I look forward to receiving my fresh, organic produce from Greenhearts. A vibrant, abundant feast…read more Thank you, Farmer Paul, family and staff!

The answer was beet kvass all along! Our challenge: Find…read morecreative ways to enjoy and consume *100%* of the bounty that our friends at Greenhearts (and their partner organic farms) harvest from here in the greater Bay Area and deliver to our door-step week after week. No root, leaf, or berry will go uneaten. Especially the berries. We've been enjoying this delicious fresh bounty for over 5 years. Everything is amazing. The veggies are always perfect. Best I've ever had. Sweet, ripe, crispy, deliciousness. I even got my parents to sign up. I want to give a fair assessment: After 5+ years, we've received the occasional fruit that is disappointing - Cara Cara oranges are the best oranges I've ever tasted, but the strawberries picked at full ripeness sometimes only have a day or two left before spoiling, and stone-fruit like peaches, nectarines, or plums are occasionally be less juicy or sweet, probably depending on the weather that year. We still eat it all, even the kale, and the abundance of zucchini that arrives each summer. But our most difficult item has always been the beets. I love them, but my household thinks beets taste like dirt. I've tried dozens of different preparations, even my wife's grandmother's polish chocolate beet cake recipe, but to no avail. I had reverted to giving beets away to friends and neighbors because I couldn't eat them all myself. But no longer! Bring on the beets! (Lettuce Turnip the Beet!) I have a new trick up my sleeve: Beet Kvass - and I can drink it all day. Sooooo easy to make. In short: Raw, unpeeled, chopped beets go in a salt water brine, and get left in a warm dark place for about a week or two until the juice is funky, healthy, and delicious. Second stage fermentation (put the juice in a flip-top bottle) is optional and enables carbonation. Delicious! (Posting because I'm overdue for an update, but everything I said in my previous review still stands.)

Love this market. But beware of the Bread Nazi guy. Rude as heck. Why do I keep buying from his…read moreGerman bakery? Today's my last purchase ever. Every single time I've ordered from him he's totally rude to me when he's totally nice to other customers. Not sure what his problem is. I ordered Challah from there once. Wasn't good. Too dry. They don't call it Challah anyway, they use the German name with the word Challah in parentheses. Wouldn't matter if the bread and service were good. Hadn't been there in a couple years so I went today for a pretzel. I thought, Maybe the service has changed. Maybe the dude acting is nice now. Fat chance. I walk up to the booth and wait for him to finish with the previous customer. He's all friendly with them. As soon as he's done he looks right at me and says real stern, "What do you need?!" I tried to brush it off and smiled and said "I need that right there," pointing to a pretzel. Big smile, hope I could elicit some sort of common courtesy. Not happening. He says $2.50! Or whatever he price was. I give him the money. He curtly gives me my change and says "50¢." No smile, no thank you, have a nice day. No guten tag. Nothing. Nada. Nichts. Bread Nazi. It was a decent pretzel. I've had better though. It was definitely my last one from this guy. On the other hand the guy who sells dates is Awesome. Awesome dates, awesome variety, awesome service. Super friendly, down to earth. A real Bay Area type person. He'll let you sample new kinds of dates and give you tips on how to eat them etc. I recommend the one that are almost round and taste like butterscotch! They are so good!! And he takes plastic via the Square, so I bought a full pound. I've been buying them from him for an few years and they are delish! The rest of the markets pretty good. Awesome looking veggies. I used to be able to get some nice basil at a really good price. Haven't seen any lately but hopefully I will. Anyways good place to be on Thursdays in the FiDi.

Since I take the bus into work, I had never thought about shopping for produce during my lunch…read morehour. But now that I'm trying to get a little more plant-based, I have a little more motivation these days, plus I have this neat canvas bag I got for free from the Halal Guys at 53rd and 6th in Manhattan. So now I can carry produce and compete with all those elderly Chinese women with their flimsy pink bags. Oh yes, that last Chinese eggplant is MINE, old lady! I actually come here for the produce I never see at Safeway or even Whole Foods like Romanesco zucchini. Y'know, the big gray-green ones with the prominent ribbing and nutty taste. No inappropriate jokes please. I also come here to get at least a couple of bunches of Chinese long beans and those silky-firm white peaches. I have to say I have no problem filling up my Halal Guys bag with fresh goodies because the vendors here always have quality produce (see my photo gallery). It's worth coming just for the free samples but expect to get an elbow in the face from the more aggressive cheapskates. Nothing is ever free, is it? The market fits snugly into the ground floor of the Crocker Galleria every Thursday from 11AM to 3PM (plus Tuesdays during the summer). Come early if you want your pick of the freshest produce, but get your stinking hands off my Romanesco zucchini. That's mine!
