It's stone fruit season!
Hollywood's Farmer's Market is huge, delicious, pretty easy to get to from many parts of town, and nicely scheduled for Sunday mornings.
Still plenty of this season's cherries left.
And after you've got your bags of fruit you can check in at Amoeba or join a protest in front of the CNN building.
Mr. Ha's apples. If you ever hear someone in LA really raving about how amazing an apple tastes, it's a good bet that they got it from his farm. Once I watched Mr. Ha hand feeding slices of different apples into Jake Gyllenhaal's mouth. It was, umm, strange.
More deliciousness after the jump.
There's always a master gardener at a table in the center of the market as well to answer your questions about fighting bugs organically, watering and growing food in your own yard.
Purple potatoes don't really taste different, but they look great.
The South Central Farmers are still going strong
The market is along Ivar between Sunset and and Hollywood form 8 am to 1 pm. More info at their website.
And if it all seems a little overwhelming, or if you're a late riser, there's the smaller Atwater Village Farmer's Market, also on Sunday, on Glendale near Brunswick that goes until 2 p.m.

Hollywood's farmers market is a great attraction for the locals in the Hollywood Community. Cosmo Lofts' (http://www.cosmolofts.com) tenants enjoy the ability to walk out of their building and into a cultural environment for frest produce or some great eats. Creative Environments of Hollywood (http://www.creativenvironments.net) said it is a great attraction that assists their leasing of the property. The Farmer's Market also brings to Hollywood community closer together week after week.

Ahh sweet commercialism. Don't let a moment pass without it.

So this is within walking distance of the L.A. Weekly?

Love the photos and I agree, Ha's apples are to die for! I haven't been up to the Hollywood Market in a while but you have made me want to go soon!

Hello Matilda -
Yes, once upon a time, this was indeed walking distance from the Weekly. No longer. Our offices are now in Culver City nestled into the bosom of the 405. Culver City does however have a quite nice Farmer's Market on Tuesday afternoons, and I plan on checking it out and putting up a post about it soon.
thanks.
