Bee & Honey is the buzz on this roll up gate but not it's title…read more A large bee is lingering around some orange florets with a bottled glass jar labled "honey" nearby. Honey isn't produced this way. Everyone knows it's found at a grocery store or farmers markets, not by following bees or anything that's buzzing. Creator: Unlnown

All of my honey needs are well met at Bee Healthy Honey Shop; I love their Queen of Sheba honey,…read morewhich is from the immediate area; I love the fact that it is a local business, run by locals. If you haven't tried other apiary products before, Bee Healthy also sells fresh bee pollen and propolis. Mohamed, who works the retail sales at the shop, is a very friendly and helpful person, full of knowledge. Why buy in a grocery store when you can get the freshest honey from a local source?

I don't think you're ready for this jelly…read more.. Ok, it's technically jam. But seriously, you ain't ready! The "Plenty Spicy Jalepeno" is amazing on everything: omelets, quinoa, scones, mixed with some feta, or just straight out the jar. It's like a cross between a relish, a chutney, and a jam - with just enough sweet and spicy to keep you wanting more. After hearing Dafna (not to be confused with INNA, who is not a real person), explain how she makes her jams by carefully scouting the local farmers who provide her fruit, using the all the fruit while it's fresh, and delivering everything -yes, everything! - via bicycle, just ups my respect. And we all know, respect makes everything taste better. You can find INNA goods at only the hip-est local cafes (Actual, for one), and in-the-know gourmet grocers. Or just keep an eye out for Dafna on her bike, and she'll surely peddle something sweet for ya. Mmm, keep jammin' girl!

First heard of INNA Jam when I got a grilled cheese sandwich from Homeroom and i bought my first…read morejar from Eat Real Festival. Ever since, I absolutely love their jams. Their most popular jam is their jalapeño jam, its actually surprisingly mild with a tiny sweet kick. (For a regular spicy eater) My intake of fruit lacks, I do however likely fruits when it prepared in different ways and processed (I mean this in the most conversation manner). For that reason alone, I explore for the opportunity to try new and original things. One of my favorite methods is when t's preserved and jacked up with plenty of sugar. INNA jam is perfect for this. I'm totally become obsessed. INNA jam uses only fruits that are within a hundred miles from their kitchen. Moreover with the love from the community, their new commercial kitchen is crowded funded excessing the goal via kickstarter. Since then, their kitchen is now constantly produces delicious jars of jam and is shared. Like a good bottle of wine, each jar is carefully labeled the fruit it holds and where it is sourced. The glass jars are simple screw tops, they are very reusable. Their newest product is scrubs. A drink that very much reminded me of drinking vinegar. I can imagine this sour drink can easily be mixed in with some cocktails. ----- + Pro: Delicious jams you can't go wrong with. - Con: ???????? \( ^,^)/ Overall: A favorite to get some local jam.

Wow, I can't believe I've never been here before!…read more It's larger than it looks from the outside. There are tons of groceries available, as well as cooking ware and some health/beauty products. I'm impressed by their variety of lentils, grains, and packaged foods. They also have one of my favorite brands of chai (Quik Tea)! The only downside is that some of the items aren't labeled with their prices.

They have Thumbs Up and Limca sodas which I really like and cannot easily find in other stores. The shop is clean and organized and easy to look around. The cashier is always friendly and respectful.

Just tried their new "five spice pasta" and an old fav, "teriyaki sushi". So flipping good! And…read morethey are protein galore! Some of their products can be concentrated on the taste but I always find ways to combine them with fresh produce to dilute them a bit. I know and work with the owner as an architect so I know the level of dedication and diligent he put in all TFY products. Knowing the person who makes your food adds that so more to my enjoyment when eating. Look forward to their new "Turkee and Stuffin" available to order for thanksgiving!

Tofu Yu, for me, for everyone!…read more Another new vendor at Stonestown's farmers market. Tofu Yu started 2 years ago in the east bay, the production kitchen is still there but their Berkeley retail store is now closed. You can find their tofu products around the east bay at many farmers markets. http://static1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/wj-3IpEcZ8YQwR6kSs5TZw/l I like tofu and I'm a fan of Hodo Soy Beanery's products. So after trying some free samples, I bought the veggie wraps http://static1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/IaCJ7O6HtgFT_Y9DFg14Ng/l and the veggie meatballs, http://static1.px.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/erH6HCx7sob7Z5pgYactKQ/l priced at $6 per pkg. or 2 for $10.

I've been meaning to explore this farmer's market. The first time we were driving by and decided to…read morestop. It has a good variety of vendors for produce, meat, cheese, mushrooms, breads, body products, jewelry and more. There are a variety food vendors where you can get your fill of dim sum, burgers, Laos sausages, and a wonderful coffee vendor. I think you want to get there earlier than noon. The first time we went, it was about 1pm. We strolled up and down the aisle. By 1:30 there seemed to be little produce and a couple of vendors were starting to pick up. The second time we went a bit earlier. It is about a 20 minute bike ride from the Point so it is convenient. We walked around and saw the same vendors so I feel confident they will be there regularly. Great location with views of the marina and bay from the parking lot. There is a no pet sign but it was posted only at one entrance - and not the one we went through. It was warm and I couldn't leave her in the car. Because she was self-contained in her personal buggy, I didn't think it would be an issue. Still, probably best to leave your furbabies at home. The only negative I have is one vendor blasting music from their booth. I enjoy listening to music but it's so loud that I can't have a conversation with the vendor without yelling, so I move on. Quickly. When you get to the water end of the market, you are blessed with sounds of the bay and birds. Now, that's nice. The second time we rode our bikes from home. It's about a 20 minute bike ride from the Point so it is convenient and it was a beautiful morning. As we rolled up, we were greeted by loud music. Again. Sigh. There are a few tables set up at one end with coloring books and games, entertainment for both grownups and kids alike. You can also grab a bite to eat or something to drink, sit down and enjoy the vibes. Pleasant way to enjoy a sunny day by the bay in Richmond.

I came to this Farmers Markets unexpected but I am glad that I did show up. The view of the boats…read morein the water is magnificent. I wish I had my camera with me to take a picture of the boats. What is so great about The Richmond Farmers Market in Marina Bay is the space that is being used. The vendors at this market are very kind. You say hi to them and they start a conversation with you. It is a friendly Farmers Market to come to. I love seeing the people that attend the Farmers Markets. I have not seen anybody trying to bring their pets to the market which is not allowed. I do love how people come here on a Sunday Morning checking out the vendors. When I attended this market I only saw one vendor that had fruits/vegetables. Every other vendor were take out food or clothes. I am not disappointed that the market didn't have much produce vendor but it is still a market nobody if you call it a Farmers Market. Keep up the great work serving Richmond.

I needed a simple California wine gift for a couple of my colleagues in Florida. I spent a good…read moreamount of time searching for a vendor who would in fact ship California wine and after a lengthy search I found California Delicious. I settled on the "Best of California" box and placed the orders and had them shipped. I elected standard delivery and even though the expected arrival was 5-7 days, these gifts arrived in 4. Not only that, I ordered on a Friday and the gifts shipped on the very same day! Terrific service for sure. Their gift options are fantastic, many choices in all price ranges. I'll order from these folks again because the process is easy, their website is simple and it's great being able to ship California wine! I think the only thing I would change is the ability to place more than 1 gift order in one transaction. This wasnt an option so I had to place 2 separate orders, not a deal breaker, just a wishlist item.
