The San Francisco Wholesale Produce Market (SFWPM or “Market”) is one of the largest, multi-tenanted produce wholesale and distribution facility in the US and span over 20 acres, including 485,000 square feet of warehouse and logistics space. The Market provides critical food infrastructure and services to wholesale and distribution businesses that store, aggregate, and distribute fresh produce to businesses across the Bay Area.
The mission of the San Francisco Market Corporation is to link the produce and food communities of SF and beyond, through the successful operation and development of the San Francisco Wholesale Produce Market.

The vision of the San Francisco Market Corporation is to make the San Francisco Wholesale Produce Market a vibrant, thriving and sustainable food center.
It is an exciting time at the Market; we have embarked on a multi-year Reinvestment Project to upgrade and expand our facility. The first phase of the Reinvestment Project included the transition of the Market to a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and the construction of an 82,000 sq ft LEED-Gold warehouse. As we are investing and planning for the future of the Market, we are looking to improve and expand our marketing, branding, and communication efforts.

We are asking for committee members to make a one year commitment. We anticipate that the Committee will meet monthly but this might fluctuate depending on priorities and timeline.
Service on SFWPM’s committees is a volunteer position without remuneration.
