Farmers’ Market Update

Posted at 11:34 am under Farmers Market

It is fleet week, which means today the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market was swarmed with tourists and newbies. Sadly for me, I got held up at home this morning and did not make it early enough to beat the crowd.
I was really looking forward to stocking up on the amazing white pomegranates I tried last week, but alas, they were already sold out by the time I arrived. For some reason chard seemed to be selling out quickly today as well. Perhaps all those delicious recipes posted in the New York Times this week inspired the masses?

The good news, though, is that I was still able to get Padrones and the last bunch of Mediterranean cucumbers from Happy Quail farms. I also got in on the tail end of the Early Girl tomato season.
Today’s purchases:
  • Brussels sprouts

  • Early Girl tomatoes

  • Rainbow chard

  • Padrones

  • Assorted sweet peppers

  • Mediterranean cucumbers

  • Eggplant

  • Warren pears

  • Bosc pears

  • Pomegranate (red)

  • Baby leeks

  • Raspberries

  • Coffee
