In San Francisco, just about every neighborhood has its own fabulous farmers' market. Nowadays, however, not every farmer needs a market to sell his or her wares. Outside the doors of restaurants such as
Frances in the Castro and
Spruce in Laurel Heights, farmers are popping up a table to sell fresh, delicious produce to folks either walking by or in to the restaurant. Customers love it, neighbors love it, and the restaurant looks like a fresh food hero.
My wish is that it will catch on in other areas of the city and country, particularly those with little access to fresh produce. What can you do? Ask your favorite local restaurant to support their favorite local vendor for salads, fruits or vegetables and to let them set up a table outside their door one day a week around dinnertime. The restaurant owners and chefs can show off their fabulous ingredients to their customers, generate buzz, and create amazing dishes using healthier, delicious food that's in season.
Together, we can make the goodness and deliciousness of fresh food spread across the country!
