Hot weather came and scorched the Bay Area this weekend, which to me is a clear sign that summer is coming soon. There’s great debate about which season is our personal favorites here among some of us on the communications team, though really are there truly any *real* seasons in the Bay Area? My friends from Wisconsin and Canada have a good chuckle when I talk about my love of Bay Area “winters.”
One thing we can agree on is that sunnier weather has us itching to head to our local farmers’ markets to catch some rays, hear some live music and pick up locally grown produce. This discussion got us thinking: how many of these local markets are easily accessible via Caltrain and SamTrans? We did a little research and found that many, many, many are!
