| | Ditty's Saturday Market: Hoffman Gamebirds |
 | | She continues to be a steady customer, but the Hoffmans have expanded their customer base to include other top restaurants in San Francisco, the Napa Valley, Chicago, Miami and Newport Beach, as well as their avid clientele at the Saturday San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market. |
 | | From 1979, the Hoffman family, Bud, Ruth and their son Joe, raised gamebirds (pheasants and chukar partridges) for the State of California Department of Fish and Game. |
 | | Increasingly competitive bidding for the State of California gamebird contract led the Hoffmans to consider shifting their business more in the direction of the restaurant and consumer market. |
