Update 3:
Some noteworthy entries to the Summer season from our local farmers. 
Hollywood Farmers Market
Summer has to be the most bountiful and lively time of year for Farmers Markets. It feels like wave after wave of fresh, delicious produce appears week after week. Some interesting finds over the last couple weeks:
Tenerelli Orchards
Peach Season is in full swing at Tenerelli Orchards. 
The past 2 weeks they’ve debuted with:
Snowbrite White Peaches:
These are the first varietal of the season (and lasted only 2 weeks!). Let it sit on the kitchen counter until ripe (1 - 2 days) and it was sweet, juicy with a touch of tart to balance out the sweetness. Delicious.
(Secret Menu) Mulberries:
One of the best “off menu” items at Tenerelli Orchards is their Mulberries, and it’s in season now (for a short period of time). They are by far the sweetest Mulberries we’ve found among the Hollywood Farmers Market farms. For those that’ve never tasted Mulberries, it’s got a super concentrated flavor, deeper and more complex than Concentrated Grape Juice or Currants. Aromatic and sweet, and there’s nothing quite like it. They were excellent! 
(You have to ask for it because they have to be kept cool, in an ice chest behind their stand.)

Weiser Family Farms
One of the most noteworthy farms at numerous local Farmers Markets is Weiser Family Farms. Local foodies may have heard the name since a lot of the local Farm-to-Table Restaurants source their root vegetables from Weiser, especially Weiser Farms’ Potatoes (numerous types) and various Heirloom Carrots.
Besides their excellent Potatoes and Carrots, Weiser Family Farms also has an annual highlight during Summer…
Heirloom Melons!
They have started to appear now (the last few weeks), from Ogen, Canary, Sabayon to Sugar Cubes and Sugar Queens, with white, green, yellow, peach fleshed Melons and beyond.
Sugar Queen Melons:
I think we’ve tried all of Weiser Family Farms’ Heirloom Melons over the past few years, and our favorite remains the Sugar Queen Melon. First, the aroma is stunning. You can smell a beautiful delicate perfumed Melon aroma even before cutting into the Melon. It permeates your car as you take it home. It perfumes your kitchen counter as you let it sit out a day or two to ripen before refrigerating it to chill a few hours before slicing.
It is incredible! 
Although the inner flesh looks like a Cantaloupe, it is absolutely nothing like a Cantaloupe. The Sugar Queen Melon is sweet, ultra fragrant, juicy, it has this Musk Melon quality that is like no other Melon we’ve tried. Don’t miss out on these.

Roots Organic Farms
The Garden Of… Organic Farm’s replacement (and protege that trained under Farmer Shu Takikawa of Garden Of), Roots Organic Farms is getting more and more impressive as the weeks go by (in their Hollywood Farmers Market debut).
This week, Farmer-Owner Jacob Grant just debuted their Roots Organic Tomatoes. 
The first 3 varietals to debut this week were:
Organic Sungold Yellow Cherry Tomatoes and Sungold Red Cherry Tomatoes:
These were very good! Farmer Jacob let customers sample each varietal if they wanted to, and the Sungold Yellow Cherry Tomatoes were gorgeously sweet with a nice bit of acid. It had that deep, umami vibrant Tomato flavor. (@BradFord )
Organic Early Girl Tomatoes:
These 1st wave of regular-sized Tomatoes had a great combination of sweet and tart, it had the sweetness you love in in-season, ripe Tomatoes from the farm, but also enough acid to balance that out and get that great real Tomato flavor flowing through.

Arnett Farms
The 1st wave of Black Mission Figs season is over already. 
(It lasted only 3 weeks at Arnett Farms.) So look for the 2nd wave of Black Mission Figs later in the Summer.
Currently, it’s all stone fruit season, and our favorite this week has to be the…
Black Diamond Pluots:
The farmer mentions their Black Diamond Pluots are a combination of Plum, Apricot, and Pomegranate, and it’s got a beautiful bright Plum fragrance, but also some sweetness from Apricots and a touch of tart. It had multiple layers of flavors.

Murray Family Farms
While Cherry season is over, Murray Family Farms’ 2nd most popular season is upon us now, with their Heirloom Grapes arriving! Over the course of the Summer, Murray Family Farms offers countless varietals of Grapes, probably the most extensive list of Grapes I’ve seen at any of our local Farmers Markets.
They just started with Thomcord Grapes, but this week marked the debut of their Candy lineup!
Organic Candy Snaps Grapes:
Murray Family Farms features 3 special Grape varietals each Summer, all under the “Candy” heading. The first is their Candy Snaps Grapes. We picked a few baskets of these this week.
They have a beautiful Strawberry(!) aroma, mixed with a sweet and tart Grape flavor. Tasty.
