A coastal climate and long growing season help Humboldt County farmers produce a bountiful crop each year. At local farmers’ markets, you’ll find everything from fruits and vegetables to fresh flowers and artwork. The larger markets often have live music, artists and other vendors. At all of the local markets, you’ll find a selection of local and organic produce, honey and jams, live plants and cut flowers. If you prefer a more first-hand look into the workings of local farms, many of them welcome visitors and have stands on the grounds where you can peruse, sample and buy the freshest of the fresh or pick your own flowers. Stop by a seasonal farmers’ market or farm stand and fill a bag with nature’s bounty.
