Where can I find fresh quince in the bay area?

[Kenois]

I am looking to acquire and cook with fresh (preferably organic and sustainably farmed) quince. I'd prefer if I could find it in SF, but am willing to drive in the bay area. Has anyone seen it, and if so, Where?

Anyone seen any organic quince recently? Thinking of making a trip to the Ferry building this saturday, but if there's an easier way to get it...

Berkeley Bowl organic section.

Organic quince has been on sale for $1.98/lb. (IIRC) lately at Alameda Natural Grocery.

How many you need? I have some in my garden. Totally organic and sustainably farmed as I haven't done a thing with the bush in years. My neighbor made quince jam. If you want them, I'll go check on them but I can see them gleaming yellow in the thorns.

Berkeley Bowl. Also try your nearest Chinatown.

B Bowl has had quince for some weeks now -- $0.69 per pound, sometimes $0.89, also organic for about twice that.
A few weeks ago I bought Chinese quince (at BB), $1.69 per pound, not sure if they still have it. It was grown in Berkeley! When cooked it resembled regular quince -- had an interesting flavor.

I saw some at the Heart of the City Farmers Market this past Wednesday...not sure about organic and sustainably farmed though.

There were a few stands that had them at the Alemany Farmer's Market last week. Probably will still be there this week too.

Last week at the Alemany Farmer's Market I also saw fresh rambutan and jackfruit! Both pretty expensive, grown in Palmdale....I didn't try any, but it's cool to see these fruits being grown in CA.

Well farmers' markets, but I have seen them this past week at Real Foods on Polk.

I was in Polk Street Produce [at Pine] this week and they may have had them, but I was more interested in plums and apples [he had MacIntosh!]. The store carries both organic and non, and the proprietor likes to talk fruit and veggies.

Apple Farm --Ferry Plaza. I am sure there must be other people who are also selling it.
