Farm Fresh, in Hollywood?

Hollywood Farmers Market and Wattles Garden Park

For city dwellers or visitors who want to experience farm fresh Hollywood style, visit the Sunday Hollywood Farmers' Market. Here you can peruse an eclectic selection of locally grown produce, all within view of the Hollywood Sign. This market is not only one of LA's oldest, it's also one of its biggest. Their 160 vendors include Ridiculous Baking Company, where you can grab a flaky vegan almond croissant, and Underwood Family Farms, which single-handedly grows and supplies all of the hot peppers used in Huy Fong Food's famous sriracha sauce.

BONUS HIKE: When your canvas tote bags have had their fill, head over to nearby Wattles Gardens Park (pictured). This 3-mile (round-trip) hike starts just a few blocks from popular Runyon Canyon, but as the narrow path snakes up through the back side of the canyon, it feels like a world away. Although most of the path is soft dirt, there are some places where you have to climb over rocks. The trail meets up with Runyon Canyon's hiking trail at the top, so you can choose to either lengthen your hike or turn around. Back at the bottom, take a stroll through the grounds of the Wattles Mansion. The inside is closed to the public, but you can admire the historic Mission-style home from the front lawn, while taking a peek at the papaya and pomegranate trees that poke over the fence of the neighboring Wattles Farm Community Garden.

The Hollywood Farmers' Market is at Ivar Ave. and Selma Ave. in Hollywood every Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. No dogs. The entrance to Wattles Gardens Park and Wattles Mansion is on N. Curson Ave., just north of Hollywood Blvd. Dog-friendly!
