Since I was missing the Edmonton Farmers Market on Saturday, and had to fill that void so I walked over to the San Francisco Ferry Building Farmer’s Market to check it out. It had such a huge variety of mostly organic items, and was full of people (a distinct combination of locals and tourists.)<\/p>\n

\nOne cart had at least five different varieties of nectarines, with samples! Everything was super expensive though, even by my usual Edmonton farmers market standards. There are a bunch of other options in the city, and a lot of them are more economical, but not all of them have organic produce.<\/p>\n

Of course, my favourite part of the farmers market was actually one of the Ferry Building’s regular features, besides the beautiful view, there is a Pepple’s stand from the vegan donut folks in Oakland. Now, I’ve done the Ronald’s Donuts thing, and I can say they are probably my favourite donuts (tied with Sweetpea in Portland, OR.) But the Pepple’s people have cake donuts down perfectly. While it’s been over a decade since my last Tim Horton’s Donut, I still use them as a barometer of donuty goodness, and Pepple’s is there. It didn’t taste healthy, or “vegan”, but it wasn’t too sweet, and it had a nice texture and moisture balance. Considering this was just a stand, I bet getting them at the Oakland location would be even better. Maybe next time.<\/p>\n

\nThough, I did end up in Oakland again that night, I had to take my last opportunity to eat at Souley Vegan before I leave on Tuesday morning (they are closed on Sunday and Monday.) This time around I knew exactly what I wanted; a crispy sandwich, a side of fried okra, and a slice of sweet potato pie. They were PACKED, but I’ve never felt more patient in my life, waiting is so much easier when you know you’re getting something awesome.<\/p>\n

\nFrankly, I think this photo speaks for itself. And in case it doesn’t, it was delicious. Crispy seasoned tofu, with tartar sauce, veggies and ketchup, so fantastic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
