Though it's really hard to put up with sometimes, L.A. really is a great place to live. We are hugely fortunate for all the wonderful vegan options available to us, as well as an abundance of delicious, local produce. There are loads of farmer's markets around the area to choose from, and most of them operate year-round. Though we normally visit the Hollywood Farmer's Market, a few weekends ago Fiancé and I decided to branch out and visit the Beverly Hills Farmers' Market. It is definitely smaller than the one in Hollywood, but the quality of produce was stellar, and it was way less crowded. Here are some shots from our trip.

Capay Organic booth. They offer home delivery as well,
which I'm seriously considering! |

 |
| Wheatgrass! We bought two of these. Sooo pretty. |
 |
| It was snack time, and this hummus was delicious. Great ingredients! |
 |
| Lemon flavored pita chips. They were fresh and delicious. |
 |
| The artichoke hummus was amazing, and we ate it all. |

The bounty we brought home: tons of greens, daikon,
carrots, apples, & wheatgrass. |

| Beautiful golden apples (they tasted great in juice) |

If you live in L.A., or come for a visit, make sure you don't miss out on some of its awesome farmers markets. There is a great list
here. You can learn more about the Beverly Hills Farmers' Market by visiting their
website. They operate every Sunday, rain or shine, from 9 am - 1 pm. Yummy!
There's an even better list (cuz it's organized by day and time!) at www.brokela.com. Every day on the calendar has a list of markets, where they are, and organized by time. Plus a lot more other awesome stuff to do!
