Connecting Farm to Family During COVID-19 |
Though she is not a chef by trade, these days Sonya Dreizler can be spotted at the farmers market on a given Saturday pushing a chef cart stacked high with produce. When shelter-in-place went into effect, Sonya sprung into action as a one-woman personal shopper and delivery person, bringing fresh produce to 15 friends and families.
A devoted Ferry Plaza Farmers Market supporter since 2002 and now CUESA’s Board President, Sonya’s love of food and community runs deep. She shared with us what it means to her to be of service to her community and find joy in the farmers market in this time of great uncertainty. |

Help Us Set Up the Farmers Market Safely |
Please note that our Saturday market's hours are 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. Our farmers and staff are taking extra steps to set up the market safely between 7:00-8:00, so if you are an early morning shopper, please help us by waiting until after 8:00 to start shopping. We also recommend coming later in the morning, between 9:00-10:30. Thank you for your continued patience and support during this time. |
