This is #2 on the list from the website.

Forage for fresh produce at the Ferry Building


On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays until 2pm, hordes of food-obsessed locals can be found combing the crowded aisles and produce stands of the Ferry Building Marketplace, where 75 regional farmers and artisan food purveyors offer a dizzying array of organic fruit and vegetables, and gourmet goodies from olive oils, meat, cheese and bread to chocolate, jams and flowers. In addition to the tri-weekly farmer's market, homegrown brands such as Acme Bread, Cowgirl Creamery, Hog Island Oyster Co. and Blue Bottle Coffee sell from permanent stalls.

We visited the Ferry Building Farmer's Market on a Saturday. Which opens at 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
The reviews all says to visit early because it's a popular tourist spot as well as a favorite for locals.
We feel in love with this place! Not only it has hundreds of fresh produce and vegetables, they are mostly organic and there are free tastings at each booth. You can just go around and sample at each booth! There are also tons of food booths if you want to grab lunch there.

Unfortunately it was getting really crowded since it was a long holiday weekend, so I wasn't able to try everything I wanted to there. Like Roli Roti (the best porchetta sandwich), Cowgirl Creamery (cheese), Blue Bottle Coffee, Omurice from Namu Street Food, and the fresh oysters from
Hog Island Oyster Company. But I was able to try some Samosa, Hummus, and some fresh baked pastry there that was delicious.

Las Vegas farmer's market is a joke compare to what San Francisco offers. I would totally move there just for the farmer's market! I can't wait to visit again to see what different items they have in different seasons!

This is another must-see for San Francisco, come hungry, come with cash (things can get pretty expensive here since you are tempted to buy everything!) and come with reusable bags to carry all the stuff you'll be buying here!)
