Yesterday’s LA Times Food Section has a nice article on a number of different Farmers Markets around town. It is interesting to read about the many markets in areas outside of the major markets I think of, like Santa Monica and Hollywood. For instance in Chinatown:

The Chinatown market has only about 10 booths most weeks. Vegetable vendors display 6-foot-long poles of sugar cane, giant daikon, piles of Chinese peas, various greens, Chinese broccoli. I was thrilled to find hot, fresh-roasted chestnuts from the Chestnut King (Rosemead) and peeled and ate them from a paper cone as I walked around. There were plenty of takers too (though the market’s just steps away from dozens of restaurants) for the rotisserie Hawaiian chicken turning on large spits.

In addition to the article, there is also a listing of the where and when for local markets.
