Where is this at the Ferry Building - I'm there every Saturday for the

farmer's market?

Have you ever tried the stuff from Marin Sun Farms (they're in the back),

but only for the farmer's market, unlike Potter Farms. I like their stuff

even more than the stuff from Potter Farms, though I shop at both. I think

that their stuff is a little 'purer' than Potter farms - their beef is

totally grass fed, whereas I think that the Potter Farms cows are grain fed

part of the time...maybe I'm wrong on that. But I've been buying my beef,

eggs, and now lamb from Marin Sun Farms, and buying bacon and other stuff

from Potter. We're really lucky to have both of them..

Hi,

Facing the Ferry building from Market, it's toward the left. Go in at

the door near 's Refresher, then go straight down that hallway

towards the water. Fairly new. I was just stunned to see all the

signs saying " Potter Family pork, Potter family beef, " etc all at

prices not too much more than buying and cooking it yourself.

Ya Marin Sun Farms is good too, I buy eggs & other items from there.

Recently they've started to sell sandwiches too. Potter Farms are

not grain finished, all grass fed except for the pigs that get a

variety of stuff. It is Niman that finishes on grain.

Oh, the dilemma! I am so thankful to be living in the Bay Area.

cheers,

Well, that's good to know about Potter...and I will definitely try that

restaurant. I've actually been eating one of those Marin Sun Farm sandwiches

for breakfast of late...
