Our Mission and Vision Foodwise champions an equitable and sustainable Bay Area food community through farmers markets and education programs. We envision a just and regenerative food future that nourishes all people, local economies, and the living earth. Our work is rooted in the belief that farmers markets are educational spaces where family farmers, food makers, and neighbors can share food and knowledge, build community, and nurture food and climate solutions together. Our farmers markets are vital food access points, where small farmers and food businesses can thrive and thousands of Bay Area residents can learn, share, and build community through fresh local food. Foodwise has operated San Francisco’s Ferry Plaza Farmers Market since 1999, Mission Community Market since 2018, and Alemany Farmers Market since 2026.Learn more about our markets.

Our work is rooted in these values: Community:Through food we cultivate connection among the people and places of the Bay Area and beyond. We nurture a community of sharing of food, knowledge, and culture. Whether you grow, make, or eat food, everyone is welcome at the table. Stewardship:We enjoy and take pride in the bounty of our region and we embrace our responsibility as protectors of the resources upon which that bounty relies. We defend and support farmers, makers, workers, and eaters; urban and rural dwellers alike. Equity:Good food is a fundamental human right. We seek inclusivity, economic prosperity, and access to good food and food knowledge for all people. Joy:When we take joy in the discovery of delicious local food together, our bodies, and communities are healthier. When economies flourish, people thrive. Together we are more resilient and whole. Through farmers markets, education, and community programs, we’re committed to: Connecting communities for climate-wise solutions. Farmers markets are more important than ever to community food security and resilience. Foodwise enables direct connections between more than 130 local sustainable family farms and food businesses and thousands of Bay Area residents for an equitable and climate-wise food future.Learn more about our farmers markets.
