Local Forage

  • Eating is one of our most primal and sensual acts. And eating what's good for you doesn't mean depriving yourself of gastronomic delight. Local Forage explores why traditional foods—the real, unprocessed, whole-fat foods of our grandparents—delivers the winning combination of maximum health and maximum taste.

    Local Forage provides an exchange of practical information on where to buy these nutrient-dense traditional foods in the bay area, how to prepare them and how to think "beyond organic".

Hello, hello! Just thought you might like to know that not only does Kaki farms sell eggs on Saturdays, but they do Tuesdays as well.

Also, Riverdog farms has pastured eggs at the Thursday and Saturday markets.

I'm off to go scramble some eggs for the kids!

I was just at Barons's who I love. Wonderful butcher. They did sell Marin Sun eggs but have not for some time, but the grocery store that is in the same building does. Seasonally - winter season there is far less egg production. None of the pasture raised are available until Spring. When in season I know they have Marin Sun and Clark Summit eggs.
