Hog Island Oysters

Want to escape from the hustle and bustle of ordinary life? If getting away for the weekend is out of the question opt for a day-escape. Surprise your fiancé by leaving early and arriving home late and squeezing in an entertaining fun adventure in between. Here is a perfect idea for a romantic day away.
Hog Island Oysters, Point Reyes – This one-of-a-kind family owned and operated sustainable shellfish company, located in Napa (Oxbow Public Market) and San Francisco (Ferry Building) has merged the art of raising quality seafood with customer-direct high quality food service. However, this ultimate farm-to-plate oyster experience offers a unique experience at their Oyster Farm on Highway One along the Sonoma Coast, in the town of Marshall. www.hogislandoysters.com
Eat:
Hog Island raises Pacific (aka Hog Island Sweetwater), Kumamoto and Atlantic oysters as well as Manila Clams and Mussels all farmed in the beautiful, clean waters of Tomales Bay, CA. The farm offers to-go oyster sales and a seaside picnic area. Make a reservation in advance, especially for the weekends, and you will be provided with a bay-side picnic table and grill. You can bring your own grill-friendly foods and pick up hot sauce, a local barbeque sauce, mesquite charcoal briquettes, and ice from the farm. Stop by to belly up to the oyster bar with no-reservation where they also serve beer and wine.
Do:
Besides driving the scenic Hwy One explore the Point Reyes Lighthouse and hike the Chimney Rock Trails in the area. Most hiking in the area offers breath-taking Pacific Ocean views and are moderately easy. www.nps.gov
See:
Stay to watch the splendid sunset along the blue endless Pacific Ocean. Not only is it romantic but a must-see for any couple together. www.sunrisesunset.com

Anti-Brides, get your Indie on. SF-Indie Mart, that is. My compatriot and fab jewelry gal pal, Sheryl Gould of Rockcandydesign.com (who blinged-out our runway models in rocker Anti-Bride style at the Operation Aisle Style W-SF) is back again with her creations at this one of a kind event. Fabulously talented artisans from all over our fair, fog-bound city will bring their wares to delight and dazzle you. Beers, baubles, and bands, what more provocation do you need. Ask the cute Mish boy with the hair falling over one  eye which necklace you should buy – and you could be well on your way to a galloping romance. Hit it!

The Indie Mart is hitting the street again Sunday July 18th, from 12-6pm. We got over 90 vendors bringing you the best makers, designers, vintage, handmade unique goodies, art, baked treats and much more. Tons of interactive vendors offering customization or showing you how it’s made. About a third of our vendors are new, keeping to our promise of new vendors from all over Cali & SF.

We also have more DIY! Thanks to all of you who loved up on our woodland creature terrariums. This Indie Mart you can make your own terrarium, make pie in a jar to take home & bake OR you can sew up & create your own Sock Monster with help from WorkshopSF. We also got Broke Ass Crafts with Broke Ass Stuart with all kinds of fun dirt cheap crafts to make. We’re also welcoming Forage SF who host the underground farmers market, who are bringing a few rad vendors with them. San Franpsycho live printing out their badass milktruck. Besides our usual standby’s on stiff drinks, cheap beers & fresh BBQ food from thee Parkside… We got a life size terrarium where you can hang out, drink some beers & kick it with the gnomes, deer and relax. PBR’s forest right next to it, where you can hang out and get some sweet PBR giveaways..did someone say a tallboy sleeping bag?! Puppies & kittens for adoption from WonderDog.
