Reviews for: Ferry Plaza Farmers Market

I believe in supporting hard working individuals and families ... in their entrepreneurial endeavors ... providing what matters in healthy lifestyle.

This comprehensive market has something for everyone, promotes education on local environmental issues, and has re-invigorated a languishing part of downtown. The Ferry Plaza Market rocks!

Terrific displays and wonderful products for shoppers. Atmosphere is so inviting and tastes are given for some of the vege/fruit. Huge market with a good variety of fresh vege/fruit. Well displayed , plenty to see. We go from Vallejo ferry and it is so enjoyable each week. There are art fanciers not far from the market of fresh vege/fruit/ and various fresh products that make you want to come weekly : )

As much as I like the City atmosphere, I love the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market! Not only does it provide fresh organic produce, but there are so many friendly and hardworking merchants who travel from around the Bay Area. Not only can you find produce, you can find entertainment with lively music, colorful artwork and affordable fashions and finds. There's a mix of sophistication as well as ecclectic aura whenever I shop at this Bay Area treat.

because I believe in using locally grown, seasonal food produced by area growers

The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market has the most amazing cornucopia of fresh produce and local foods! The farmers are always incredibly helpful and eager to educate the public on ways to cook with their foods. Also, the remodeled Ferry Building is just gorgeous and one of San Francisco's jewels that attracts both tourists and locals.

The taste, the texture, the color--the pure sensual experience of the food products in this market is unsurpassed. The farmers are happy to explain and suggest different ways to prepare their diverse products.

Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market is one of my favorite places in the world and I want to see it continue to thrive and grow!

Great producers, great products, great people, great place. And three times a week means three times the awesome!

love supporting local farmers, and love that it reduces my carbon footprint when i buy local.

Diversity of products, great location, fresh & unusual produce, and really wonderful vendors.

Fresh produce, friendly merchants, variety of merchandise and produce and beautiful views all around!

It's probably the largest Farmer's Market in the city. Also CUESA, the org that runs the Ferry Plaza FM, couples the market with great educational programming that create a richer experience.

I used to work there for Ports Seafood. I think its just about the Best Market around !! Love the people ...Love the vibe !!

The variety of food, the Roti chicken truck, with the Ferry Building stores and location make this the best market. Oh and the variety of people buying and selling!

always the freshest local produce, much of it organic, and the bounty of offerings and prices can't be beat!

They always have a wide selection of local fruits and veggies, and some great prepared foods and coffees that are delicious!

great selection, lots of farm products, top quality, fun for browsing or shopping, super for gifts.

I love the freshness and the diverse selection. It is convenient and easy to plan my menus around the produce that is offered. I love the Ferry Building Farmers Market!!

It is so colorful and just plain fun!! It is also one of the few places I can still find "regular" size artichokes; so many markets only carry the "global" or very large size which I don't like.

Variety, big selection, great tasting produce, wonderful lavendar, and lots of yummy breakfast options

close to work, open multiple times per week and has great stuff from friendly people.

Not only is the produce some of the best of the Bay Area, but the location of the gorgeous Ferry building makes this such a wonderful and exciting farmers market to visit.

The Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market is where my family get almost ALL of our weekly groceries.

Fresh local food, wonderful restaurants and spectacular views! It doesn't get better.

This landmark market is a major food and culture event. It has become seen by some as too high end and elitist. The prices can be high, yet the quality is always several steps above anything else. The vibe of the market is most often welcoming and engaging. IT brings people and food and health together, naturally.

What a great way to know your local farmer! We are so lucky to live here. I've lived here for 45 years and am thrilled with how the Ferry Building has been transformed. Color me happy. I can't be mad at the throngs of tourists for loving my home.

A great place to get all your produce and more, along with supporting local farmers. It has become a regular weekend social event to go to the market, then enjoy the weekly cooking class.

It is a joyous occasion not just a place. The Market inspires the community to come together every week and revel in the beauty of wonderful food and the San Francisco Bay.

For the past six years I have only shopped here and introduced visiting friends and family to the delights of buying from and supporting their own area's farmers market. Quality not quantity; respect for my body and soul; responsibility towards your local community and the world in general; sustainability and supporting these local growers and not large corporations are my reasons why I support all my local farmers markets!

This market has a huge selection of the best produce, cheese, meat, nuts and anything else you could possibly want to eat. Each stall is carefully labeled with information about the farm/producer so you know EXACTLY what you are getting and where it came from. No need to ask the farmer if he uses pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, it's clearly posted at his booth. This market also has wonderful cooking demos every week and an amazing e-newsletter complete with recipes for seasonal produce that I continue to enjoy even though I moved away from SF nearly a year ago. I miss my bi-weekly trips to the Ferry Plaza Market!

The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is not only a great market for locals, but a reason for visitors to come to San Francisco!

I've been going to the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market since before it was at the Ferry Plaza bldg and it is still the best one I've ever been too. I've visited Farmers Markets all over the country, including LA, Santa Monica, NYC, Washington, etc . . . . and none can come close to the breadth and quality of foods available at the FPFM. Even after traveling all over Asia and Europe the FPFM is always the place I look forward to getting back to first whenever I return. It's Awesome!

They are on the cutting edge of waste reduction measures!!! Compost bins at the Market!!! Ban on plastic bags!!! These are revolutionary and yet so simple.

It's the best place to buy fresh produce and more. The vendors are great, knowledgeable and dependable. You just can't beat the taste of fresh produce that hasn't been shipped half way around the country. The farmers take pride in their hard work and I'd rather have them reap the profits than some grocery store. It's also a great place to occasionally see TV chefs and personalities. The best part is seeing local chefs, week after week, buying their produce from the same vendors as me. The flavor of the fresh produce says it all -- you just don't get those flavors from the grocery store.

great food and great recipes and newsletter for when I'm eating out of my backyard garden. great for green attitudes for holistically healthy living.

I love everything about the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. The vendors are friendly and the product is always the finest.

The top quality, diversity and cleanliness of the market and products. It's an outing to ride the bart to the city and feast your eyes and stomach on new and interesting products as well as enjoying the golden oldies. Thank you

I love to cook and eat good, healthy, sustainably grown food. I will never be a farmer, but want to support them anyway I can.

It's got great variety, huge abundance, friendly vendors, and a beautiful location along the San Francisco Bay

I get to San francisco twice a year and I always make sure I arrive early on saturday to get to the Fantastic Ferry Plaza Farmer Market. I enjoy the fresh drip coffee and the wonderful pork Sandwich they are just to live for, I really envy the farmer market you got there as here in Canada we have to get so many crafter as we do not have the weather or the variety of farm you get in the states even if I love my Whistler and Vancouver Farmer Market I just adore the Ferry terminal in San Francisco. see you in September and then in January for the Fancy food show.

The quality of the food is extraordinary. The vendors look me in the eye and say "Good Morning".

Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market is truly five star! There are many not to be missed "treats", such as pullet eggs from Stan at Petaluma Farms; fragrant basil and super sweet onions from Chue Moua; colorful peppers from Happy Quail; pears and peaches from Al at Frog Hollow; international and raw milk cheeses from Sue and Nan at Cowgirl; and heirloom beans from Steve at Rancho Gordo. We do all of our shopping--except for cleaning supplies and paper goods--at the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market.

What's there not to love! The food is fresh and plentiful - beautiful - fruits & veggies & breads & cheese & wine & eggs & pasta - we have it all. The farmers give plenty of samples, and are ready to answer all my silly, naive questions. I only wish I could go every day!

love the variety of amazing local organic year-round offerings, emphasis on sustainability, supporting local growers, etc.

Everything is fresh. Love the fresh Acme bread. We have our favorite place to breakfast before shopping.

Friendly people serious about safe, sustainable, tasty food: veggies, fish, meat, cheese; one stop shopping. Plus lovely SF Bay views.

I love the freshness of the produce and the number of farms that are organic. We need to support our farmers, because without them there would be no food to ear!

Extraordinary produce, knowledgable vendors, great energy and a breath taking back drop.

It's so lively and vibrant! I can't imagine anywhere else having a better experience!

With the thousands of tourists that come through San Francisco, the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market serves as an important resource for people to learn about sustainable food - whether it be for the first or nth time.

For the delicious food, of course! I also believe in voting with my wallet and shopping at farmer's markets is my ideal way to do so. I am so in awe of farmers and what they produce, thank you farmers and thank you CUESA!

Here you will find some of the best organic sustainably farmed non-GMO produce on the planet Earth.

It's the biggest farmer's market in the city and the location is just beautiful. We go and have breakfast and look up at the Bay Bridge and out at the Bay. In addition, you always see local chefs picking out their produce for that evening.

Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is a great place to buy local, sustainable produce, to meet friends and celebrate the natural beauty of the Bay Area. It did a lot to educate me about alternatives to industrial agriculture.

Because I feel very good about knowing exactly where my food comes from. It's my church, and hardly ever miss a service!!

We used to live in San Francisco but now live in Nevada. We always plan our trips to the city so we can attend at least one of the Ferry Plaza Markets. Now that so many of the places we enjoy have a spot in the building or at the market it is a way for us to get a one stop fix!....Taylors' Refresher from St. Helena, Frog Hollow Farms from Brentwood, The Gardner from Berkley, etc. The best produce, delicious food, exspansive variey of products, great newsletter, ever evolving markets, very green and all at a wonderful, bayside location. Love and devotion by many folks, in many ways are obvious every time we are there.

Buy local and seasonal! What better way to understand where you food comes from than to talk to the people who grow it.

The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is listed as the best or one of the best in Farmers Market to visit by all the world wide foodie publications for a reason. The location, the products, the farmers/sellers and the Ferry Building itself is second to none!

Our FPFM has a fabulous mix of products and friendly merchants. Nibbling and shopping for fresh and organic products is one of the best things to do in San Francisco--a city that does not lack for entertainment!

It's a fabulous market, with great produce and food product, always with the emphasis on sustainable practices in all aspects of growing, marketing, point-of-sale, and last, but certainly not least, education of how to understand biodiversity, safely prepare and dispose of all aspects of your purchase.

Where else can you purchase fresh food from people who love it and look out over the Bay Bridge? There's great food to eat, music, and lots of happy people. Last week, there were huge piles of the most fragrant lavender - fantastic!

I love that all of the market vendors are organic or pesticide free, local, and striving for sustainability. The waste wise program that encourages market-goers to recycle and compost most of what is purchased at the market is ground-breaking, as is the ban on plastic bags. Most importantly, the California bay area is blessed with an incredible bounty of fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and more all throughout the year.

It has everything! Delicious produce, cheeses, meats, breads, Oyster Po Boys, I go every Saturday I'm in town. And, CUESA is a great organization, they always come up with new ideas to be greener. And, the people watching is fabulous and the view of East Bay, Bay Bridge and the darn bay itself can't be beat.

Awesome restoration of historic structure creates ideal venue for out-of-town visitors. Amazing bay views and fine food at indoor stalls and restaurants. Farmer's market is visual and taste nirvana. What could be better?

I am a frequent visitor to San Francisco and love the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. I work to support initiatives in my city for farm to table and farm to school projects. I think that the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is a wonderful place for people to learn about sustainability and food security.

To me this is absolutely the best location. Not only do they offer an abundant variety of fresh fruits and veggies, they got flowers, jams, baked goods, and much much more! It's at the heart of San Francisco and got some much going on in this area. Walking distant to the EC shopping center, park, watch the ferries pull in or just take stroll along the Embarcadero. Take in the scenic view, breathe the fresh air, and relax. This is the best location for a farmer's market.

It has such a wide variety from the local farms, it has been my favorite since moving to Northern California. My favorite, which you didn't offer, will always be the one in Pasadena held at the high school every Sat. Their fruits and vegetables were soooooo good!

OMG, the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market has more selection than you can possibly imagine. It is a beehive of wonderful food (or to be food), smells, buzz, human enjoyment and a great time.

This is the most beautiful Farmers Market and it has a wonderful choice of healthy and delicious food.

I love the Ferry Plaza Farmers market because not only does it give me the ability to support local farmers and make it easy for me to pick up fresh, healthy goodies, but it also celebrates San Francisco.

I go there weekly, love the merchants who are permanent vendors, and find the Tues. farmers' market offerings incomparable. There is simply no place like this place.

The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is like no other! I shopped there often when I lived in the city. I now live in AZ and miss the selection of top quality and unique foods.

We have been going to the market for over 20 years and we love supporting local farmers and being in a beautiful place every week -- sometimes twice a week.

We drive in from Antioch once a month and have a wonderful day enjoying the atmosphere and bringing home great organic produce, meat and local products. We have lived in the Bay area for three years and are thrilled to be here and have such a quality market available to us. This is our way of supporting what is important to us and contributing in a broader way to the health of our planet.

Our whole week is more joyful after bringing home the amazing, fresh, delicious beets, corn, salad greens, collard greens, eggs, humus, herbs, bread, peaches, berries and whatever else. Each meal is exciting!

Lots of great local, sustainable & organic produce, meat, dairy & prepared foods!

yummy food, great atmosphere, good info available-- Oh and it's a sunnier part of the city.

I love the communal feeling the market brings. The farmers are always so friendly.

The best organic produce and prepared foods Â? fresh and fun! I go several times a week. The farmers are continually growing and introducing new varieties and flavors. It's a real treat.

It's a great place to spend my food budget and I know I'm getting the freshest and best food available.

It's the best way to spend a Saturday morning. It brings locals and visitors together and provides organic, delicious food.

Because I can buy delicious locally grown organic and sustainable food and support local farmers at the same time.

San Francisco's Ferry Plaza Farmers Market has by far the best selection of produce I've seen at any market I've visited around the world. I feel so lucky I can visit it on a weekly basis!

It is amazing! The opportunity to purchase an abundant unique fruits and vegetables growing locally is bliss. I love the fact I am able to try something new every week since I have been going. This is the best market around due to the variety of incredible farmers.

Its provides a chance to live healthy and also support local farmers by choosing to buy produce locally and fresh in season.

fresh organic unique produce. Every week I find something new. month of june - candy cot apricots; mid-june to mid-july different varieties of blueberries every week. last week was the first arrival of outdoor grown heirloom tomatos, mostly the yellow varieties such as taxi but if I got there early enough, I could have gotten some black prince tomatoes. Currently, I'm enjoying some fresh dark oak honey, and fresh capping honey. In late July, early August I expect to be enjoying champagne grapes. The same applies to the fall, winter, and spring months. I know the vendors and their produces and when to expect the different varieties. I never would have been aware of this cornucopia of food and flavors if it hadn't been for the SF Ferry Building market. And I've been to many farmer's markets across Canada and the U.S.

Rain or shine it's the best farmers market in the country because of the diversity and quality of the produce and value added items. Not to mention the spectacular location on the San Francisco bay.

Supporting sustainable local farmers. It's simply fabulous! I take chefs from the company I work for on tour and family. I try to turn everyone I know into foodies:)

What's not to love? Fresh. Local. Organic. Sustainable. All on the shore of the Bay, just blissful! :-D A big thank YOU to all our farmers!!!

Amazing variety; love sampling new things fresh from the farms; it's like vicarious country living. I always buy more than I can eat. It's an exciting outing each week that makes me grateful to live in this city.

The outstanding variety and quality of produce available at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market inspires my cooking. I bring every visitor to the SF Bay Area to this market and watch as mouths drop. Even visitors from New York and Germany (who have access to their own fine farmers markets) marvel at the abundance and quality. You are the # 1 reason I drive into SF on the weekends. Thanks!

You get the freshest produce and the sweetest fruit from the most educated and dedicated vendors!

This market is the best I've ever been to. The quality of the ingredients is off-the-charts and it's great getting to know your local farmers.

This is the best farmer's market in the country. The bounty of the Bay area is not to be surpassed!

Great vendors; beautiful venue; very progressive in environmental and agriculture issues

Wonderful variety, exceptional offerings in a special setting...my favorite market and totally worth the BART ride up from the Peninsula and the limitations of market shopping using public transportation!

Many local farmers PLUS outposts of local restaurants and bakery. Especiallly since it is on the shore of the San Francisco Bay!

It is the best---I take the Ferry from my home in Sonoma just to pick up the many treasures they have to offer

This is the biggest, best farmers market there is - so many options and tasty snacks to enjoy while you shop.
