North Bay Farmers' Market — Attraction in North Bay

The market itself earns a good 5 star, it’s nice to have this place for small family run businesses in the area. You’re not going there because it’s priced better than Walmart. You’re going there to support the local community.

I dropped an easy $130 there at 3 vendors. Very happy with two of my purchases, both good quality.

But one of them, Mr. Pancho, may be sending me to ER today. It’s a Mexican food vendor. I’ve bought burritos from their store nearby in the past. They had a so called “sample” plater, it was GROSSLY overpriced. I didn’t expect $25 for two drinks and 5 deep fried pieces of stuffed dough. But the price isn’t my worry: I’m feeling violently ill, headache setting in, nauseous; likely food poisoning.

Don’t buy food from Mr. Pancho at this...

It's a farmer's market and craft fair. All the foods, cooked and uncooked are amazing. We bought some hand pies from the Menonites, amazing. 5 different kinds of mushrooms and a bottle of Turkey tail tincture from The Ugly Barn Farm mushroom grower's! The mushrooms were so beautiful and delicious. Bought a gorgeous pottery mug from the pottery maker. Some baklava from Manal's Baklava! Had trouble sharing that. Glad I had lots of cash. Goods are very high quality and priced well....

What I enjoy most about the Farmer's Market is the array of artisan products and local craftsmanship by local business owners. There are always new and interesting products to check out and there is ALWAYS some baked goods that are too hard to resist. Definitely worth checking out on Wednesdays/Saturdays if you're...
