The Farmer's Market is Born
"In July 1934, a contingent of farmers pulled their trucks onto an expanse of empty land at the corner of Third and Fairfax in Los Angeles. They displayed their produce on the tailgates of their vehicles. To their delight, customers quickly arrived and parked their cars on a hastily created dirt parking lot in spaces designated with chalk. The atmosphere was casual, the open air commerce enticing, the good fresh, and the result remarkable. The farmer's market became an instant institution."
