The Farmer’s Market (in this case the one by Civic Center in SF) is one of the most evident ways to have certified local food for affordable prices. How to be sure of it? Whatever you will buy will ripen much faster than the fruits and vegetables bought in any other markets. They are also less attractive. So why buy them? Because that is what vegetables really look like and how long they should last.
That is what organic is: less importance on the visual aspect, more focus on the quality. Products are locally grown free from additives and conservatives. Instead of being packaged they are placed directly on stands. All of this diminishes the emission of fossil fuel and their sustainable techniques enable the soil to stay fertile.

Products are fresh and much tastier. Try to find products that smell as good as the ones of Farmer’s Market in supermarkets… it is almost impossible even with the ones on display, that should tell you something. Also, if you do not have time to make an entire meal, you can go and get lunch from various stands without ruining your budget.
