Ft. Mason Farmers Market - last summer Sunday

By
Real Estate Agent with Compass CA DRE# 01215160

Today is the last Sunday of summer 2015.

We're in a midst of a heatwave in San Francisco and the Bay Area -- 89° in San Francisco at 2:15 in the afternoon - and it will get hotter. Quite unusual.

My trek to the Farmers' Market at Fort Mason Center this morning was cooler than that, but still I walked on the shady side of the street, even in the downhill direction.

The beauty and bounty at the Farmers' Market says Fall is just around the corner, even if the thermometer is pretending otherwise.

Farmers' Market picks this week

Grapes, fresh crop apples from Apple Hill near Placerville, Asian pears, walnuts, golden raisins, tomatoes, with peaches and nectarines still making an appearance.

Are you ready to make to move to San Francisco? Give me a call; let's talk.

Oh I love the variety and quality of choices you have at FT Mason's Farmers Market!  If I lived there, I would be at the market every week!

I wish you'd write a post about your garden this year--I remember you had wonderful ones other years. Another of your talents, along with refinishing patio chairs, Judi K Barrett

Lottie the Farmer's Markets are coming to an end around here as well, and they will be missed.

George Souto - Ours at Ft. Mason continues year-round - today's was simply the last of the summer; next Sunday will be the first of the fall!

I like shopping at the local farmers market . . . . there is always good stuff there.

Good luck and  success.

I agree, Lou Ludwig - I've been nibbling on walnuts and golden raisins this afternoon, and cooking up fresh red chard for dinner tonight. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

I think it's a unanimous decision. Consumers prefer the Farmer's Market! I hope the weather cools off for you. When it's hot, it's hot! Fresh produce in weather like this is very refreshing and just the right thing to eat on the go!

We're fortunate that many of our farmer's markets stay open year round. I'll be enjoying that juicy peach I bought yesterday at breakfast!

Good morning Lottie. All looks wonderful, good enough to eat. We are fortunate to have a local farm near us, we take advantage most weekends.

Make it a great week!

I try to go to one of 2 within walking distance on Sunday mornings; sometimes open house or other work tasks get in the way and I can't. I miss it all week!

Oh Lottie, how beautiful the grapes are at your market.  We have apples and pears but our season is quickly passing too.

Those grapes looked especially wonderful yesterday, Anna Hatridge I'm lucky our farmer's market continues year round.
