Ferry Building Farmer's Market

These are a few pictures from the amazing Ferry Building Farmer's Market I went to with Rachel this past Saturday. I went to find locally made organic jam to send to family in Japan. But of course, I ended up buying for Dav and I, Acme bread, jam for ourselves, smoked salmon sticks, and Asian pears. I was going to buy flowers too, but missed the opportunity when Rachel and I took a break to have tea (at the Imperial Tea Court, which I do not recommend).

The quality, the care, and variety of thd stuff there blows me away. Value is given to organic and local farmers. What a luxury to have that...but it's super expensive, so the real goal should be for the market to be available to all. I'd love to go more often and get to know the people from whom I buy food. When I go, I get so inspired (so much that after 3 pictures, I forgot to keep taking them, and rather started sampling food!)

We bumped into Anil and Alaina, who toted bag of goodies for making dumplings.
