  2. Market Watch: In Mar Vista, an aquaponics farm just down the street

    Many growers proudly advertise their local origins, but when David Rosenstein of <a href="http://www.evofarm.com/">Evo Farm</a> sells his produce on Sunday for the first time at the Mar Vista farmers market, he says he will be talking "not about food miles, but food feet."

  3. Market Watch: A backyard dream mushrooms in Hacienda Heights

    Of the many Southern Californians starting urban farms these days, few have stories more colorful than Brett and Tanya Wyatt of <a href="http://brettwyattphd.com/">B&amp;T Farm</a>. Brett, 53, was an observant Jew studying geography at UC Davis, then a Buddhist monk in Myanmar, where he managed to flee just before the regime raided his monastery. He then earned a doctorate analyzing organic farming concepts in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where he met Tanya, 44, who supervised a farm group and grew mushrooms. A year ago he returned to California to teach computer skills at a public high school in Watts, and they promptly decided to establish an urban farm.

  4. County Line Harvest's fruitful foray into Coachella farming

    THERMAL, Calif. &mdash; One of the most highly regarded farms in Northern California, Petaluma-based <a href="http://www.countylineharvest.com/">County Line Harvest</a> started growing organic vegetables in the Coachella desert to extend its production in the winter and spring.

  5. Beauty products made with natural ingredients

    It's never been easier to feel like a natural woman. The 1960s mantra about getting ourselves back to the garden now applies to an increasing number of beauty products, with some small companies literally going to the garden and farm to bring customers fresh, natural, pure and organic ingredients in their hair- and skin-care items.

  7. Market Watch: Olive oil, from the hills of Topanga

    In the last two decades, there's been a tremendous surge in production of artisanal olive oil in California as consumers have developed an appreciation for the freshness, high quality and distinctive flavors that good locally produced oil can provide. This boom has carried over into farmers markets, where there has been a rush of new vendors, although many of them are not certified producers who are required to grow what they sell. Of the olive growers who are, one of the most intriguingly local is Joyce Lukon of <a href="http://robinsonroadoliveranch.com/">Robinson Road Olive Ranch,</a> who harvested her small crop last Sunday from a hillside next to her home in Topanga.

  9. Market Watch: The cold beauty of colored kale

    Colored kale plants with red or purple centers and greenish outer leaves have long been popular as ornamental plants, for home gardens and street landscaping. Although edible, they were really more beautiful than delicious; but several newer varieties that have become available at farmers markets in recent years offer exceptionally sweet flavor and tender texture in addition to striking appearance. They're at their best in midwinter and add festive color to holiday tables.

  10. Market Watch: In Ojai, hot chiles and a warm story

    Most native-born French recoil from chiles as if from snakes, but in the Basque country of the Pyrenees foothills, five miles from the Spanish border, the citizens of Espelette adore a unique local pod called the Espelette, conical, 3 to 4 inches long and medium hot, with thin flesh and many seeds. After harvest in late summer and fall, the vermilion pods are strung in ristra-like <i>cordes</i>, dried in the sun, roasted in bread ovens and ground into richly perfumed red-orange powder, with hints of hay, ripe tomatoes and toast.

  11. Market Watch: Farm brings every muscat imaginable

    One of the rarest but greatest pleasures of farmers markets is encountering passionate collectors who sell a wide range of rare fruit varieties normally grown only at specialty sites such as germplasm repositories and agricultural experiment stations. There's no better example than Patrice Dreckmann of Rainbow Heights Farm &amp; Nursery, who grows 50 varieties of muscat grapes and 43 varieties of figs just south of Temecula.
