We'd heard rumors of the "real" Farmer's Market (apparently the Ferry Building market we typically frequent isn't "real"), so we decided to search it out. It's in a part of the city we'd never visited, Bernal Heights, and it was definitely the find of the month(notice $4 for the bag of oranges)! We also heard a rumor that one of the little ladies, Betty, from our meeting works at this Farmer's Market (the Alemany Farmer's Market) so we confirmed that on Wednesday - she works at an almond & walnut stand. Bob was especially impressed by the truck selling quail, duck & chicken eggs, Suzanne was impressed by the fact that the back of that same truck was all set up with cages for the live chickens. We were both impressed by the large amount of fresh food that a person could walk away with for a relatively small amount of money!
Since we'd never been to this portion of the city, we also spent a good part of the day exploring new streets, neighborhoods, parks... and finding some great views as you'll see.
Tip! If you want to see a photo that's in the viewer just click it!

Is Bernal Heights an area you may consider settling? Looks like a great town and the Farmers Market is a huge plus!!!
I bet you two are loving all the fresh produce! Quite a contrast from January 08, I bet. Madison is supposed to have the nation's largest produce farmers' market, but not anything like that in January; the flowers are wonderful!!!
The oranges here cost less! Especially if you have a tree in your backyard. :-)
Thanks for posting all the pictures for us to see what your home is like.
Next time you go to the farmers market you have to look for a pumelo. They are quite tasty.
The pomelo or Citrus grandis (L.), is a citrus fruit, usually a pale green to yellow when ripe, with sweet white (or, more rarely, pink or red) flesh and very thick spongy rind. It is the largest citrus fruit, ranging from the size of an extra-large grapefruit to the diameter of a basketball, and usually weighing between 1 and 2 kg.
