More Farmer's Market Finds

My favorite stand at the Inner Sunset Farmer's Market is probably Serendipity Farms' stand, where I get three greens for $5! What a steal and the greens are delicious. This is the last stand on my tour of the market and with the delights I pick up I've made kale chips, kohlrabi hash browns, and sauteed pea tendrils. And, the lettuce is hardy and long-lasting enough to make it through a week or two. Last week I also picked up some delicious radishes for my lunch-time salads, as well.

Aside from the places I mentioned in a previous post, I always stop at Fifth Crow Farms, Garcia Farms, and Far West Fungi. Fifth Crow Farms also has wonderful lettuces and as I mentioned, they have organic, free-range, pastured eggs that never give me tummy aches. Far West Fungi, which can be found at pretty much every farmer's market in San Francisco, has some of the best mushrooms around. They have the basics (which are humongous) and they have a wide variety of exotics, like the oyster trumpets I picked up today. My first stop is usually Garcia Farms where I get Brussels sprouts for as long as they're in season (which seems like forever), artichokes, and the foods that are okay to eat even if conventionally grown because they don't harbor as many pesticides (like onions).
