St. John's Church parking lot, Hwy 9 at Laurel
This is a great little cozy market with a slight festival atmosphere. There is a range of vendors and plenty of parking. There is a play area for children and live music.
Most of the vendors are familiar from other area markets. Joe of Dirty Girl is a Santa Cruz farmer who brings an assortment of certified organic vegetables to area markets. Live Earth Farm is in Corralitos, and also has a CSA. Happy Boy Farms also sells beautiful organic veggies at a number of local markets. Thomas Farm is sure to be there with the best of whatever is in season. Zayante Vineyards adds a nice touch with local wines.
Don't forget to Buy Fresh, Buy Local and support your local small producers.
