The Outer Sunset Farmers Market & Mercantile launched during the pandemic as a community hub on 37th Avenue between Ortega and Pacheco — near St. Ignatius along Sunset Boulevard. Founded by "Ranger Angie" as a craft market that expanded to include farmers, it has become the anchor Sunday gathering for the entire west side of San Francisco. With about 100 total vendors and the city's largest kids activity zone (Legos, art stations, activity zones), it has a family festival character unique among SF markets.
The market's emphasis on Sunset-neighborhood vendors — Avant Baker (formerly of Outerlands), Marinucci's Pasta, and several other local food businesses — gives it a hyperlocal identity that larger, more diverse markets can't replicate. Beer and wine garden, live music, and kids programming make it an all-morning destination rather than a quick stop.
