Santa Rosa’s Original Certified Farmers Market was established in 1967. It was founded by Paul Mancini, Bob Cannard, Charles and Kay Stark. It was just the four farmers; there were no crafters or vendors of specialty foods. Kay Stark and her daughter Ami are still seasonal vendors known for their striking fresh flower bouquets. All of the flowers are grown on their property in Santa Rosa. California began its certified market program in 1979 and the Santa Rosa Market was among the first in the state to become a certified market. The market prides itself on showcasing the diversity of Sonoma County. There are about 85 vendors currently and a waiting list.
Our fish vendors are not required to catch all their own fish, but they must tell the customer where the fish is caught and whether it is farmed or wild.
If you would like to be a vendor, please download the application (link lower right-hand corner of the home page.) Bring the application and a sample of what you would like to sell and meet the market manager Wednesday or Saturday at the market
Prepared food vendors must meet Sonoma County Health Department requirements for the preparation and sales of food ,including use of a commercial kitchen.
Get to know the farmers and ranchers. If you want to know about the food you eat, ask the people who grew it. Our producers represent the diversity of our local farming community.
