Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market


Someone might want to check my hotel room tomorrow night to make sure I’ve actually gone home. I never want to leave San Fran!



My day started off at 6:30 AM with morning blogger run. We completed 4.66 miles in roughly 41 minutes- having friends to talk to made the time fly by!

We were planning on Jamba Juice for breakfast, but were foiled when we learned the store didn’t open until 9. Instead, we headed back to Bread & Cocoa for another huge cup of steaming hot oats.


Once again, I topped mine with shredded sweetened coconut, granola and chopped almonds.


After breakfast, I headed down to the Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market with Meghann, Melissa and a few others.




I knew there would be a huge array of local produce, but the experience definitely exceeded my expectations.





There were lots of pretty things to look at…








People to talk to, music to hear…





Puppies to pet…



And food to taste, of course J

Flavored salts
Tomato salt
Lavender salt
Frog Hollow Farms fruit
Organic Asian-Pear Chutney

Dried nectarines
Fig Jams
Mojito apple slices
Persimmon
Tapenade spreads
Falafel
Garlic pepper and blueberry salad dressings 
Dried fruits and veggies
Mocha cinnamon and toasted coconut truffles

I've got an afternoon of eating planned. Happy Weekend!

San Fran is one of the most amazing cities in the world, hands down. I miss it so much and I've found myself peeling my eyes away at each post because I just wanna keep looking and looking at the pictures haha! I am SO glad you're enjoying yourself - you deserve it!

Much love!
Meg

What a beautiful town! I've never had flavored salt, although persimmons are around here now too, yay! I'm still super jealous ;-)

I really love that pic of the little boy by the statue...I love what he's wearing! It's like he's from a totally different era.

I don't blame you for not wanting to leave - SF looks like it has so much to see and do. At least NYC is still a pretty exciting city. ;)

That is an amazing farmer's market though. I love that it has so much more than just fruits and veg. Fig jam sounds so good!
