| Fall Feast Guide + Farmers Market Schedule |
There are many reasons to be grateful for our local farmers and community this year. This harvest season, let us give thanks for the nourishment the earth provides, and for every essential person who tends the land and helps bring the bounty to our tables.
In the Bay Area, the fall harvest is especially worthy of gratitude. At our farmers markets, you’ll find a diversity of sustainably grown fruits and vegetables, humanely raised meats, handcrafted pies and treats, and other seasonal favorites to fill your holiday table. Hearty winter squashes, beans, grains, and mushrooms make it possible to have a sumptuous meat-free meal. Persimmons, pomegranates, apples, pears, quince, jujubes, and other fall fruit abound.
Here are some special items you can only find at farmers market and farm-fresh recipes to inspire your fall feasts. Note that the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market will be closed on November 25, but we'll be open with a special market on November 23! We'll be back to our usual schedule next Saturday, November 27. |

| | | Meet Our Team: Damaris Bonner |
| Meet Damaris Bonner, who recently joined our team as Foodwise Kids & Families Education Coordinator. What inspires her? "The sheer happiness that radiates from students when they see their favorite produce item or their curiosity when they’re engaging with farmers," she says. "It’s a reminder to me that I’m not just trying to get kids to eat healthy, but rather, I’m encouraging them to be curious, to be critical thinkers, and to find joy with food." |
