"On Saturdays, the small town features the Healdsburg Farmer's Market, where cooking demonstrations highlight seasonal ingredients. But Healdsburg also offers visitors a more hands-on appreciation of the fresh market fare.

It puts a whole new spin on a day at the market." Dig Into Culinary Delight, More of Healdsburg by Carol Blackman of the Contra Costa Time and San Jose Mercury News
