Open year-round, rain or shine!

Also known as the “Chef’s Market,” the Thursday Marin Farmers Market is frequented by local restaurateurs and food producers looking to source their ingredients. But you don’t have to be a professional to enjoy its most popular goods: from hyper-local meats to specialty pastries and breads, this laid-back market is perfect for picking up groceries and grabbing a delicious lunch.

Situated next to the lagoon at the Marin Civic Center, the market is easily accessible by car (off the 101) or train (at the Marin Civic Center SMART station). There are ample biking and walking trails, plus plenty of space for picnicking—all with a scenic view of Mount Tamalpais.
