San Francisco and the Bay Area’s 12 Best Farmers Markets | Eater
"Often called “the people’s market,” Alemany is the oldest farmers market in the state, a history it wears proudly. Born from wartime conditions in 1943, it was established by the Victory Garden Council to enable farmers to sell surplus crops. It’s since evolved into a comparatively affordable market beloved by locals. Some vendors sell their more cosmetic crops at Ferry Plaza and bring the rest, at a much lower price, to Alemany. The diverse selection of vendors includes independent growers like Apolinar Yerena of Yerena Farms, with berries, squashes, and squash blossoms, and Moua’s Farm, supplying daikon, taro, lemongrass, water spinach, and many other herbs and vegetables used in Southeast Asian cuisine. Don’t miss prepared foods like huaraches and pupusas, either." - Vox Creative
