Sebastopol Farmers Market’s Honor the Gravenstein Apple Celebration

Dominique Cortara

Slow Food Russian River’s own Dominique Cortara will be making her famous Gravenstein Apple Pies for this Sunday’s Market.   

Have a piece and if you want to take home an entire pie for yourself you can order one by emailing dominique@dominiquesweets.com.

Dominique is the owner of Dominique’s Sweets. She says that her mission is to provide an out of this world experience to her customers when they bite into beautiful, affordable and wholesome products, made by hand and from local ingredients.

Dominique’s Sweets supports our community, our local farmers and our local producers so we can become economically independent as we follow our dreams. Her apple pies fit our Apple Press at the Sebastopol Farmers Market beautifully.

Don’t miss Paula Downing’s interview with Dominique. Paula is the semi-retired market manager at the Sebastopol Farmers Market. We recommend you like the market on Facebook.
