Everything Under the Sun Farm ~ A member of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market Food Community
Few farmers cultivate as close to “everything under the sunâ€? as does Bill Crepps - stone fruits, Asian vegetables, roots, brassicas, nuts, persimmons, greens, alliums, nightshades, figs, corn, and hard squash to name some of his crops. Bill’s farm embodies one of the most fundamental principles of sustainable agriculture: diversity. Everything Under the Sun Farm specializes in dried fruits and vegetables, and Bill is interested in connecting with other farmers attending Terra Madre who dry fruit and vegetables.
Bill is a delegate from the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market food community. The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market is operated by the nonprofit Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture and brings together over 80 farms, 30 artisans and purveyors, and thousands of shoppers every week at the historic Ferry Building in San Francisco. Farmers come from throughout California’s diverse growing regions to sell their fruits, vegetables, nuts, meats, cheeses, olive oil, and prepared foods to urban residents.

hi ,i have had the humbling experience of attending the ferry farmers’ market in SF ..it is truly wonderful and an excellent example of visionary thinking , social entrepreneurship ,co- producer thinking ,customer convenience , and
fair pricing from ,as i understand it, a stallholder perspective .
. accepting the wonderful weather that northern california enjoys ,it should be an inspiration to all organisors of farmers’ markets and food communities..we have certinly adopted some ideas from there to our 70 SAFM markets in scotland ..
