Looking Back and Looking Forward with CUESA's Founder, Sibella Kraus | The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market began 25 years ago, when farmers and San Franciscans came together to reclaim the waterfront and create community through good food. One of the driving forces in this effort was Sibella Kraus, a founding member of the San Francisco Public Market Collaborative--the organization that started the market--and the founder of CUESA. Today, she continues her work to grow a resilient local food shed, as the founder and president of Sustainable Agriculture Education (SAGE), an organization dedicated to revitalizing agricultural places near cities.
For the farmers market's anniversary, Sibella shared some reflections on the last 25 years, along with hopes and visions for the future. Join us in toasting our founders, farmers, and growth of the good food movement at CUESA's 25th Birthday Bash this Sunday.
