The SF Market

Today and every day, we're grateful for the support of our merchants, staff, volunteers, and community partners who make possible. Thank you! 💙💚

Farming Hope’s first ever ‘Eat Your Scraps!’ competition at their Hope Feast event was a burning success! 🔥 It was an honor to donate fresh, ready-to-be-cooked produce like portobello mushrooms, green beans, carrots, strawberries, watermelons, cauliflower (and more) to be used in delicious dishes curated by talented local chefs. Our very own Carolyn Lasar even made a special appearance as a judge in this year’s competition!

Farming Hope is one of our community partners in our Food Recovery Program. Through this program, we source fresh, surplus produce and redistribute it to our neighbors in need. This year alone, Farming Hope has prepared over 70,000 meals for food-insecure neighbors with the help of our program.

Congratulations to Kitty Ditpare and Michelle Minori for a well deserved win and thank you to Farming Hope for letting us support such a fantastic event!
