Yesterday in Point Reyes

It was a gray, overcast morning. A visit to the farmers' market located at Toby's Feed in the middle of Point Reyes Station was our goal. This market is organized by Marin Organic and, as I understand it, is all organic. It is rather quaint and cute. They had some good music and the place was busy for its diminutive size. Now this is my first time at this market and the primary reason for my trip was I wanted to get some strawberries. These are not just any strawberries either. The berries from Satori Farms in Tomales have been the best of the year by far, even better than Dave's (of County Line Harvest) berries. Now Russ, who grows these, seems to pick them a bit riper than other growers. As a result, he specifically tells his customers to eat them within two or three days, at most. Now I know where to get berries from Russ on Tuesday (the Novato market) and on Sunday (the San Rafael Civic Center market), but where do I get them for Saturday. Russ comes to the market in Point Reyes. What a great excuse to get out for a beautiful drive and see a great little market in a great little town. We had breakfast at the Station House Cafe, which was terrific, and strolled around the main drag and went by Tomales Bay Foods where they were making Mt. Tam and Redhawk cheeses at the Cowgirl Creamry. What a great morning!
