Farmers Market Day

The weekly Farmers Market on the Plaza in Arcata is a beloved Saturday morning staple. And what better place to spend the day in May when all good people will be called home? Talk about The Rapture!


Produce from Humboldt Bay.

Rapturous face.

Local farmers’ produce, plants, veggie starts, blooming things, honey and greens.

The produce at the Arcata Market is as much social as mercantile.

The Sombrero Ladies sell tickets to win a fabulous vacation, to benefit local causes.

Saechao Farm in Fortuna is our favorite for strawberries.



The Plaza’s own gardens frame and echo the Saturday morning produce stands.
