Ferry Plaza Farmers Market

Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is an outdoor market run by the nonprofit Foodwise, in front of the Ferry Building. Foodwise describes it as a certified farmers market operating year-round three days a week. Saturday is the largest edition, with more than 100 vendors; Tuesday and Thursday are smaller, so plan around your goal: broad weekend shopping or produce and lunch during a weekday break.

The vendor directory lets visitors review participating farms and food businesses for each market day. Along with seasonal produce, shoppers can find crafted foods, breakfast and lunch, and scheduled educational activities. Foodwise offers a free Veggie Valet for storing purchases and picking them up later, with different locations and hours by day. It is useful for continuing a waterfront walk, but visitors should still check the published service schedule before arriving.

The market is at 1 Ferry Plaza, with BART, Muni, streetcars, and ferries nearby. Google reviews associated with the listing value the waterfront location, food quality, and Saturday selection; they also describe crowds and differences among market days. Foodwise operates the outdoor market, not the indoor Ferry Building shops. The market is on level pavement and accessible restrooms are inside the building; public transit is generally simpler than searching for nearby parking.
