Farmer's Markets-Taste Earth's Bounty

All of us like the feeling of community and going to one of the many farmer's markets in the East Bay is a wonderful opportunity to experience connection-Everyone is out and about, families, children in strollers, dogs,(parked in valet dog parking),balloons,musicians, local political causes and more. The best feature is the fresh food-mounds of fresh organic fruits,vegetables, pastries, cheeses, fish, nuts,coffee,tea-you name it and you will find it.

Farmer's Markets have sprouted up in many of our neighborhoods,Montclair, Temescal, Lake Merritt, Jack London Square, and various Berkeley locations, to name a few. To get specific market locations and schedules, go to http://www.urbanvillageonline.com/.

I personally love the views at the Jack London Square Market right next to the water with boats and yachts sailing past. My favorite local market is Temescal-it is a manageable size,the fresh produce and food stands are fabulous and the ambiance is very casual and friendly.

After visiting one of our great markets, you won't want to touch anymore frozen food.
