On September 3, the 'Heart of the City' Farmers’ Market will be relocated from the United Nations Plaza to San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza.
The twice-weekly farmers market in downtown San Francisco that's been held for decades is moving to the Civic Center Plaza. But the relocated market will be smaller than its current form at the UN Plaza. Shoppers in this food desert area are not thrilled.On September 3, the "Heart of the City" Farmers’ Market will be relocated from the United Nations Plaza to San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza.
Three-inch letters inlaid with gold in gray pavement along the plaza tell the story of the United Nations as you walk towards City Hall from Hyde Street. The plaza pavement will be removed to make room for the new streetscape. The neighborhood has been considered an urban food desert for decades. "The biggest issue for the farmers is the space being smaller, and they won’t have access to their trucks," said Pullium.
"A lot of people will say, 'It's just right across the street.' But for customers with disabilities, there's a BART elevator down on the far end of this plaza. They'll have to go even further," he said. "We have several blind customers that come through that are afraid to cross that street. We'll take them around to all the vendors and help them shop, but now we have to maybe pick them up over here and walk them across the street.
