Here's What's Good at the Farmers Market This Week

The Agricultural Institute of Marin presents the Marin County Farmers Market Thursday and Sunday at the Marin County Civic Center in San Rafael.

Each week, San Rafael Patch likes to check out the market and see what is special.

There is so much in the way of just-picked fruits and vegetables, home cooks may have their hands full with preparing their fresh ingredients. So, stop by these vendors to get some help in the kitchen.

 AIM operates nine markets in the Bay Area. The Thursday and Sunday markets are the grand-daddies of them all.

But the Marin County Farmers Market is about more than fresh produce. The organization was established to support regional sustainable producers by giving them a place to have direct access to consumers. See their Web site here.
