Local Spotlight – The Ferry Building

Autumn is the season for Winter Squash from Capay Organic, Watermelon Radishes from Heirloom Organic Gardens and Warren Pears from Frog Hollow! Celebrate fall at the world-class San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace with oils perfect for baking, fine artisan chocolates in beautiful packaging, local handmade soap, fresh finds at the farmers market and a plethora of foodie options.

Less than a mile from your door at Jasper, the Ferry Building is the center of a transit hub that connects all of San Francisco’s neighborhoods and the surrounding bay communities. The marketplace is accessible by MUNI, BART and Ferry Boat. The historic trolley cars stop directly in front of the Ferry Building.

Foodie Temple: Cheese after chocolate, macaroons after oysters—anything goes at the Ferry Building. Whether you are craving comforting tomato soup and melty grilled cheese sandwiches or seek fresh bread and cheeses for your holiday gatherings, this gem is your go-to spot for your fall needs with restaurants, artisan shops and the famous farmers market.

Deliciousness is always in season: As we head into harvest season, the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is filling up with fresh fall produce like the array of winter squash grown on vines and sun-cured after harvesting so that the skin hardens, allowing them to stay ripe for months. Year round, rain or shine, CUESA operates the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Saturday (8am to 2pm), Tuesday (10am to 2pm), and Thursday (10am to 2pm).

From farm tours and cooking demonstrations to seasonal tastings and cocktail nights, CUESA offers educational experiences and events to help you learn more about your food and the people who grow, produce, and cook it. Here are a few events coming up in October at the Ferry Building:

“Iron Chef Challenge” Samples on October 8 – 10:30am to 11:00am

Land and Sea Farm Tour on October 11 – 8:30am to 4:30pm
