Support Your Los Angeles Food Businesses

Hey fellow Angelenos! Thanks for visiting my website and choosing to partake in supporting our local farmers and restaurants!

Ordering produce and meal-kit boxes from independent businesses will keep our neighbors employed and our spending recirculating within our communities. Now more than ever, the Southern California farmers that supply many of the city’s high-profile restaurants need support. If low on fruit and vegetables, consider supporting LA restaurants and local farmers by buying produce from these restaurants, cafes, and bars. Many of your favorite food businesses have pivoted to new models, not to profit but in many cases, to keep their furloughed employees’ benefits intact.

The following lists are businesses in and around Los Angeles that offer food, groceries, and pick-up’s.

FARMS OFFERING PRODUCE, BOXES, or PICK-UP’S

Check your nearest Farmer’s Markets and contact your local farmers for grab and go boxes. These boxes usually include seasonal produce, eggs, and fruits. We currently use Gaytan Family Farm and do pick-up’s from the Torrance Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays. I advise reaching out to the farms directly to confirm method of payment and pre-orders. We generally search for them on Instagram and DM.
