We are thrilled to say that the Petaluma Farmers' Market is the first Blue Zones Approved Grocer in the nation!

This is no small feat! It is beautiful to live in a community with such close proximity/access to local produce of all types. We also had the chance to offer multiple homemade salad dressing workshops at both the East and West Side markets, highlighting how to make simple, affordable dressing to go with your seasonal produce.
