For now, though, let me just show you the stuff at the Wild Blue Farm booth at the organic farmers' market in Point Reyes Station (Saturdays, through September).
Wild Blue is in Tomales, which is in Marin County, so we scooped up bags of squash, chard, beans and onions.
Not all the produce at this lovely little Saturday market comes from Marin, so we asked around. (Also got two beautiful heads of garlic from a beautiful farmer's daughter -- their farm is on Route 1, also in Marin, but I forgot to ask what it's called.)
Next, I'll tell you about the vinegar, mustard, butter, milk and cheese we bought. The vinegar is from Healdsburg (Sonoma County) and the mustard is from Napa. Ah, so sue me.

I'm just starting to get past Auto setting. Started reading the instruction manual yesterday...
At the market (which I almost didn't even shoot because you already got it covered so nicely) I considered wandering around asking strangers "Are you Greg?"
(Good thing I didn't.)
Acctually went to Marin Farmers Market today. Got there at 830am. There was so many people!Got tomatoes,zucc,and strawberries then ran from the maddening crowd.

Since I don't have to work anymore (and neither does beloved husband and co-cook), I prefer the Thursday market. BH&CC actually did visit the Sunday market today -- twice -- on his bicycle, and he reported it was a zoo. Yuppie curiosity trap. Feh. Gawkers hovering around the cheese vendors, gobbling free samples.
Upside: some Dry Jack cheese, Napa-grown beans and wild rice, ripe chiles from East Palo Alto.
Oh, dear -- your tomatoes still haven't ripened.
