Does your Farmer at Farmer’s Market Really Grow What They Sell?
So many markets, so many farmers. Do they really all grow their own?
When we hear reports that “farmers” are going to the Los Angeles produce market and “picking” up produce from all over the world and then taking it to one of the 300 markets around the Los Angeles area, we have reason to be upset.
These peddlers need to be investigated and fined and banned from the real Farmer’s Markets.
I have been going to the Pasadena Market for many many years and the manager of the market, is very diligent as are the Dept of Ag officers that appear on a regular basis to check the permits.
But does the Dept of Ag really do the necessary research to know where the products the farmers are selling comes from?
NBC did some undercover work, and apparently confirmed that some farmers are in fact not growing some of the items they are selling. Just as disturbing, some using pesticides or don’t know if they use pesticides and claim they are “organic” or don’t use pesticides.
More to follow.
In the meantime read the whole NBCLA story here.
And here’s a post from Justin Dervaes from Freedom Gardens. A garden that sells what they grow in the Pasadena/Altadena area. Read here
This is why a community market, like the Arroyo Co-Op, could help locally with establishing and monitoring relationships with farmers and practices they use.
Kelly Wearstler Designer
Flirts with what goes over the top.
She grew up in Myrtle Beach, moved to Los Angeles in 1994 working on movie sets, waited tables.
She posed for Playboy, no regrets, it’s a little different now.
She didn’t hang out at the mansion
she used the money to start her new company
Inspired by Dorothy Draper she was old, sassy and full of life
Wearstler caught the eye of Gwen Stefanni, the runway show they traded tips.
the whole package of beauty
Huge buzz, she likes fashion a lot.
her closet is packed
Frank her teddy bear, 98 years old.
Oprah is a big fan.
42 year old lives with her husband and son.
She is always hunting, she is at a store, people who collect and understand, the next colorful design.
The days of waiting tables paid off for Kelly.
“Living without color is like living without love” -Kelly Wearstler
Wearstler’s debut monograph, Modern Glamour: The Art of Unexpected Style (Regan Books/HarperCollins, 2004), was a Los Angeles Times bestseller. A follow-up for Regan Books, titled Domicilium Decoratus, featuring the designer’s former Beverly Hills residence, was initially published in 2005 as a deluxe, limited-edition folio; a general edition followed in 2006. Released in November 2009, Wearstler’s highly anticipated new AMMO Books title, HUE, is an elegantly photographed and designed book that celebrates the power of color and showcases her most recent projects while serving as inspiring eye-candy for interior design and decorating fans.
The award-winning interior designer is not only highly regarded among her peers, but she is also widely recognized in the press. Wearstler was named one of the style leaders in 2010 by Town & Country; honored as one of House Beautiful’s best designers; recognized for her interior design work by Bon Appetit; dubbed one of the design world’s top tastemakers by House & Garden; named one of the elite “Design 100” by Time Style & Design; and designated as one of the top 25 trendsetters of the year by Modern Bride. Named one of the best dressed of the year by Vogue and oft-heralded for her distinctive personal style, she is also a regular contributor on living with style to such fashion bibles as Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and W. She also served as a judge on the Bravo network’s interior design competition series, “Top Design.”
As the namesake and creator of several product lines, Wearstler enjoys sharing her signature style with design professionals and discriminating retail shoppers. Fall 2007 marked the opening of the Kelly Wearstler boutique at Bergdorf Goodman. The boutique showcases a range of decorative home accessories and a selection of furniture designed by Wearstler exclusively for the legendary store, with a selection of new items introduced on a seasonal basis. An extensive collection of handmade carpets with The Rug Company debuted in Spring 2008, followed by fabrics and trims with Groundworks at Lee Jofa in Fall 2008, soft home goods with Sferra in Spring 2009 and dinnerware with Pickard China in Fall 2009. A follow-up collection of fabrics, trimmings and wallcoverings with Lee Jofa is currently in development. The interior designer is now focusing on an expansion that will mark the evolution of the Kelly Wearstler brand.
Wearstler received her BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art. She currently resides in Beverly Hills, California.

What’s the new normal? There is no same old road or things the way they used to be.
Major Meltdowns.
For an entire decade jobless rates are higher
Like the great Depression,
Robert Reich, omnis depress and great recession parallels.
Money went to people at the top
1928
and 2007
the richest 1% where taking home 1/4 of the money! when the economy was suffering.
It is going to mean higher taxes for rich.
economy depends on the middle class, those who spend.
huge tax cuts for the rich and it didn’t trickle down
35% taxes could go to 40%
Henry Ford had the right idea
Fashion Week just ended. Getting anyone to buy anything, it is very hard. Cost
6 out of 10 are spending less
major casualty is housing
high quality modular homes
blu in Springfield Mass.
mora mccarthy spend $250k vs 600k$
Homes fold up.
expects 30 this year then 60 next and multiples after that
aftermath
350k solar panels outside of phoenix, can power 6,000
Rob Gillete First Solar fast solar company,
2.6 billion in revenue makes and installs and manages solar systems
Harrisburg Ohio, 1200 employees
The new normal is hard times
