12 Great Produce Boxes To Order & Support LA Farms image

It’s no secret that the restaurant industry is struggling. But the industries and people that rely on restaurants are also struggling - and farms are the perfect example. Local farms around LA count on restaurants to buy their produce, and with restaurants partially (and, in some cases, completely) shut down, these farms are looking for new ways to stay afloat. So support local California farmers - and, in the process, take advantage of the tremendous fresh produce we have in our region - by ordering one of these 12 boxes loaded with fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and more.
