Willits CFM

Willits CFM is part of the Mendocino County Farmers Market Association, the cooperative that runs certified farmers markets across Mendocino and adjacent counties. In Willits, that translates into a Thursday market at 100 State St with a mix of agricultural producers, prepared food vendors, plant sellers, and craft makers. The lineup includes names like New Homestead Farm/Mendocino Lavender, Dragon Solar Farm, and Bee the Change Microfarm alongside ready-to-eat stops such as Little Stacks Mini Pancakes and Huck’s Sliderhouse LLC. SNAP/EBT is accepted here, which makes this downtown stop useful for both routine grocery shopping and prepared-food pickups.

Why it matters locally

The Mendocino County Farmers Market Association states that its purpose is to provide low-overhead, cooperatively run marketplaces for vegetables, fruits, and related agricultural products grown and produced in Mendocino and nearby counties. It also says those certified farmers markets are strategically located to encourage and support direct marketing of locally grown and produced agricultural products under California direct-marketing regulations. Willits CFM sits within that countywide structure rather than operating as a stand-alone event, linking this market to a broader local system that includes CalFresh, EBT, WIC, SNAP Advantage, and Market Match partners. That local emphasis shows up in the vendor roster, where farms, food businesses, and makers appear side by side under the same market umbrella.

What you'll find there

The Willits roster spans several distinct lanes: agricultural products, prepared foods, crafts, meats and cheese, and nurseries and plants. That makes this a market where produce-oriented shopping can overlap with a meal stop, a plant purchase, or a look through local handmade work.
