Many of the 'farmers market' vendors here start their day at the wholesale market. It's not farm to table at all. Used to be lots of agriculture close by. I'm talking the 50's. Now anything that doesn't come from a backyard comes from 100 miles away. People like Craighster59 live much closer to farms up near Santa Paula CA. Avocadoes can come from San Diego County. Produce comes from Coachella way out by the Colorado River. It's a desert out there set up to rob water from the river. But they grow a lot of winter crops. The orchards that once populated Orange County and places like Knott's Berry Farm have been gone for 60 years.
