Blog: Support Your Community & Your Neighbors

Support local businesses and your community. We hope to see you at the Studio City Farmers Market every Sunday from 8am to 2pm, rain or shine, except for December 30th, 2012.

Here is an idea.  Let’s buy Christmas, Hanukkah, (or whatever you celebrate) presents from small local businesses and self-employed people. 

For example, from your neighbor who sells online, a local craftsperson who makes jewelry or pottery, the stunning local florists shop, the local bakers that make homemade cakes, bread and chocolates.  Go to small family owned cafés or a salon.  And, of course attend your local farmers market. 

Let’s make sure our money goes to individual people and not multinational companies.  This way, more local people will have a better holiday season.  Support your community and support your neighbors!
