June 2010 . Farmer's Market Produce
My love for farmers’ markets knows no bounds. Anyone who knows me, knows that food has a special place in my heart. Fortunately, I live in a great city that offers a wealth of food outlets–restaurants, shops, markets, festivals, and organizations. I’ve been on a road to discovery lately–checking out various local farmers’ markets. Each holds unique treasures that the other doesn’t offer, but all are equally special. I love surrounding myself around so much fresh produce, artisan breads, cheeses, and yogurts. And the people. It’s their knowledge and genuine friendly spirit that adds to the overall ambiance and leaves me wishing that I could spend everyday at the market.
I have yet to visit all of the farmers’ markets in San Francisco, but some of my favorite include:
