Spring onions are rapidly becoming onions, green garlic is about to become "just" garlic, strawberries have been around for a few weeks already, blueberries have arrived ... and there are even some very early tomatoes around. However, I looked at both of the stands who have tomatoes already, and both have very small signs saying troubling things like "no pesticides!" and "chemical-free." Those two statements do not mean organic. I am actually really upset that the farmers market allows these stands to sell produce, given that they are borderline misleading people, but I am not the one who makes these decisions, so I'm just trying to stay informed (and keep others informed). I wanted tomatoes this weekend as much as the next person, but I can't do conventionally grown tomatoes.
Other than Tomatogate 2012, the market was beautiful on Saturday. Amazingly gorgeous flowers, too. I went on a trip ostensibly to obtain only vegan doughnuts, but I ended up with gorgeous spring onions, too. Enjoy this week's peek into SF's Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. ♥
