Today, June 7, the Forestville Certified Farmers Market opens for its 2016 season in a new location in downtown Forestville. You’ll find it at 6990 Front St., across from Fred’s Liquor. In previous years, the market was held at Cork’s Restaurant at Russian River Vineyards. The new location offers something that was in limited supply at the restaurant: Shade!
Produce and egg vendors on opening day include the Russian River Vineyards farm, RLR Vineyards Farm, and SunRise Ranch, all located in Forestville; Min-Hee Hill Gardens of Sebastopol and Armstrong Valley Farm of Guerneville. Achadinah Cheese of Petaluma will attend, too, as will Dominique’s Sweets. The Green Grocer, Canneti’s Roadhouse, Forestville Pizzeria, and Tiny Town Cafe will attend with a wide array of breads, beverages, sweets and other foods to enjoy on the spot. Frozen Art will have delicious fresh-fruit ice-creams to cool you off.
Local craft, body product, and gift vendors round out the market.
Tonight’s opening market will feature lively Zydeco music by T-Luke and the Tight Suits, pony rides, a petting zoo, and a wine-tasting garden.
The market opens at 4 and continues until 7:30. every Tuesday through October 25.
