Santa Cruz Farmers Markets

Hans hoped to focus his thorough knowledge into a service that he could provide to his community in order to share in and spread seafood appreciation for all of its many health benefits and limitless culinary making ecologically sound choices when it comes to selecting their seafood. In 2003 he found his niche at the local farmers markets, when he & Heidi began selling his own local salmon catch. They also then got licensing to be able to purchase fish directly from local hook-and-line fishermen. Since then they have grown to include 18 markets per week and now are also enjoying taking on additional ventures with their new CSS program and even doing Oyster Bar Catering at parties, weddings, festivals, and events.

The Garcias impressively run JCG farm (which sells at SCCFM markets) and the Tía Beré Mexican Kitchen from which they serve delicious tamales, tacos, chiles rellenos, tostadas, sopes, quesadillas, tortillas, salsas, and more as one of the fine food artisans in our prepared food section. We are so fortunate to have them in our membership with one hand in organic agriculture and the other in a rich culinary tradition.
