San Rafael Farmer's Market It’s spring, and that means that soon it will be the time when you can go to your local farmers' market and buy fresh and organic produce and other goodies. There are some year-round farmers' markets in Marin, but the majority of them start up again in spring after going on hiatus in the fall. Some of the year-round farmers' markets that I really like are the Civic Center Farmers' Market in San Rafael, which happens every Thursday and Sunday morning from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. They have lots of organically grown produce, breads, eggs, and fresh cut flowers. This farmers' market is a great one to take the kids to. If you haven’t been there yet, it’s located next the Civic Center duck pond and playground. They also have pony rides, live music, and a balloon lady dressed as a clown who will make any shape of balloon that the kids request.

Also year-round is the Corte Madera Farmers' Market, which takes place every Wednesday from noon-5:00 pm. This farmers' market is located at the Town Center, an upscale shopping center. When we are at the Town Center getting my sons hair cut, we love to stroll the farmers' market and buy fresh produce for that night’s dinner.
