Markets Continued… GOLDEN DELICIOUS IN SONORA Known as ‘The Queen of the Southern Mines,’ Sonora is a charming historic gold rush city in Tuolumne County, and gateway to Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest. The farming community is diverse ranging from beef and poultry, to Christmas trees and flowers, apples and fruits, vegetables and olive oils. Wine and cider tasting, farm tours and farm-to-table fare are all part of the Tuolumne County experience. Located in the historic downtown district, the Sonora Certified Farmer’s Market rolls out on Saturday mornings (mid-May to midOctober) with a variety of local produce, flowers, artisan foods and live music.
