ONEgeneration Encino Farmers Market
 ONEgeneration
Encino Farmers Market is a fun way for every one in the family
to spend time together for shopping, food and fun! The market is
open year round on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at
17400 Victory Blvd. (between White Oak and Balboa) with plenty
of convenient parking. We are a certified farmers market,
featuring a great variety of California grown fruits,
vegetables, fresh flowers, eggs and chicken, honey, mushrooms,
plants, and more! During the peak months between May and
November, about 40 farms from all over central and Southern
California participate.
In addition to farm products, the market also offers prepared
food: omelets, kosher hot dogs, gourmet tamales, vegan products,
delicious kettle corn plus coffee, lattes, teas and fruit
smoothies. Two bakeries and a fishmonger complete the market.
While shopping at the market, enjoy buying carefully selected
craft products like hand made soaps, hats and hand crafted
clothing, jewelry and more.
ONEgeneration Encino Farmers Market is a community gathering
place, where neighbors meet to shop, then have a leisurely bite
to eat under the umbrellas in the food court. Many people
comment on the relaxed atmosphere, reminiscent of European
markets.

Recipe
Marinated Vegetables
|
These make a wonderful
low calorie appetizer. The marinade works well
for green beans, carrots and cauliflower, so you
can mix the veggies or make them separately.

2 pounds small
green beans*
baby carrots*, or cauliflowerets*
water
3 tablespoons coarse (kosher) salt
2 teaspoons each mustard seed and dill weed
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon dill seed
4 cloves garlic*
2 cups white vinegar

Snip ends from beans, peel and cut baby carrots
at least in half. In a large pan, bring 2 quarts
of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt and the
vegetables. Return to a boil and cook for 4-5 minutes
or until vegetables are barely fork tender. Drain
immediately and cool. Turn vegetables into a large
