CUESA's Farmers Market Thanksgiving Guide
At CUESA's Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and Jack London Square Farmers Market, you'll find a variety of locally and humanely raised meats, farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, and made-with-love sweet treats to fill your Thanksgiving table. Hearty winter squashes, beans, grains, and mushrooms even make it possible to have a sumptuous meat-free Thanksgiving (veggie turducken, anyone?).

In Northern California, the fall harvest is worthy of our gratitude. Please join us in giving thanks for the abundance, and for every hard-working individual who helps bring it to the table. Here are some shopping tips, special market offerings, and recipes to inspire your farm-fresh feasts.
