Triweekly market with local produce, artisanal foods, and prepared meals
"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
"One of the largest markets in San Francisco, Ferry Plaza also has one of the most diverse arrays of booths and shops. Fruits, vegetables, and meats come from all over the state — from Alexandre Family Farm in Crescent City on California’s northern border to Flying Disc Ranch in Riverside County. It’s open three days a week, but Saturday mornings are when the Plaza is in full bloom. The prepared food options here are top-notch, as well; the black sesame-buckwheat loaf from Midnite Bakery is a must-try, and Roli Roti consistently attracts diners with its porchetta sandwich." - Vox Creative
"The Ferry Building farmers market on a Saturday morning is a dazzling destination where I snack on samples of seasonal fruits and veggies and try to spot how many star chefs I can see picking up produce for the day's menus." - Becky Duffett
"I recently found myself shivering in the fog behind the Ferry Building and remembered the magical chilaquiles from Primavera’s stall at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, made by the masa whisperers of Sonoma; there’s always a line and you need to bring cash, but you walk away clutching a warm tin of handmade tortilla chips tossed into a saucy situation with refried beans, soft scrambled eggs, and a crumble of cotija — it had been a long and hard week, but the chilaquiles restored me." - Dianne de Guzman
"Marking its 30th anniversary, the Ferry Building Farmers Market will be celebrated as part of the Foodwise Summer Bash on July 16, with tickets starting at $125 and featuring food and drink from 30 top restaurants and 15 beverage and spirit makers." - Lauren Saria
