Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market

I had to exercise great restraint at the much-touted San Francisco farmers' market at Ferry Plaza. It is the most expensive market around. Consider it a finder's fee, as everything is at your fingertips. I bought meyer lemon marmalade from Frog Hollow Farms, a donut muffin, fairy ring mushrooms from Far West Fungi, one nectarine and a spicy anise chocolate. Total cost- $19. I did not buy a love bun, berries, cheeses, cute as can be chubby Thumbelina carrots, the meyer lemon cake at Frog Hollow Farms Bakery nor their housemade granola, a strawberry apricot turnover, the fish tacos at Primavera that came highly recommended, a gorgeous $5 poppy bouquet, heirloom tomatoes, etc. The next time I attend the Ferry Plaza market, I will bring as many so-called friends as I can find.
