Redwood Valley CFM

Redwood Valley CFM sits within a wider Mendocino County farm network that includes support from the USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program, a partner tied to MCFARM’s New Farmers’ Guide. In Redwood Valley, that network shows up as a Sunday market at Lion's Club Park, where shoppers can move between prepared food, baked goods, farm products, crafts, and practical services in one stop. The market runs at 8920 East Rd from June through October, giving Redwood Valley a defined summer-to-fall window for weekly shopping.

Why it matters locally

MCFARM organizes Redwood Valley CFM as part of its effort to provide low-overhead, cooperatively run marketplaces for vegetables, fruits, and related agricultural products grown and produced in Mendocino and nearby counties. That purpose matters here because the Redwood Valley market is not a standalone pop-up; it is one of the certified markets MCFARM coordinates across the region to support direct marketing under California regulations.

The local structure is visible in who runs it and where it happens. Amanda Fairall is listed as the market manager for Redwood Valley, while the market itself is held at Lion's Club Park in town. The season also concentrates activity into Sundays from June through October, giving producers and shoppers a recurring weekly outlet during the main growing months.

What you'll find there

Redwood Valley CFM mixes ready-to-eat food with bakery stalls, farm-linked products, handmade goods, and a few service vendors, so the market reads as a weekly shopping stop rather than a produce-only row. That range is especially visible in the contrast between snacks and sweets, lavender and woodwork, and phone repair and knife sharpening.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, and restrooms are not available on site, two details that can change how you plan a Sunday visit. Redwood Valley CFM is held at Lion's Club Park, with the market address listed as 8920 East Rd. The schedule is compact—Sunday from 9:30am to 12:30pm, June through October—so this is a morning market with a defined seasonal run rather than an all-day event. Amanda Fairall is listed as the Redwood Valley market manager, and Julie Apostolu is listed with the association office contact information.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Redwood Valley CFM, a useful detail for shoppers planning food purchases at the market. Payment methods are listed clearly for visitors, and MCFARM materials also reference EBT/SNAP and Market Match in its bookkeeping and budget materials, showing that food-access programs are part of the market system it runs.
