"A San Francisco nonprofit focused on urban education around sustainable agriculture that operates the city’s Ferry Building market and programming. It serves as an early-access hub for youth and volunteers, connecting them with chefs, restaurateurs, and farmers and offering hands-on experiences like cooking demos. Over time it has functioned as an intersection of Bay Area food communities, fostering relationships that lead young volunteers into kitchen work and deeper engagement with sustainable food systems." - Hillary Dixler Canavan

"I noticed CUESA (Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture) is running its own farm box—a roundup of lovely offerings from the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market that helps smaller farms—and you can order ahead and pull up for curbside pickup on Saturdays." - Becky Duffett

"CUESA (Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture) might be best known in the city for its farmers’ markets, including the big one at the Ferry Building." - Eater Staff
