Larchmont Farmers' Market — Attraction in Los Angeles

Parasite found from vendor C&L FARMS LLC. I purchased blackberries from Larchmont Village earlier this month. I cleaned the blackberries and as I was eating them, I noticed this worm. Later that evening I became very sick with flu like systems and diarrhea that lasted for 1 1/2 days.

He didn't even offer the money I spent for the infected blackberries. He said he never had this happen to him before.

No problem, I stopped hitting Larchmont all together. The local business community should really get together to do something about this. It's coming at the expense of...

The Best Celeb sightings are here! Stars galore vegetable shopping through the market stalls. Go early. It is very over priced for almost everything, however, a must see LA market. Do not assume organic unless the stall says so. Curbside parking is free on all the side streets in Hancock Park and easier to access then the public parking on Larchmont. Candle vendor here has amazing scented soy candles that make great gifts.

Check out Peets right across the street for a quick moving coffee line , AC and great pastries

Santa Monica farmers market is the same, get there early for celeb sightings and...
