This is the outdoor market, not the hall. Foodwise operates a California Certified Farmers Market outside the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero at the base of Market Street 1. Foodwise runs the outdoor market only; indoor retail is the marketplace 1. The market brings a separate weekly farm-and-producer program to the waterfront 2.
The civic story is a waterfront after the Embarcadero freeway. Foodwise (formerly CUESA, founded 1994) dates a one-time Harvest Market to 1992, a Saturday certified market from 1993, CUESA taking over management in 1999, and the market’s return to the renovated Ferry Building in 2003; the nonprofit took the name Foodwise in 2022 3. Those are the operator’s dates.
The market connects farm produce to city kitchens: fruit toward Jam and Strawberry, dairy toward Milk and Cheese. Foodwise publishes current visitor information.
