I think it's official now! I am completely obsessed with my farmers' market! And each season makes me fall in love with it even more. The past few weeks have been amazing, truly a feast for the eyes. Cute baby pumpkins are popping up everywhere, walnuts, almonds and torpedo onions are just a few of my favorite autumn gems. But last week I couldn't take my eyes off display of hot and sweet peppers from Tierra Vegetables. Neatly arranged in vintage wooden crates, they were tempting with all kinds of colors, shapes and sizes. So, if you're visiting SF now, be sure to stop by their beautiful stand, at the Ferry Plaza Market. Last week was also a week of goodbyes. Some of my favorite vendors, like Green Gulch Farm or White Crane Springs ranch, were taking off for the winter and will not return until next year's late spring. Well, that only gives me an another excuse to finally plan a trip up there.
How is your autumn market? Can you share your favorites? Are you taking photos?

I love these photos. They have a wonderful hazy autumn look to them. We haven't been to the market in two weeks...eek!
ReplyDeleteOh, these pictures kill me! My biggest regret in moving back to the east coast from San Francisco is that our farmer's markets aren't nearly as vibrant as the Californian ones. I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteyou reminded me that I SHOULD take some photos of my farmers' market. Yours looks wonderful this time of the year. Through your photos I am almost there!
ReplyDeleteLove that last pumpkin photo! Our autumn markets aren't looking very fallish yet. We still have zucchinis and eggplants and a few tomatoes, but winter squashes have appeared. Greens are starting to show up as well. Can't wait to buy a little pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I'm so happy our market looks very much like autumn now, as it's the only place, where you can really see those seasonal changes.
ReplyDeleteAmelia, you definitely Should! I can't wait to see them :)
Abbie, I would miss them, too.
Tracy, it's time to make a trip again, and take some photos, too!
HH, Rosa, thank you
What stunning photos! I'm in love with my FM too... I look forward to it so much every week, and seeing all the same people, and seeing all the new things, and the changing colours.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, lovely photos! I heart the farmers' markets we have here in Seattle especially the one in the university district. It's high time I get over there again. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThese chilli peppers look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteFarmers markets always inspire me so much. We have a small one here in Exeter and I go every week to get fresh local products.
Oh my, I want to visit your farmers market. It looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteI have followed your blog for a while but I didn't realize you live in my area. What does it say about me that I figured this out by the torpedo onion sign? I buy those all the time. Love that farm.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
arugulove, do you shop at the Ferry Plaza FM?
ReplyDeleteI love these rustic shots of autumn! Those stems on the baby pumpkins are so cute!! Your photos inspire a harvest!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are sooo beautiful and sooo autumn. Wish i could go to this market as well and after that have that great coffee with cognac from your previous post.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy thursday.

I'm obsessed with my farmers market too. Especially at this time of year. Such a great selection of fall with a few highlights from summer.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that the Ferry Plaza Market in SF is quite impressive. The pepper variety is impressive. I'm going to visit SF, but in the winter. Can you tell me if visiting in winter Ferry Plaza Market makes sense? Recently I found a little bakery near my favorite market. In this bakery you can buy bread for the meters!!! I have to take a photo of this bread, and certainly you'll send it to you.
ReplyDeletekate, Ferry Plaza FM is a year-round market, and it's always beautiful, even in a winter time :)
ReplyDeleteM, your stunning photos make me homesick and you perfectly capture the abundance of the Ferry Building Market.
ReplyDeleteNot that we are suffering here in Fiji;)I am working up a post on a Fijian garden you would love!!!! Familiar veggies and exotics alike.
Thanks for all notes.... it's always great to hear from you!
Cheers,

Erin, can't wait to see it :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be obsessed, too! All those colors and flavors. We don't even have a farmers market here. So sad. Live it up for the rest of us!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

ReplyDeleteI can't help but envy your famer's market and the wonderful produce my favorite season brings to it. Gorgeous photos. Enjoy!
