Robbie Sigona is our produce buyer. He works with local farmers and scours the market for the very best in fresh fruits and vegetables — some you won’t find anywhere else.
Locally-grown arugula from San Juan Bautista down to Salinas is available from April-November.
Fresh arugula should be all green. A light green is ok, but avoid yellow leaves.
Arugula is extremely delicate and should be used within a day or two of purchase.
Keep refrigerated (stored with a damp paper towel) until you eat.
If you rinse the arugula, be sure to remove as much moisture as possible before adding to a salad or tossing with a vinaigrette.
Learn from the pro with more than 50 years experience in the produce industry!

Sigona's Farmers Market is celebrating 50 years in business in 2025. We started out as a series of small roadside fruit stands in Morgan Hill, Calif., and moved up to Redwood City on the San Francisco Peninsula 1984. We're grateful for our loyal customers for all the support and hope to see you Saturday, June 21, as we continue celebrating our 50th year!
