California Grown


 

The farmers markets in San Francisco are a fabulous part of living in the city. I love going every week to shop the fresh, local produce.

It is truly a feast- for both my lens and my table.

    • Hi Bunty, There probably is–haven’t used it, however, two great markets to look up are Saturday at the Ferry Building and Sunday at Fort Mason. The Ferry Building is the famous one- a gorgeous historic renovation on the Embarcadero by the Bay Bridge. If you’d like, give me a shout when you’re in town.
