Activating the neighborhood

Farmer's markets bring communities closer together. They create a destination where people enjoy shopping, running into neighbors, seeing, and being seen. They also help encourage healthy behavior such as walking and eating fruits and vegetables. As depicted here, the Ferry Building Farmer's Market attracts people from local neighborhoods, who walk their dogs at the market, bring babies in strollers to enjoy a day outside, or who make new friends while waiting in line to buy bread at Acme.
