At the Santa Monica Farmers Market, vendors and customers adjust to a new normal. Full story:
Parsnips, carrots and heirloom potatoes crowded tables at Weiser Family Farms. A scattering of shoppers wore masks; others wore bandannas over their faces.
“It’s been slower today,” said Kevin Yasutomi, who operates Pico Rivera-based Yasutomi Farm with his 60-year-old mother, Ruriko. “But we’re still getting used to all the changes at this point.” “There was a statistic a few years ago that said 80% of small farmers in America are over 50 years old,” she said. “That’s a huge part of our community that is vulnerable right now.”
“Bill and I are both in our 70s, which makes us a high-risk group,” wrote Barbara Spencer in an email to The Times. “The food we and our fellow farmers grow is so vital to people, even more today, but being prudent was also an important choice for everyone at Windrose.”
