The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market was just one of three San Francisco farmers markets when it opened in 1993, according to its website. And now there's a farmers market for every microhood. Celebrate the 20 years of local food contributions of CUESA and the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market this Saturday, where a $20 ticket gets you access to a build-your-own shortcake and mimosa bar.

If you don't feel like doing all the work involved in planning and shopping for dinner but are tired of eating out, Jake Des Voignes of Local Mission Eatery & Local's Corner might have the answer. He's teamed up with CUESA and Good Eggs to make a "Chef Box" full of ingredients purchased at the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market that you can assemble at home into a three-course meal.

Sure, it may seem as if the Halloween decorations are just now coming down, but Thanksgiving is right around the corner. And if you're looking to place a pie order instead of making your own, it's time to get a move on. Here are three places in the city that can help to ensure a stress-free, pie-filled holiday.

By now, you may very well be starting to understand cult-like craze that surrounds Huy Fong Foods' Sriracha sauce (you know, the one with the green top, white lettering, and rooster on the bottle). Whether you're drizzling it onto scrambled eggs, squirting it into your soup, or using it to spice up your slice of cheese pizza, the possibilities for this paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt seem endless. But, lo and behold, just as we thought the Sriracha craze could not get any crazier ... we discovered Sosu Ketchup's new sweet and spicy lovechild: Srirachup.

Where: Located on SFSU's campus (outside the humanities building)
When: Thursdays from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
For years the smells of San Francisco State's farmers' markets have wafted through the open windows in the humanities building and distracted me from my seemingly diligent studies, transporting me to a food-filled daydream of Belgian waffles, fresh strawberries, and kettle corn. This farmers' market is small (less than 10 vendors) but a great place to stock up on organic produce or break the monotony of the usual campus food. My two favorite finds of the week were Popcorn Karma Kettle Corn's rainbow kettle corn and Nut 'n Bean's specialty nut butters.

Heart of the City Farmers' Market started 30 years ago with just 15 farmers present, and has since grown into a large independent non-profit organization that has donated more than $50,000 to the community since its conception. When I ventured to the market last Wednesday, I expected to find primarily inexpensive produce. What I found instead was a hoard of overly eager new farmers excited to share their unique creations.
