What they do
Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is a 32-year [[berkeley|California]] Certified Farmers Market at the San Francisco Ferry Building. Founded 1993. Year-round operation:
- Saturdays 8 am – 2 pm — 100+ vendors, the anchor market day
- Tuesdays & Thursdays 10 am – 2 pm — smaller mid-week schedules
Operated by Foodwise (formerly CUESA, the [[foodwise|Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture]]) — a SF Bay nonprofit running Ferry Plaza and several other Bay Area farmers markets since the 1990s. Foodwise also runs food-education programs (cooking demos at the market, chef partnerships, K-12 curriculum work).
Why it’s listed
The specific filter is the California Certified [[farmers-market|Farmers Market]] designation — California’s CDFA-administered standard that requires vendors to be the actual growers of the produce they sell, verified by farm inspection. Combined with the Foodwise institutional operatorship (32 years of food-education work alongside the market) and the iconic Ferry Building siting, Ferry Plaza is one of the most-cited reference cases for what a modern producer-only urban farmers market looks like.
Bioregional fit
The Ferry Building sits at the foot of Market Street on the SF waterfront — [[san-francisco-bay-area]] bioregion, downtown core.
