Must be a California thing.
Here in Connecticut there are farmers markets every weekend in most towns and there are seasonal farm stands everywhere.
The farm stands are certainly fresher than the grocery stores, but they are about the same price.
Connecticut grown produce is at its peak right now. Corn, tomatoes, peppers, just great!
La was the cradle of the food truck business. All varieties. Saw one Mexican Korean fusion.
Some have great reps and clientele.
It's so true. I literally cannot drive a mile in any direction without passing a farmstand. Of course some are obviously better than others. Some sell homemade pie in apple season. Added value is everything.
