this district, of course, the current supervisor supervisor cohen also continued that education and introduced me to a lot of her friends and the producers but i've got to say for a great city like san francisco and personally for me, i used who i growing up i used to work on up in seattle they had farms i picked berry's corner and beans and this was my summer job i had lots of fun, i would ride in the back of a truck and throw grapes hitting cars going the opposite way but former supervisor maxwell and current supervisor supervisor cohen is also is have been wonderful leaders for this district and center of production this is part of a

valuable center for the entire city of san francisco if not the region this is where the greatest most prestige now the 3 mission stars within the county of san francisco i just found out about they're getting their produce from japantown to the mission, to at all the great restaurants here your tech companies cafes for the workers get their fresh produce right from here and our greatest stores r our grocery stores our organic stores are get their storage and distribution right here those jobs and what the facility represents is something that i think in many other cities if i don't pay attention to it as i know this was the purpose of former supervisor max
