Grab their homemade, chewy, incredible sourdough bread (best sourdough I've ever had) and drop into the box what it's worth. If this system was in NY, people would be running away with the stand!

I had a good time, and would definitely recommend coming here at least once, but I may wait awhile before coming again. Mainly because trying to find parking near this market is insane. That, and I wasn't necessarily blown away by any one particular vendor. I highly suggest coming early or parking a little ways down - since come 6:00pm - Downtown San Rafael is a madhouse. As far as clothing and jewelry vendors - I didn't see too much that stood out to me personally, but it was still fun to browse. The Food vendors were very friendly. I tried a mini vanilla Teeny Cake, which was probably the highlight of my stroll-through. The fruit looked delicious and I loved that so many of the fruit vendors had samples out. White nectarines, peaches, and plums - juicy and perfectly ripe were everywhere. I watched a number of mellow soulful musical performances, before turning the corner and heading to Sol Food for some Mango Iced Tea and plantains. I'm so glad that these early night Farmers Markets exist. It's an incredible way to bring together a diverse group of people in a warm and genuine way. Would definitely recommend- if you happen to be in the area on an upcoming Thursday.

The one thing I do like about this Thursday evening market is the deep discounts that go on close to the 8 p.m. closing time. Linger around, then pounce on those $1/pound nectarines, plums, and peaches. Grab 3 flower bouquets for $10. Get a mess of end of summer/end of night tomatoes. They have the usual fruits and vegetables, an assortment of okay food, live LOUD music on the little square beside Arizmendi Bakery, inflatable jumpy things at one end, and mostly forgettable jewelry/clothes/junque at the other end. No dogs allowed here, even on a leash. You will be stopped, so don't even bother trying.

Just stopped by today while we were on our way to Monterey. Such a cute little farm located on the…read moreride of the road. They have a strawberry field that you can pick from. They also sell an assortment of strawberry creations: chocolate covered strawberries, strawberry shortcake, strawberry cheesecake, and Jams. I'm so glad I stopped by I found my new favorite places for strawberry shortcake. Food (10/10) - no complaints here! If you love strawberries, you will definitely love this place. They have so many things to try. I fell in love with the strawberry shortcake. The cheese cake was also good. But ultimately the shortcake won me over. Activities (9/10) - very family friendly. You can hand pick strawberries and then chill in their picnic area. They have a strawberry cut out that you can take pictures with. All in all I think this is a great place to stop by.

These folks sell beautiful strawberries. While I do not buy strawberries every week, when I do buy…read morethem I get them here. They are consistently excellent and always organic. One Sunday morning as I strolled past their stall, I picked up this subtle and wonderful fragrance. I took a few steps and looked around, then it hit me, it was the berries. I do not think of strawberries as especially redolent, but this day they were amazing. Of course, I changed direction and bought half a flat of the red beauts. It does not hurt that the sellers have a sense of fun. Just today I asked how it was they still have fresh strawberries in October when most of the other berry growers are gone or selling squash. I learned that the farmers made a pact with the Devil that extends their growing season. I was assured the fruit was unaffected, just the soul's of these wonderful farmers. Talk about devotion...

I wasn't totally sure about the hours so I emailed the owners and they replied super quickly and were super friendly and informative. I had a chance to go over today to get some eggs and was delightfully surprised that there's actually a bunch of other wonderful stuff there and, both Ken and Judith were so welcoming and it was just a great experience. I can't wait to go here for all of my egg needs, and get to scoop up whatever else is in season.

The servers and hosts are all very nice and friendly. They check on you but don't pressure you on anything. Inside the ambience is fun and bubbly, but I usually am a sucker for the sun so I opted for outside on the last visit.

The ice cream was absolutely delicious, and all of the flavors we sampled were fantastic. It was hard to choose a favorite because each one was so good.
