Explore Bay Area food

A short sequence of steps — how a pathway is meant to be read.

Printed from https://gourmetgastronomer.com/learn/bay-area-food/

A short geographic walk from San Francisco bread into grain, markets, North Bay dairy, fruit, jam, and wine country.

This is a map of how food sits around the Bay, not a weekend itinerary. The Ferry Building is a merchant hall in a landmark the marketplace dates to 1898 1. From there the path can fork: Cowgirl Creamery (historical shop, living creamery), Sonoma County wine and dairy, cooperative baking at Arizmendi Bakery (9th Avenue), or the long commercial sour loaf at Boudin Bakery.
