Farmer’s Market
7Dec2002 Filed under: Product PlacementI love going to our local farmer’s market. It makes shopping for groceries a fun outdoor community event instead of a harrowing high-risk close call with death-carts, angry housewives, and vegetables that were picked in June. It’s so nice to buy a huge bag of veggies that smell like actual vegetables…and only pay $8.00 for the whole shebang! I love getting honey from the man who can tell me about the bees, and pear-apples from a guy who sells them to me for however much money I happen to have in my pocket … which was more than a bit short, but he didn’t care. This is one thing to appreciate about Los Angeles: year round farmer’s markets. Bravo!

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

Okay, I do have to grudgingly admit that, however nice it otherwise is to live in Portland, our farmer’s markets all shut down a month or two ago. (=

A few years ago I apprenticed at an organic vegetable farm - near Ithaca, NY - that sold all of its produce at the glorious Ithaca Farmer’s Market, and came to believe that organic is imporant, and local perhaps even more so.
