Bay Area Chefs Share What They're Celebrating at Foodwise Summer Bash

As you stroll through the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market at the height of summer through bountiful rows of heirloom tomatoes, peak-season peaches, and colorful cucurbits, you’re also stepping through a cherished time capsule of San Francisco history. This year is the 30th anniversary of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with the community that continues to make it so special: the dedicated farmers, the adventurous chefs, and the loyal market shoppers, too.

This Sunday, July 16, at Foodwise Summer Bash, chefs from 45 beloved Bay Area restaurants and beverage makers are gathering at the Ferry Building to toast this milestone birthday and showcase the season's best from our local farms. They’re looking forward to spending quality time with fellow chefs and farmers, and seeing all of you! Hear from a few participants about what the Foodwise community means to them, and get a sneak peek of what they’ll be making at Summer Bash.
