There are so many good things about this farmer's market.  
One, it is open 7 days a week.  None of this Saturdays only from 8am to 12pm.  No.  It's fresh fruits and vegetables are available to you 7 days a week.  
Two, the service is quite good.  At checkout, the clerk puts your items in boxes.  From a marketing standpoint, it gives the customer the feel of having gotten their goods from a farm.  But it works.  It's a nice memory.  If someone needs help out to their car, that's also available.  The service at this store is quite good.  If it is available, I like to pick up a few bottles of Claravale's Raw Milk.  The last time I was in the store was out of it.  It sells out quickly.  I asked the stock clerk if he had any more in the back.  He said he would check.  He took the time out of his busy routine to check.  He didn't have to, but he did.  That was service, and it was thoughtful service.  
Three, parking during most hours is plentiful.  But if there's no space in the lot, there's usually space on the streets.  So no problems there. 
Four, their cheese selection is pretty good.
Five, they have a terrific selection of nuts, cookies, crackers, and candies.  
I love this place.  I love the fact that it is so close.  The nearest cross street is Brea Canyon Road.

I first stopped at Kim's Repair, and the owner told me that the hole on the side of my shoe could not be repaired.  He said that when he glues the leather together that it would not adhere to the soul of the shoe.  I think that he didn't want my business.  I think he presented me with options that would fail. He had other options.  He just didn't want my business. That's okay.

The owner of this tiny shoe repair store looks to be a couple from Mexico.  They could be from Central America too.  I didn't ask.  But he offered to repair my shoes for $15 and told me that they would be ready in a few days.  A few days later, I stopped in to pick up my shoes.  They looked good.  They wore well.  I hope that they last.  So far they have.  It's April 30, 2014, and I have not had any problems with the shoes.  So this repair store gets my highest rating of 5 stars *****.

May 24, 2014 UPDATE:
Tonight as I returned from Huntington Beach, I found that my shoes were destroyed.  "How!" I asked myself.  "I didn't run in them, not in these shoes.  I didn't hike up rocky or uneven terrain of any kind.  In fact, I walked just a short way on the smooth bike path in Huntington Beach."  Turns out that the shoe came apart due to the stresses imposed on the other side of the shoe where a repairman had fixed the shoe back in late January.  Yeah, when the owner from the small shoe repair at Diamond Bar and Grand Avenue "fixed" my shoe, the repaired stitch caused weakness on the opposite side of the shoe and it came apart as you can see in the picture below. I should have checked the reviews on this guy.  They are not good.
