The Original Farmers Market

Established in 1934, when a dozen local farmers parked their trucks on an open field (once a dairy farm) to sell fresh produce to local residents, the Market has remained true to its roots ever since. Over 75 years later the Farmers Market remains the one stop shop for every visitor’s needs.

Food stalls with an array of different cuisines as well as fresh fruit , baked goods , and even a store dedicated solely to tabasco ! Loved the vintage take on some of the stores.

Los Angeles

Opened in 1934 and with much of its original flavor — the freshest produce, gourmet meats and cheeses , and hot donuts — plus a few extra touches (gluten-free pizza , gumbo , authentic Mexican food ).

C Bartza

I come here a lot. Really nice farmers market . Food, trinkets and almost everything else. Right next to The Grove so you could spend a whole day. Well worth the visit.

Alex D Amico

Amazing selection of cuisine and great quality food. A historical place with with iconic character... Come hungry.

This farmers market reminds me of the tapas markets in Madrid. Get there early to grab a seat and eat savory crepes while you watch the hustle and bustle as everything opens.

Catsi Catalan

At the farmers market , fresh pasta stands out as a delightful treat. Made with locally sourced ingredients and crafted with care, each bite is a celebration of flavor and freshness.

Not your traditional farmers market where you'll expect fruit and vegetable stands, there is some but the majority are restaurants that range from Cajun to Mediterranean to regular good ol' barbecue

Justin Ordoveza

A wonderful place filled with the cuisines of the world. This place is a foody mecca. More of a bazaar than a market . Be warned the grove parking is a completely different entity.

Rachel Yalowitz

I love everything about this place. There's so many different types of food to try here! I would highly recommend trying the Brazilian place! You can never go wrong getting food at this place!

I prefer picking an exotic piece of fruit myself, however dangerous the circumstances, but the quality and selection of tastes here might be worth risking your life for as well , should it be crowded .

I just adore strolling around the FM. Lunch here is usually a delight for the tastebuds! Highly recommended to all ages

Kenny Liao

If you see an open spot in the Farmers Market parking lot , grab it! Make sure you get a 2-hour validation pass from any of the merchants inside (but not from stores in The Grove).

Julian Nam

via LA Mag: The market remains overwhelmingly quirky, from the funky souvenir stands to the Shine Gallery 's vintage toys . Hosts some of the city 's finest butchers & fishmongers .

Sara

Love the atmosphere, cheap food and other random stuff ????????

Marlo G

A foodie's paradise and gawker's delight, it's right behind CBS where DWTS & American Idol tape. Home to the Pinkberry test shop, you'll get to try things that may not be rolled out!
