The Napa Farms Market at San Francisco International Airport is a stunning farm-to-flight market-style retail experience that makes taking a bit of California's lush produce home with you easier. The luxurious gourmet grocery store features a long bar height table where customers can enjoy their ready-made meals, while it also boasts a stock that would embarrass the average supermarket.

Designed by BCV Architects, who designed San Francisco's Ferry Building Marketplace, the Napa Farms Market is a 4,000-square-foot fresh food emporium that will instantly transport travelers to a farmer's market setting.

The Napa Farms Market is an example of the far-reaching nature of the farm-to-table movements and proves that travel is no longer an excuse for consumers to indulge in unhealthy offerings.
