Here in the Bay Area, we are fortunate to live amid one of the most diverse agricultural regions on Earth. Throughout the year, farmers bring over 1200 varieties of fruits and vegetables to the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. With such a staggering array of options available at all times of the year, it's easy to become a seasonal eater!
Eating seasonally means enjoying the ripest and freshest food at the height of its natural harvest time. It means supporting local farmers who transport their goods the shortest distance to your plate. It also means experimenting with delicious foods you might not otherwise consider adding to a meal!
While many fruits and vegetables are available year-round, we enjoy some only briefly and eagerly anticipate their return to market from year to year. To find out what items you can get during which seasons at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, visit our seasonality charts >
