What's At Your Local Farmers Market? The Bountiful Fresh Veggies, Fruits, Meats, Nuts and More Grown By Your Local Farmers [Thoughts + Pics]

Update 4:

Hollywood Farmers Market

Some more nice produce appearing during the bountiful Summer. :slight_smile:

Roots Organic Farm


Roots Organic Farm just got in their first batch of Organic Heirloom Tomatoes!

Organic Heirloom Tomatoes:

Organic Potatoes (5 Types):

While nearby Weiser Family Farms has been our go-to for great Potatoes, we were curious how the new Roots Organic Farm’s Potatoes were, so we picked up a few.

They offer 5 varieties, and we picked up a classic Organic Gold Potato and a Purple Potato and gave it a quick Herb & Oil bake in the oven:

They were delicious! :blush: A gentle earthy, starchy quality, but soft, deeply potato-y. And they crisped up nicely in the oven. :slight_smile:

Wong Farms

In a strange, fortuitous happening (either that, or they heard @maccrogenoff’s recommendation!), :wink: we saw that Wong Farms and their much talked about (here on Hungry Onion) farm-grown Mangoes appeared at the Hollywood Farmers Market(!). :open_mouth: (We’ve never seen Wong Farms at Hollywood, ever.)

Valencia Pride Mangoes:

We had the farmhand help us pick out one of their Valencia Pride Mangoes, and we let it sit out on the kitchen counter for a couple days to ripen up and soften a bit. Then, after peeling:

These have to be some of the sweetest, most fragrant, tropical, delicious Mangoes we’ve ever eaten (not in a dessert)! :heart: (@chienrouge @ipsedixit @paranoidgarliclover @BradFord @js76wisco and all.)

They were fantastic! Thanks for the recommendation @maccrogenoff .

Tenerelli Orchards

Sugar Lady White Peaches:

Tenerelli’s next varietal of White Peaches for the Summer has appeared! Their famous “Sugar Lady” White Peaches. Letting them ripen for a couple days, they were bursting with juicy, sweet, fragrant Peach flavor. :blush: Definitely worth getting if you’re a Peach fan. :peach:

Arnett Farms

It’s prime stone fruit season still, and Arnett Farms shows off why they are a Stone Fruit Specialist, with at least 10+ varietals this week alone.

Checking in with their reliable farmhands, we asked what the best ones were this week. They recommended:

Geo Pride Pluots:

Which were just this beautiful, classic Pluot (Plum + Apricot) flavor combination. It was a sweet, lightly Plum flavor infused with deep Apricot notes. :blush:

One interesting note: When we asked about our favorite stone fruit of the season - Flavor King Pluots - the Arnett Farms helper mentioned that their Irvine Farmers Market booth was by far the largest in Southern California for them, easily 10 times the size of their Hollywood booth space(!), and Hollywood Farmers Market is one of the biggest in So Cal. He said Irvine would get it first, and then the other Farmers Markets. Interesting. (@js76wisco FYI)

Murray Family Farms

Murray Family Farms is probably the most impressive Cherry and Grape Farm / Specialist we’ve ever run across. While Cherry season is over (sad), Grape season is upon us, and the crazy varietals just keep rolling in.

This past week Murray Family Farms just got in one of my all-time favorite varietals for the Summer:

IFG-34 Organic Grapes:

They are a dark red, oval style of Grape, and they describe it as a combination of Concord and Muscat flavors. It tastes like an “all-natural Grape Soda” with deep Muscat aromas, a stunning sweetness and more. It is incredible! :heart: (@ipsedixit @ElsieDee @paranoidgarliclover @BradFord @chienrouge @A5KOBE @Sgee and all.)
