Bay Area residents are geographically spoiled, with so many growing regions just a short drive away. That means many local farmers’ markets are stocked year-round with some of the world’s best produce and other food that has been grown, raised or baked locally. 

After a tough winter for California’s farmers, spring is now in full swing, with green garlic, asparagus, strawberries and other obvious signs of the season becoming easier to find at stands in San Francisco and all around the Bay. 

If you’re ready for a fresh spot to shop this spring, follow The Standard’s map to these day trip-worthy farmers’ markets found not too far from the city.

Everything is more expensive now—so tips for your Uber, Lyft and DoorDash drivers should be too—drivers say.

Fans can enjoy culinary items rarely seen at a baseball stadium, or any North American sporting event, for that matter.

This Outer Sunset watering hole has been transformed into a boba outpost—just in time for spring sipping.
