If you came for the farmers, you were not disappointed! Charles Southward of IGH Gardens returned with his bountiful greens and collards. Farmer Ken had farm boxes, herbs, cage-free eggs, and more. Imani Gardens had hard to find exotic fruit such as Soursop, key limes, seeded grapes, cherimoya, and plenty more fruits we never heard of before! Here We Grow Gardens returned with their juicy tomatoes, kale, greens, and aloe vera gel & plants. If you were lucky (and early) you got to try her blood orange juice! Crop Swap LA brought their wealth of knowledge and offered their signature garden consultations, vertical gardens, lettuces, and merch!

If you have been to Prosperity Market before, you should know that you can always find Misha’s Kind Foods and their vegan cream cheese. Misha’s is quite the fan favorite and a staple at Prosperity. Prins Wellness is another fixture. They serve up delicious pressed juice at their gorgeous booth. This month Cooking With Love joined us for the first time with their delicious, world famous peach cobbler seamoss and other delicious wellness products. This Peach Cobbler Seamoss was an absolute hit and it’s clear why it’s a favorite of Tabitha Brown. Plush Ginger Beer is also a new vendor this month, but if the crowd was any indication, they will be back by popular demand. Every one of these 5 fruit based, artisan ginger beers were delicious! This month Sip & Sonder joined us and brought their delicious coffee, whole coffee beans, and beautiful merch! They are true coffee connoisseurs and have their roasted beans down to a science.

You may have come for the food, but I bet you didn’t leave without a few artisan goods in your bag. Oldest of Three has the most beautiful handcrafted jewelry, and their booth just gets more and more gorgeous with each market. Holistic Divine Innovations had herbal soaps and herbal teas on site, and readily shared their wealth of knowledge and calming sound baths. Queen Boutique had beautiful house plants available, The Farmacy Flowers had gorgeous dried floral arrangements and fun pots, and guests loved creating their own floral arrangements at Meadows Floral Bar.

We ended our weekend, as we always do, with a free produce giveaway. This month our giveaway was at the Park Mesa Heights Community Council, just a couple blocks up from Crenshaw & Slauson. We chose this location in direct response to Krogers closing the Ralph’s at that intersection due to temporary hazard pay required by the city. South Central has limited access to grocery stores and healthy, affordable food as is, so we take it personal when you close a grocery store here. In partnership with several organizations we provided 200+ boxes of organic produce from Summaeverythang Community Center. We also shared community resources and voting information courtesy of Park Mesa Heights Community Council, PPE from WIN LA, and a list of black owned grocery retailers and farmers markets.
