San Francisco Flower & Garden Show Don't forget, the Eat Real Festival starts today, and guess what? They have a new app that can help YOU eat real every day...that's so cool!

The Eat Real Guide utilizes GPS to locate farmers markets acrossh the state of California. The easiest way to support the local food community is to buy directly from the farmers, ensuring the freshest produce possible. The Eat Real Guide will find a farmers market near you.
