Santa Cruz Farmers Markets

Five generations of the Casalegno Family have lived on this beautiful site in the hills of Soquel, and the farm has been family owned and in operation since 1916.

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.

Delicious Crepes is a relatively new business that was registered in February 2008. However, the unique menu had been developed over the past 10 years during which were spent serving the farmers' market communities under a different company name formerly known as Nina's Kitchen.
