Farmers Market safe by wearing the mandatory face covering and practicing social distancing at all times.  No eating or drinking inside the market.  It really does make a difference and it is a county ordinance.

In case you haven’t heard..  We now have online ordering for Curbside service pick up.  Order by 3p on Saturdays for pick up from 11a-1:30p on Sunday.  www.sebastopolfarmmarket.org

Not finding your favorite vendor? Because of social distancing, we had to move things around a bit to fit everyone in.  Make sure you explore all the corners of the market for your favorite vendors old and new.

See you at the market!!
