The Healdsburg Farmers' Markets are open MAY - NOVEMBER. There are two markets: Saturdays 8:30-noon, May 4-Nov 30, in the West Plaza parking lot (behind Bear Republic Brewing Company) Tuesdays, 9am-1pm, May 28-Sept 24, downtown on the Plaza. Both markets feature an abundance of fresh, locally grown produce, tons of flowers, delicious food product of all kinds, prepared foods and beautiful handmade craft. Different performers entertain each week and there are special events throughout the season like the Zucchini Festival (Saturday, September 7th) and our costume-filled Pumpkin Festival (Saturday, October 26th). This market is 41 years old, and is one of the original 22 farmers' markets in the state of California. Northern Sonoma County was built on agriculture and we continue that heritage through our markets.
During this time of coronavirus, it was nice to go to the farmers market, where most were taking safety measures. The one place that wasn’t taking proper safety measures was Tisza Bistro. None of the people there were properly wearing their masks, including the cook. When I mentioned this, the cook just told me “OK. Fine. You don’t need to get food here. Goodbye.” All the other vendors were adhering to safety procedures and were very kind. I bought beautiful peaches from Dry Creek Peach, clam chowder and scallops from Anna’s Seafood (they were kind enough to keep my purchases on ice while I finished shopping), fruit and vegetables from a few different vendors, and a beautiful bouquet of flowers from S and W floral. The farmers market is downtown, near shady streets, Healdsburg Square, wine tasting rooms, and other shopping. It’s worth spending a few hours in the area. Bring a cooler with ice to keep your farmers market goodies cool, pick up fresh fruit, cheese, and bread at the farmers market for a picnic, and eat it in the square. Then walk to Costeaux Bakery or Downtown Creamery for indulgent dessert - either to eat right away or to enjoy later at home - and stop at one of the wine tasting rooms for a bottle of wine. One thing to mention is that dogs aren’t allowed in the farmers market, due to public health requires. Healdsburg itself is a dog friendly town, with shady streets and the square. Go to the market with a friend. While one of you shops, the other can walk the dog(s) and vice versa. Don’t let your beloved canine family miss out on this nice outing.

We go to Farmers Markets now and then. It is not a place to purchase inexpensive food all the time. Some of the produce is pricey, but as the old adage says "You get what you pay for". All of the growers that we talked with were proud of their produce. They offered small amounts to taste before you purchased and were very easy to talk to about how the produce was grown and whether anything had any pesticides, etc on them. They would also tell you if the produce was at the height of season or whether the season was almost done. This is the type of information you will not get at the Supermarkets. We also saw a lot of heirloom varieties of various produce so it was fun to talk with the grower to find out the difference between the supermarket variety and the heirloom variety was. We could then sample the heirloom sometimes and tell for ourselves if it was worth getting the heirloom or not. On top of all of the great produce, there were other vendors that sold ready to eat products as well as other arts and crafts. So in general there is something for everyone. TIP - Make sure you bring enough cash as most vendors only accept cash since it is an outdoor market with very few electrical connections. TIP#2 - As with most Farmers Markets, you want to get there early as the best produce is snatched up first.
