sf farmers market

San Francisco's farmers market is among the largest in America, so we've been anxious to go. The bay area had a longer winter than normal, so the turn out and varieties on display were much lower than expected, but we had a lot of fun anyway.

These onions were amazingly good,


Far West Fungi was heaven. I hadn't ever seen pink oyster mushrooms before, beautiful aren't they? We also bought some fresh morels, as well as a few others. The most addicting item on the trip we bought here: truffle infused sea salt (mushroom lover's cocaine).

Two things we really need in Big Bear. A "good" Farmer's Market and a "Trader Joe's".
We have a so-called "Farmer's Market" 2 blocks from here, on Tuesdays during the summer months, but it's more of a trade fair with 90% of the booths selling baubles, bangles and gew-gaws of all sorts. There are only a few produce vendors, none of them organic. I'm envious of city-dwellers everytime I visit a really good Farmer's Market or a Whole Foods supermarket, but not enough to make me move off this mountain.

But a small farm of my own might entice me to live elsewhere.
;~)

It sounds like you guys had a great trip!
