Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market bonanza!
The Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market is finally moving to its new home. It may seem odd, but its new home
is...the ferry plaza! This seeming discrepancy is caused by the extensive amount of work that's been
going on in this area, forcing the market to move up the street a significant ways. This is
the
chi-chi market in the Bay Area, and the produce and products are spectacular.
The ribbon cutting for the new location is on April 26, which means Melissa and I probably won't visit
until after our honeymoon. For all the juicy details, check out the official website at
www.ferryplazafarmersmarket.com.
And the ferry building itself will soon become a mecca for Bay Area gourmets. I've heard that outlets
for Scharffen Berger,
Tomales Bay Foods, Frog Hollow and bacar will all make appearances in the
new building. One convenient place to buy some of the Bay Area's best food.
