San Francisco Market Corporation

The sf Market's mission is to connect and grow Northern California's food and agricultural community from our wholesale Market in the heart of San Francisco and to ensure all San Francisco bay area communities have reliable access to abundant fresh produce. The sf Market is San Francisco's original and only wholesale produce Market. As a pillar of the bay area's food economy and a non-profit social enterprise, the Market provides the critical infrastructure to connect rural California farming communities with the diverse urban center in the bay area. Located in San Francisco's bayview hunters point neighborhood, the 25 acre campus is home to 20 individual merchants who supply bay area restaurants, grocers, caterers and other food-related businesses with a full spectrum of high-quality produce that serves a range of culinary and cultural preferences. The Market supports jobs for over 500 people in the production, distribution and repair (pdr) industry. Beyond meeting the produce needs of San Francisco's food businesses, the sf Market creates positive social and environmental impact through its awardwinning food recovery program. Partnering with its merchants, the sf Market recovers fresh surplus produce that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to community-based organizations who directly serve food insecure communities across San Francisco and the greater bay area region. This efficient and highly cost-effective program is the largest single source of recovered food in San Francisco. Since its inception, the food recovery program has recovered and donated over 9 Million pounds of fresh produce through its community partners.
