Bay Area Bountiful: Farmers Markets

On this edition of Bay Area Bountiful, we visit the farmers market. Markets are an important part of life in Northern California, and we explore how farmers markets are sustained by the communities they serve. We follow farmers getting ready for market day in Santa Rosa, and meet the people who organize one of the markets in Oakland. Then, in Silicon Valley we see how government, non-profits and agriculture work together.

I often forget that there are many people that don't know how to grow their own food. I grew up in a household that did all it's own gardening which lead to having some food products grown also. We did squash, corn, Green beans, tomatoes, strawberries and a few other rotational items on top of a few citrus trees (orange, tangerine and lemons). I also had some horticulture classes in 7th - 9th grades. It can be hard work but the rewards are delicious.
