This week is National Farmers Market Week, a time to celebrate the contributions that farmers markets have on the economic, social and environmental health of local communities.
In Los Angeles and across the country, farmers markets have become a place for not only purchasing local food direct from producers, but also a place for building community bonds. Farmers markets are often places where people gather and can bring added economic and social benefits to communities.
Council District 2 currently has two weekly farmers markets. Stop by one or both to get your fruit, veggies and all sorts of household goods from local producers.
