If you’re a Bay Area bride looking for the next undiscovered local goodie for your wedding, there’s no better place to uncover hidden gems than at the SF Underground Farmers Market hosted by ForageSF, a group interested in wild foods in our community. The Underground Market is a venue where you can taste and purchase food—cakes, cookies, ice creams, salsas, and more—that are produced in backyards and home kitchens in the area.  To sell treats at a traditional farmers market, you need to produce your wares in a commercial kitchen. The home cook doesn’t often have the cash or inclination to put up the money for a commercial kitchen.  The underground farmers market is all about giving you a taste of these truly home-baked or home-made foods.

My latest market find was chocolaty cupcakes topped with bing cherries made by Sugartit Kitchens. Sugartit Kitchens is based in Oakland, and is the creation of chefs Angie Serna and Amie Bailey, who occasionally join forces with other independent and like-minded food professionals and dilettantes. From cupcakes to pickles to special events, their focus is on creating great flavors with seasonal and local ingredients, garnished with a wink and a smile. You can find them on Facebook, Twitter (@sugartitkitchen) and by email at . Custom orders welcome.

Reach out to Sugartit Kitchens for more information, and keep an eye on the SF Underground Farmers Market website for details on the timing and location of the next market. Who knows what you might find next?!
