Just an hour north of SF in Marin County is one of our favorite getaways. It involves generous quantities of oysters and cheese. Get involved. (Warning: this post contains some pretty sweet oyster porn.)

Festival-goers swarmed Golden Gate Park this weekend at San Francisco’s Outside Lands to soak in some world-class music, chow down on some local and diverse eats, and bask in the abnormally warm weather.

About 50 miles north of SF, nestled away in Marshall, CA, is a treasure trove full of riches from the sea. "X" marks the spot at the Hog Island Oyster Farm. The jewels you'll find are the sweetest, most succulent oysters harvested from the pristine waters of Tomales Bay.
