The Wright Stuff

The Marin County Farmers Market in San Rafael, California is a visit to the gods of produce. On a clear day you can see the best radishes forever. On a cloudy day the coffee is terrific and the Farmer’s Wife sandwich wins the prize for the best sandwich of 2012. They not only sell the most amazing fresh produce but, scattered throughout, are artists and artisans of various ilk. Also, the porta-potties are the most luxurious I’ve ever had the pleasure to potty in. This farmers market is held on Thursdays in the parking lot of the Marin County Civic Center, which consists of four structures designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that was completed in 1976. The juxtaposition of the buildings and the market couldn’t be more compatible; strangely so…but so.
