Point Reyes Farmer's Market
From June through November
Toby's Feed Barn
(Highway One)
Point Reyes Station, CA
Marin Organic is proud to present the world famous Point Reyes Farmers
Market, the only all local, all certified organic produce market in
the wider Bay Area. The market features the best this region has to
offer: the freshest locally grown organic produce, baked goods, artisan
cheeses, olive oils, grass-fed beef products, homemade preserves, oysters,
bee products, flowers, locally produced wool clothing, and body care
products.
The Point Reyes Farmers Market reached "royal" status when
it was visited by Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The
Duchess of Cornwall in November of 2005. Held at Toby’s Feed Barn
in downtown Point Reyes Station (a town of 350 residents), the market
is set in one of the most beautiful locations in the Bay Area. With
Point Reyes National Seashore and hundreds of miles of hiking trails
only a stone’s throw away from the farmers market, a joyful day
is guaranteed.
The market also features live music, cooking demonstrations and book
signings by renowned chefs, and much more.
Be part of the community, meet your organic farmers, and enjoy the
finest organic food farmers can grow.
The Point Reyes Farmers Market:
Every Saturday from 9am - 1pm, at Toby's Feedbarn, in downtown Point
Reyes Station - rain or shine.
Celebrate local, celebrate organic!
The Point Reyes Farmers Market is supported by the County of Marin,
Marin Organic, Point Reyes Books, and Toby’s.
A great way to get around West Marin is to use our community's public
transit:

Point Reyes Farmers’ Market Accepts
WIC FMNP Coupons
and Offers Senior Discounts
The Point Reyes Farmers’ Market has two programs which help
to support the elders of West Marin as well as low income residents.
On a voluntary basis, market vendors are offering a 10 percent discount
to any shopper 60 years and older. Those vendors participating in the
Senior Program will display a sign offering the discount.
The market's vegetable growers are also now accepting WIC FMNP coupons
as part of the California Farmers Market Nutrition Program. The WIC
Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program is associated with the Special
Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (otherwise
known as WIC). The WIC program provides supplemental foods, health care
referrals and nutrition education to low-income mothers and children.
In 1992, Congress established the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program
in order to provide fresh, unprepared, locally grown fruits and vegetables
to WIC participants.
Please come visit the market and help support the farmers who are supporting
these programs!
