Farmer’s Market coming to the Upper Market/Castro

It looks like it is going to happen. The negotiations are almost complete, the contracts to be signed soon. The Pacific Coast Farmers Market Association [http://www.pcfma.com] is organizing a farmers market that will be on Wednesdays on Noe Street from Market to Beaver street in front of Café Flore. They will present to ISCOTT [the organization that co-ordinates street closures in the City] soon, and the plan is for evenings from 4pm to 8pm. The intent is to have 25 to 30 booths, ranging from produce to bakery items, flowers, specialty foods and possibly even fresh sorbet [made from seasonal fruits] and meats. The market will include a community booth that will be for local non-profit and neighborhood groups and a merchants booth that will allow local merchants to present themselves. We will present any further information as it becomes available. We all should thank J.D. Petras for being the point person in helping make this happen and the Upper Market Alliance [an informational alliance of community groups in the Upper Market] for supporting this effort. We all look forward to this local farmers market.
