Best kept Farmer's Market secret

Here's the best kept secret in all of San Francisco:

Forget the fancy Ferry Building farmer's market or the pain-in-the-ass-parking (depsite its awesomeness) Alemany farmer's market, and get yourself to the Serramonte Farmer's Market in Daly City. It's located behind Target just across the parking lot from the bus stop.

Why I love it:

• Plenty of free parking and it's just steps away from the market.
• It's right behind Target so I can get my fresh fruit, veggies, flowers, bread, etc. and my diapers all in one go.
• It's cheaper than the Ferry Bldg. (Today I saw heirloom tomatoes for between $2-$2.50/pound.)
• It's open both Thursdays and Saturdays for your shopping pleasure. (Thursdays is a little more heavily attended by vendors: the rotisserie chicken guy is there and so are people selling "breads and spreads" as I like to call it.)

This is what I got today for the peach-blueberry crisp I'll be making tomorrow:

We have a blueberry bush in our backyard, that yielded as much blueberries as one pie could hold! Fabulous!
