Are you looking for a safe, affordable, and healthy option for celebrating the holidays this year?
We are collaborating with Santa Barbara County farmers markets, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and Edible Santa Barbarato celebrate this season, while supporting our local farmers, ranchers, fisherfolk, and food artisans during the pandemic. Together, we have created a “Stay Home (and Eat Local) for the Holidays” Shopping Guide, which includes in-season recipes by Edible Santa Barbara to plan your fresh, beautiful and nutritious holiday meal. The guide also features suggested budgets based on the size of your small gathering; sample menus with basic preparations; and a shopping list with an easy to follow market map to use at your local farmers market!
Check in at the farmers market info booth and grab a shopping guide (or download a guide in English or Español) – includes suggested budgets for small gatherings, sample menu, shopping list with easy-to-follow market map, and recipes by Edible Santa Barbara magazine.
Explore the market and discover delicious and affordable in-season produce to showcase on your holiday table.
Ask farmers market staff if you need assistance finding an ingredient, or want advice on recipes or substitutions.
Enjoy a locally sourced holiday meal with your household.
No matter what you decide to make, you’ll be supporting our local food system while feeding your household a fresh and nutritious meal! From our table to yours – stay home, be safe, and eat well this holiday season.
