Downtown residents still have limited options for quickly and easily getting organic fruits and veggies. I'm all about supporting local small businesses, so here's where I currently buy mine:
• Summerland Produce Co.: Founded in 2012 and based in the Arts District, this Downtown L.A. organic produce delivery service launched last summer. I get a "Mostly Fruit" box delivered every other week.
• Better Life Organics: To supplement my biweekly deliveries, I get my vegetables at this stall in the Produce District (ironically, located behind McDonald's near Central Ave. and Olympic). Prices are reasonable -- I can typically get a 25-lb box for under $20.
