The farmers market at the Ferry building is the best farmers market I have ever been to...all local organic and sustainable products..great vendors in the ferry building..the Golden Gate Meat Company is the best..they are the distributor to the fine dining restuarants in San Francisco..all thier products are hormone-antibiotic free, local and free range..and the staff at their shop in the ferry building are so helpful with tips that make their product come out perfect!
- Pros: Best Farmers Market, restuarants, and views
- Cons: Slanted Door is overpriced, for asian food in San Francisco they are abnoxious

My favorite attraction in the city
by agentred at Citysearch
Saturday morning farmer's market is my favorite thing to do in the city. Our out-of-town visitors love it and we love lazily strolling around tasting the bounty of our land. (Make sure you try Roli Roti meats!) I also go to the ferry bldg weekdays to have a lovely lunch, that is as slow or fast as I make it. I always cap off the meal with chocolates from Recchiuti.
- Pros: Gourmet food, friendly merchants, beautiful view
- Cons: Long bathroom lines, more benches are needed

Great Place to Hang Out
by ali94122 at Citysearch
It's become a Sunday pastime for me and my husband to walk to the Ferry Bldg and get a bottle of wine, cheese from Cowgirl creamery and ACME Bread!! It's the perfect way to end the weekend!!
Beautiful views, clean area, and great place to take out-of-towners!
- Pros: Farmers market, restraunts, shopping
