Can a Farmers' Market Restore Metreon's Luster?

Seeking foodie glamour

Organizer Mark Brett told SFoodie the market will sprawl over two rooms on the ground floor along the Metreon's Mission side, once home to the Discovery Channel store. Vendors include Catalan Family Farm, Alive! raw foods, Panorama Baking, Phoenix Pasticceria, and biodynamic Frey Vineyards. There'll be crafts, too, including glass and jewelry

In fact, Brett may feel more at home with nonfood vendors - he's never actually run a farmers' market, but has managed mall kiosks as well as road and trade shows. We get the feeling the folks at CUESA (organizers of the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market), aren't exactly worried about the looming competition.
