  1. Farmers Markets: A CSA model for seafood in Santa Monica

    Fishermen selling their own catch at Southern California farmers markets are vanishing. An attractive alternative is Community <a href="http://www.communityseafood.com/">Seafood,</a> a "community-supported fishery" that started selling last Sunday at the <a href="http://www.smgov.net/Portals/Farmers_Market/Market_Days/Sundays/Sunday_Main_Street.aspx">Santa Monica Main Street farmers market</a>. Founded by two marine scientists, Sarah Rathbone and Kim Selkoe, it seeks to support local fisheries and provide ultra-fresh, sustainably caught fish to subscribers.

  3. Across the Table: The master of schnapps, and gin too

    Here's the problem: "I'm a wine lover," says Hans Reisetbauer, spreading his hands for emphasis. But he was unlucky enough to be raised in upper Austria, too far north to grow grapes. The son of a farmer, at school he studied agriculture, but normal farming, like wheat or corn, didn't interest him much. So when Reisetbauer took over the family farm, he thought he'd try planting some old varieties of apple trees and selling the fruit. Bad timing: In 1993, his first harvest, the apple crop in Austria was huge and prices were paltry.

  6. Blum Ranch in Acton keeps it old school

    For a vision from a century ago, when farms covered Los Angeles County, there's no better time machine than <a href="http://www.blumranch.com/,">Blum Ranch</a> in Acton, southwest of Palmdale. Just off the 14 freeway, about an hour north of downtown, its 40 acres of peach and pear orchards are the largest deciduous fruit planting so close to the city. The century-old stone house, the streamlined 1940 tractor, the ancient, creaky trees and the fruit they produce are as defiantly old school as the owners, Ray and Elizabeth Billet.

  7. Beverly Glen farmers market makes a comeback

    The Beverly Glen farmers market, which had a soft opening last Saturday at the Glen Centre shopping mall just south of Mulholland Drive, revives an event that debuted 11 years ago.

The sponsor remains <a href="http://www.rawinspiration.org/,">Raw Inspiration</a> a nonprofit that has in the interim grown from 5 to 21 farmers markets in the Los Angeles area, run through an operating affiliate, <a href="http://www.ccfm.com/">California Certified Farmers Markets</a>.

  10. Market Watch: Elevating the cactus pear

    The cactus pear is the Rodney Dangerfield of the fruit world, beloved by immigrants from parts of Latin America and the Mediterranean basin but largely ignored by most consumers in the United States. That may be changing, however, as the leading domestic cactus pear producer, Salinas-based <a href="http://www.andyboy.com/">D'Arrigo Bros.,</a> has introduced four new, greatly improved varieties &#8212; orange, red, purple and green &#8212; that are firmer, sweeter and juicier than the traditional variety it has marketed for the last 80 years. They're starting to be sold at <a href="http://www.gelsons.com/">Gelson's</a> today and are well worth searching out.

  11. Market Watch: The magnificent Warren pear

    With the partial exception of Bartletts, great locally grown pears are scarce at farmers markets in Southern California, where warm winters and disease render cultivation problematic. This makes it all the more special that Al Courchesne of Frog Hollow Farm, a rock star organic fruit grower from Brentwood, Calif., an hour east of San Francisco, will make a cameo appearance the next two Wednesdays at the Santa Monica farmers market to sell his legendary Warren pears.

  12. The quince: Queen of the fall fruits

    Daily Dish
    The quince doesn't come up often when you ask people what is their favorite fall fruit, but cook them and they turn meltingly tender, with a lovely rosy color and a fragrance and flavor that conjures up pears and spices and maybe a touch of orange...
