FORESTVILLE CERTIFIED FARMERS MARKET

Tuesdays, July 7 thru September 29, 4p to 7p

6/15/20. Restrictions are loosening up day by day. As of now our food vendors can prepare hot food on site and serve it to go! We can also sell Beer & Wine too! Yay! Just a week ago that wasn’t allowed. We have picnic tables and benches where people can remove their masks, and enjoy market food & drink, but we ask that you don’t linger long. We will have Farmers and Crafters, but no live music yet.

We are opening up cautiously not wanting to adapt a false sense of security, as such, the market will require all market goers to wear face masks and maintain social distancing. We will also have hand sanitizer available to all.

With these measures in place we are hopeful people will feel comfortable enough to come out and enjoy the Market!

The Market is located in our lovely park under the Oak trees right in the center of downtown Forestville. The West County trail head meanders through the park which connects to the little town of Graton, and Sebastopol. It’s such a beautiful setting. We hope to see you this year!

Our farmers look forward to bringing you the freshest nutrient dense local fruits & veggies around. Our Food vendors look forward to offering you delicious, tasty take-out foods. We will be here for you. Please come out and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine with us while supporting your local food system vendors.
