Foodwise

Also known as: CUESA, Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture

San Francisco nonprofit (formerly CUESA — Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture, rebranded to Foodwise) operating two of San Francisco's principal farmers markets — the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market (since 1993) and the Alemany Farmers Market — both California Certified Farmers Markets featuring small-scale sustainable growers.

Foodwise (founded as CUESA — Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture) is the [[mission-district-sf|San Francisco]] nonprofit that operates the [[ferry-plaza-farmers-market|Ferry Plaza Farmers Market]] at the Embarcadero (since 1993) and the Alemany Farmers Market. Both are California Certified Farmers Markets — meaning vendors must be the actual growers, not resellers — featuring small-scale sustainable growers, food makers, and chefs from across California.

Foodwise’s curatorial work is the verification: every vendor at a Foodwise market has been screened for the producer-only requirement and [[berkeley|California]]‘s certified-farmer standards. The org also runs food-and-cooking education programs, [[mission-district-sf|the Mission]] Community Market (in earlier years), and seasonal events at the Ferry Building.
