Farmers Markets in and Near Toluca Lake

By now, you probably know that you can find pesticide-free produce at your local farmers market. But do you also know that by shopping there you reduce your carbon footprint, too? Buying locally grown produce instead of fruits and vegetables harvested, ripened, stored and transported from across the country or overseas leads to less pollution of air, water and soil. As if you needed another reason to enjoy the fresh produce, natural products, entertainment and community spirit you can find at our neighborhood markets!
