Farmers' Market, Food Truck Feast

Stock up on your produce—or satisfy your sweet tooth while doing some good—and then get something fresh and warm off the stove for dinner.

1. Highland Park Old L.A. Certified Farmers' Market & Outdoor Fair

Highland Park's weekly Farmers' Market is scheduled today, Tuesday, Oct. 29, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Avenue 57 and Marmion Way, adjacent to the Metro Gold Line. This is a special kind of market: Proceeds go to the North Figueroa Association, a nonprofit group that will use the money for the security, cleanliness and improvement of the North Fig corridor and community. And this month, for the whole of October, Mardy's Munchies, the Montecito Heights bakery, will be donating 10 percent of all its proceeds from sales at the farmers' market to Aldama Elementary School. So this is your last chance to satisfy your sweet tooth and make a difference. Questions? Call (323) 255-5030 or visit www.oldla.org.
