It's almost like making a definitive statement based on a broad generalization of what a farmer's market is, and does, is a bad idea.

The author's mention that their focus is San Diego and point to the fact that most of these garden or markets are in areas that are gentrified or have higher incomes. They also use two local non profits with different methods as case studies and compare the changes in their neighborhoods over the last decade. 

Based on my own experience, Baltimore's markets are more like San Diego and less like what you're describing in LA. If you actually read their work and don't go off of the  reports from conservative outlets, no definitive statements along those lines are made.
