The second and third grade chefs braved public transportation and the rain and had a wonderful time at Heart of the City Farmers Market for our culminating field trip. Each student was tasked with finding three items we’ve cooked with this year in Edible Social Studies and interviewed a farmer or food producer. They got $5 to spend at the market. Some got broccoli, some got apples, some got cookies, some got fresh cider, and one chef purchased a giant carrot. When we were done with our tour of the market, we met with Steve Pulliam, the executive director of Heart of the City (and Harvey Milk parent!), who told us more about the market and its unique role in the San Francisco food system.
