For Harvest Market's team

Is this your place?

Welcome, Harvest Market. We'll walk through this together, one item at a time. To log the fixes, claim Harvest Market first; we check that you run it.

Your whole team can help. Each person gets one next step, and everyone can see what's done.

This is my place: claim Harvest Market

We'll help you get every item done. You don't have to do it alone.

We know an inspection can feel heavy, especially when it's busy.

  1. Fix it together

    Follow the steps for each item, with the rule beside it.

  2. Log it

    Your team logs the fix on their phones, with the time and who did it.

  3. Show what you did

    Saying what you fixed, in your own words, builds trust. Families and regulars respect a kitchen that owns it and fixes it.

Each fix step comes from our free guides, built on the FDA Food Code your state uses.

    • Ensure that all refrigerators and freezers are in good working order. Noted dripping and icing problems in several units, mainly walk-ins. The walk-in freezer by the Sushi Savor station in the meat department has significant icing issues and the seal/gaskets around the door (at the top and bottom) must be repaired so that a seal is achieved. Disrepair allows for mop water to enter floor of unit and appears to contribute to/cause the icing issue inside the unit. Another walk-in freezer by the restrooms (Hussmann, has yellow slippery when wet sign on it) has a significant icing issue and the door doesn't seal. At the seafood and chicken walk-in freezer, there is a lot of pooling water around the grates in the floor at the entry. The door on one deli refrigerator unit is extremely hard to open. At the upright freezers between the deli and freezer, the 4th door requires repair. In the meat dept., the butcherblock table is pitted and has geep grooves with black staining. Potential for contamination of food. Resurface or replace.

About this record

Search the county's inspection lookup for the name or license number L10528.

Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.

Marin County gives each inspection a result, not a score, so there is no typical range to show.

Marin County posts a green, yellow or red placard after an inspection, and gives no score. In the county's own inspection data, inspectors write "Green (Pass) placard posted" and "a yellow placard is posted due to the multiple major violations observed". We could not read a county page that lists what each color needs, so ask the department.
