Willits CFM

Willits CFM operates within the Mendocino County Farmers Market network, which includes support from the Community Foundation of Mendocino County. In Willits, the Thursday market shifts between Willits City Park at Humboldt and State Street during April through November and Little Lake Grange on School Street during December through March. That seasonal move gives the market a two-part rhythm: an outdoor run centered on the park and an indoor winter stretch that keeps the weekly gathering going year-round. The mix extends beyond farm staples to prepared food, crafts, and live music on Thursdays.

Why it matters locally

MCFARM’s stated 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 organizes certified farmers markets across Mendocino and adjacent counties to support direct marketing of locally grown and produced agricultural products under California direct marketing regulations. In Willits, that countywide framework shows up as a weekly Thursday market that brings together produce, meat, cheese, eggs, honey, locally produced crafts, and live music in one place. The result is a market tied both to regional farm sales and to a recurring local gathering in Willits.

What you'll find there

Thursday in Willits combines farm products named by the market itself with a notably broad prepared-foods-and-crafts bench.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is one of the clearest visit rules to plan around. The market’s location changes with the season: outdoors at Willits City Park, at Humboldt and State Street, from April through November, and indoors at Little Lake Grange, 291 School St., during December through March. Thursday service begins at 3pm, with the posted closing time listed as 5 or 6pm in December. Restrooms are not available on the market’s visit details. For direct questions, the listed market contact is Julie Apostolu, with a phone number and email for MCFARM.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Willits CFM. MCFARM’s materials also track EBT, SNAP, and Market Match in its bookkeeping and income summaries, which places food-access payments within the organization’s regular operating picture. Payment methods are listed clearly for visitors, giving shoppers a firmer sense of how to plan purchases at the market.
