Sure, there’s the sunshine, fog and fresh ocean air. But there’s also a certain sense of wildness that makes everything grown in and around Fort Bragg taste so much better. The North Coast has long been home to farmsteaders intent on keeping things close to the earth. Hand grown. Compassionately raised. Call it “Small Ag,” but just don’t call us late to a delicious, locally-harvested dinner.
Fort Bragg Farmers Market
Every Wednesday in Downtown Fort Bragg this market features local, seasonal produce, free-range meats and eggs, wild-caught local seafood and so much more. Try the organic mushrooms from the Forest People, naturally leavened sourdough from Pelican Bread, wild-crafted kombucha from Wilder Ferments, and bring home a plant from Fort Bragg Carnivores as a keepsake.
Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens
This nonprofit botanical escape is a place to play, to contemplate, to learn, to relax, to touch, to smell, to feel, to enjoy, to be inspired, and to experience the simple joy and beauty of life. Come by on the first Saturday of every month for Mendocino Coast Audubon Beginner Walks.
Nye Ranch
Now in the careful care of Shea Burns and Matt Thurston, Nye Ranch provides local, sustainable produce that works in harmony with the soil and sea.
Fortunate Farms
Fortunate Farm is an inter-generational family farm that grows heirloom vegetables and flowers with sincere care for the land and soil. Among the many sustainable practices, Fortunate Farms composts spent grain from the North Coast Brewing Co.
Noyo Food Forest
The Learning Garden at Noyo Food Forest is a one-acre garden located on the Fort Bragg High School campus with a mission to cultivate a healthy local food system by creating opportunities for Mendocino Coast youth and community to learn about, grow, and access sustainably grown, garden-fresh foods. Produce from the garden is harvested and delivered to the local school nutrition services, food bank, senior center and our online farmstand orders.
