Shopping at the St. Helena Farmers’ Market . . .

1. Supports local farmers and the local economy.
2. Reduces pollution and fuel—our fruits and veggies are grown in California.  Several of our vendors are in the Napa Valley.
3. Supports growers who respect the environment and protect our natural resources.
4. Means you are buying really fresh produce (many of our farmers pick the day they come to market)—which makes it more nutritious.
5. Helps protect our farming heritage with heirloom varieties.
6. Offers diversity in produce.  You’ll find many items not available in local supermarkets. 
7. Means you will spend less because you are buying locally grown, seasonal produce.
8. Gives you an excuse to meet friends and neighbors for coffee and pastries.
