There are mounds of melons, piles of peaches and other stone fruit, a cornucopia of organic corn, and the first peppers are showing up.
The streets around the Hollywood Farmers Market are challenging to navigate — patrons of tighty-whitey night were spilling out of a club on Cahuenga; we averted our eyes and headed off along Hollywood Blvd. toward the market. As we headed down Cosmo, we passed a homeless father and child sitting up in their sleeping bags and getting ready for the day.
Clubbers and homeless people co-exist in Hollywood on Saturday nights. I don't know what any of them think of us early morning farmers market-ers with our cloth shopping bags. But we all move past each other in our own spheres of existence.
Here's a list of the organic produce we brought home with us:
mini orange and red peppers, a reddish green pepper, tomatillos, cilantro, 4 jalapeños, 3 shiitake mushrooms, 3 cremini mushrooms, 1 bunch collard greens, 4 artichokes, shisito peppers, 12 oz shelled pistachios from Santa Barbara Pistachio Co, green grapes, 4 red potatoes, 2 avocados, cantaloupe, 12 oranges, 4 Williams' Pride apples, 2 zestar apples, and 2 dozen eggs.
