From today's Chron: Link: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/04/26/MN288497.DTL Sat Apr 26 10:16:20 -0700 2003 0 Gary Soup 1 91771 Golden Gate Meat will have space. Sat Apr 26 21:23:42 -0700 2003 91748 0 Cynthia 2 91777 this whole turn on niman thing seems very shady to me....first chez panisse stops using their meat in favor of grass-fed and now this with the ferry plaza. anyone know whats going on ? because it's not about the quality of the meat. a friend who went to the market today saw their space inside with a sign up noting niman would be there in the future. guess not.

Sun Apr 27 18:05:22 -0700 2003 91748 0 Maya 2 91821 Peet's is inside the Ferry Building in the shops (one of only 2 or 3 open right now), Niman had a stand at the actual farmer's market (which was nice because you could get their whole range of products whereas only a few items are available at many of the markets I shop at). I'm looking forward to seeing how the Tuesday market is. It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out -I'm excited about the shops and the farmer's market move since I work downtown and take BART, it'll be perfect for getting some bread and cheese on my way home or even picking up salad or veggies for a healthy lunch. And I won't have to ride that crowded F streetcar on Saturdays anymore! Sun Apr 27 18:29:12 -0700 2003 91819 0 Celery 2 91986 Niman was part of the farmers market. Peet's is part of the building. Not the same thing. Tue Apr 29 00:12:16 -0700 2003 91819 0 Nankasi
