Editors' Note:
Since its inception in January 1999 Vegetarians in Paradise has visited a number of markets in the greater Los Angeles area. An index to our articles can be found at http://www.vegparadise.com/producehuntarchive.html/. Many changes have occurred at the markets we visited since those articles have been written.

In an effort to assist our readers in finding current data on farmers' markets, Vegetarians in Paradise has organized this database of information. As always, we are grateful to you our readers for any corrections and additions you may suggest.
