In the fruit and veggie cornucopia that is California, local farmers markets sell everything from brandywine tomatoes and lemon cucumbers to hedgehog mushrooms and fresh medjool dates. But no farmers market can match the selection of the one in the Mendocino County town of Laytonville, which offers, among other things, an ample supply of heirloom cannabis.
Admittedly, this is not a typical farmers market. It takes place just once a year, at a hippie enclave replete with UFO murals and Ganesh shrines, and only certified medical marijuana patients may enter (though there’s a doctor on site to help with that). But it does offer the spectacle of actual farmers selling their own produce and pot side by side.
Emily Hobelmann of the Lost Coast Outpost visited last year and was wowed by the selection:
All told, I saw squash and apples and pears and peppers and world-class cannabis flowers. I saw leeks and tomatoes, peaches and dab rigs. I saw picked beans and marijuana clones, carrots and cold water hash.
If you happen to be up that way, you can stop by between 11 a.m. and 4:20 p.m. next Saturday.
