SF Alemany Farmer's Market

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

In SF on Alemany @ the junction of Highways 101 & 280 is Saturday's a big

area used as a Farmer's Market & Sunday is a flea market. The Farmer's

Market has actually been in operation since 1947, but today was the first

time I've ever gone to it. (More info: http://www.ci.sf.ca.us/alemany/)

 

There were a LOT of produce vendors (I'd have to guess at least 40-50!) and

the entire area was filled with shoppers. I like to buy organic, especially

for fresh fruits & veggies. I saw only 3-4 organic vendors today, and they

only had fruit. The organic fruit was well-priced, nectarines/white peaches

$1 lb (fruit was smallish), other vendors had it for $1.50-$2/lb.. cherries

were $1.50+/lb

 

Does anyone shop here on a regular basis? Is this typical? I used to

frequent the Thursday/Daly City Farmer's Market last Fall and while its a

much smaller market, they had a better organic selection.

 

Cheers,

Tammy
