You paid $10 for 12 ears of corn? Are you mad?
 
The farmers market in Santa Monica at 2nd and Arizona held on Wednesdays is glorious. I am partial to the apple merchants who dry-farm a wonderful variety (on Arizona halfway btw. Ocean and 2nd), the greens and herbs sold by the guy with the Cambodian shirts, his comely sons and moody Joy (on 2nd, 3 booths or so down from the Wilshire end--the chard here is beyond compare), the Asian pears sold just east of the promenade, the melons kitty-corner, the rainbow of eggplants at a stand on Arizona between 3rd and 2nd, Fairview Gardens (but nearly as spendy as Chino Farms) and the Barhi dates sold by the fellow on Arizona between Ocean and 2nd (the gentle contrast between the fresh Barhis and the year-old rehydrated ones is enchanting).
