Farmers’ markets are a way of life for Los Angeles residents, and have been since even before it was cool.

Thanks to the year-round perfect weather in Southern California, Los Angeles has year-round Farmers Markets where home chefs and restaurant suppliers like to pick up the freshest produce available.
