The San Francisco Bay Area is rich in its culinary options thanks to its many farms across Sonoma, the Central Valley, and surrounding areas, talented chefs, as well as access to fresh seafood including crab, oysters and more.

One can find some type of food festival happening any time of the year drawing folks from all over the world. While many parts of the country ships food across the country, we have our pick of fresh produce, local dairies & fish in our backyard.
