State Gardens: This stand specializes in selling both vegetables and flowers. "Not many markets have this unique combination," said owner Art Hollinger.

Sonoma Farms: Not one to purchase food before trying it first? At the Sonoma Farms stand, Dominic Senese allows customers to sample some of the pasta sauces that they sell. "There are very few competitors that flavor their olive oils, and have a whole Italian product line like we do," Senese said.

Nature's Pasture sells 100% grass-fed beef and pork, so customers get to eat meat from cows 'the way they were meant to be raised,' according to owner Jim Manser. "Chicken and pork are allowed to roam humanely, and you can just taste the difference in the meat," Manser said.
