Remember when an apple actually tasted like an apple?  That’s because the apples you buy at your local grocery store are probably grown on a farm thousands of miles from here and have to be picked green (and tasteless) in order to survive their long, refrigerated journey.  Face it, supermarket produce is for the birds.  So we’re gonna let you in on a little secret that’ll help you rock your family’s or your new boyfriend/girlfriend’s world, well, at least their stomach.  There’s a place in The City where you can score fruits and veggies so fresh and so tasty, you’ll wanna serve ‘em up raw. Join the rest of the savvy cooks who head to the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market each week to pick up the ingredients for their next meal. And by the way, everything you’ll find here was produced locally by environmentally-friendly farmers.  Good food, good health, and a clean conscience—what more could you ask for?

Organically-inclined cooks on the other side of the Golden Gate who like to eat smart but don’t have the time or the green thumb for a vegetable garden of their own can still score fresh, certified-organic fruits and veggies close to home.  The Marin County Farmers’ Market provides professional and home chefs alike with seasonal goodies that taste even better than they look.  But don’t take our word for it.  Bon Appetit magazine hailed the Marin County Farmers’ Market as “one of the ten best in the country.” Now do you believe us?
