"Held three days a week outside the historic Ferry Building on the Embarcadero, this high-end market specializes in organic and sustainably produced foods typical of California’s biodiversity, swelling to more than 100 vendors on Saturday. Shoppers can find pasture-raised eggs, heirloom Crane melons, farmstead cheeses, and San Francisco sourdough; notable Bay Area chefs like Alice Waters and devoted foodies flock here for exceptional quality, and Saturdays can draw up to 25,000 visitors. Don’t miss Roli Roti’s popular porchetta sandwich or Hog Island Sweetwater oysters from Hog Island Oyster Co." - Veronica Stoddart
