Los Angeles’s 10 Best Farmers Markets | Eater

"A bit smaller than some of the other LA farmers markets, this one still has enough variety to fill a basket to overflowing with fresh-cut flowers, orchard-ripened fruit, and crisp veggies from across the growing region. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Sunday, join the neighborhood regulars stuffing their reusable bags with produce while simultaneously nibbling on prepared foods of all stripes: tamales, crepes, burgers, pastries, fresh juices, and the like. Families with kids get a kick out of the petting zoo and pony rides. Don’t miss big community events like the annual Picklefest and Pie Bake." - Vox Creative

This market is a feast for the senses! From vibrant, farm-fresh produce to irresistible baked goods, sizzling BBQ, and the sweet aroma of kettle corn, there’s something to tempt every craving. The energy here is lively, with a live jazz band setting the perfect backdrop as you savor your finds in the cozy seating area. And the best part? It won’t break the bank! A generous bag of freshly popped kettle corn for just $4, and pastries ranging from $4 to $5—affordable indulgence at its finest. Whether you’re here for the food, the music, or simply the atmosphere, this market is an experience worth savoring!

This Farmers Market has something for the entire family to enjoy. Great music, food, a horse ride for the kids.

I love to spend Sunday morning in here. Always come to grab Harry’s Berries, the best strawberries in California! They sell fast! When the season starts you need to be there at 8am to get your box of pure joy and deliciousness. At Beverly Hills Farmers Market you can buy all the fruit and veggies directly from farmers, honey, olive oil, and freshly baked “normal” bread (flour, sourdough & water), and of course flowers 🌺

Beverly Hills Farmers Market is absolutely fantastic! It's small, but every vendor is high-quality, friendly, and knowledgeable. There is something for all ages and you'll want to come back again! I love the homemade pickles and cookies!

I like this market because the produce is amazing. There's also live music and select other vendors such as salsas, honey, meat, bread and juice. Parking is easy. Being cash because the only ATM is at the library (and it doesn't open until noon).

The most adorable Farmer’s Market in Los Angeles, California “Only in Beverly Hills” Farmer’s Market do you see Super sweet one hunchbacked Camel playing with a puppy... a wild Llama...a blue eyed goat... an adorable sheep and some random dwarf cow with dwarf pigs The produce and food vendors are awesome too hahahahaha

There is nothing wrong with it. Just don't go out of your way to come here. Probably not worth the Uber ride.

Cute spot for fresh food from local farmers and other specialties. Love coming here for the fresh food. BBQ and the tamales are my fav and the fresh juices and smoothies. They have good breads too. Free parking next to it, or if you're walking distance that's best. They usually have live music as well. Only negative is they have very limited seating to eat your food or sit and listen to the music

loved loved loved. First off they had a pickle eating contest which is all it takes for me really. Big fan of pickles. Tried such a variety of them. The atmosphere was so fun and lively. Went after 11, it was still pretty packed. There were many people with their families and kids. It was a really good time. Took some unique oils home, some produce, and met some friendly faces. definitely want to go back!

Beverly Hills has the most wonderful open-air Farmer's Market every Sunday morning from 9am to 1pm. It is located in back of the Beverly Hills library. Parking is free on Rexford Drive in the library's parking lot. The market is on Civic Center Drive (exit through the parking lot). The Farmer's Market always has a good variety of vendors. They have flowers, produce, ready made food stands, pre-packaged food, and specialty items. Always wonderful to shop local and support small business! Also, love being able to use cash. They sometimes have a band too! There are always tables and chairs for people who want to eat here. They also have a petting zoo which is fun for the kids! Warning: you may not want to come here during a heat wave. I made this mistake over the weekend and it was very uncomfortable shopping here because I was incredibly hot. Additionally, vendors were packing up to go home a half hour before closing probably because of the unbearable heat. I got some amazing seasonal produce here! Can't wait to use my peaches to make a peach crumble and my pattypan squash for my succotash recipe. My last hurrah to summer! Also, the cookies I got from Uzzi's Cookies were amazing!! I will be back in the cooler months!

One of my favorite, farmers markets! Easy parking, free and plentiful. I have a variety of food, fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and desserts as well. Very clean and well run, also not too busy. Highly recommended!

From the live jazz music, to the smell of freshly cooked kettle corn and tacos! From fresh farm eggs, flower arrangements, fresh seafood and poultry you really can't go wrong here!!!! Of course, all your traditional finds at farmers markets for produce, to fresh made bread, and homemade dips of all sorts. I love to support my black vendors herez. The female seafood trunk vendor that has comparable prices that of the grocery store you already know I'm going with her, if you were to look into my photos posted did see that there's a gentleman who sells outstanding fresh coldpressed juices and vegetable chips, and the real winner.... Black cat barbecue I dream of him and his barbecue... But what can I say I am blessed, blessed to work and Century City as well as live so I do frequent the Thursday farmers market that has recently returned to Century City business district and blessed to have Black Car BBQ any giving Thursday or Sunday! Please keep in mind that there are farmers here and they are resellers as with many farmers markets that many people do not notice please take the time to ask those that you're purchasing from if they purchase wholesale or they are the actual farmers himself, farmers are hurting right now as well as homemade makers it's very important that you know when you differentiate what vendors from the others. Most recently at the Westwood farmers market I found a vendor they are actually purchased from a farm that was at that same farmers market that doesn't seem right. Lastly there is a gentleman here, that sells cold pressed natural soaps and butters and ask someone who has been making homecare body care for over 20 years I have purchased his bars of soap and they are phenomenal and have outstanding medicinal qualities and I highly recommend if you can find him you consider purchasing natural organic body care. It is 7:43 AM on Sunday and I already have my shoes on as well as clothes lol and I am prepared to run out the door to make it for 9 AM (Mark my words I will be having a delicious plate of barbecue with greens and mac & cheese for breakfast/brunch this morning) (Talk to text)

I had high expectations for a farmers market located in Beverly Hills and I was certainly not disappointed. [Hours]: Sunday from 9 AM to 1 PM. [Parking]: The parking structure offers two-hour free parking. [Amenities & vendors]: There were over 50+ vendors (farmers/pre-packaged goods/food) and it was fairly crowded. I was surprised to see a mini petting zoo and the prices were $10 for each child, $10 for each parent, and $15 for pony ride. Occasionally this market got fun events like Picklefest Contest and live music was nice too. For whatever the reason, I noticed multiple vendors selling passion fruit and I actually don't see passion fruit often at other farmers markets. Overall a solid 4.5-star - easy parking, activities to keep children busy like petting zoo, and fun events. P.S. - 8 AM to 9 AM period is reserved for seniors and those at high risk due to COVID-19.

This is the best place in Beverly Hills to get fresh fruit and fresh produce, by far. It can be a little expensive - about $5 a pound is typical - but the quality is worth it. This is also a good place to get small plants, and the gardeners at places like this are always very knowledgeable. About 60% of the stalls are for fruit or plants, but there is a lot of other stuff here too - there's coffee, sandwiches, and even a little petting zoo with baby goats, geese, pigs, sheep, etc. There's also convenient parking. All in all, this place is worth the trip, especially for locals.

I'm so happy to be at the farmers market in Beverly Hills on this beautiful sunny day on 2/24/19!! We sampled and bought juices, sauerkraut, pickles, peanuts, hummus, tangerines and everything else the vendors offered! I love all the dogs walking around and took lots of Snapchats! We even checked out the petting zoo and took pix of the baby goats !!

Beverly Hills Farmers Market open 09:00 Sundays. When I want a fresh bouquet of casa blanca lillies or orchids, I come here before 09:00. When Mr Wolfgang Puck is in town, I always see him here shopping too. Because I usually shop at Bristol Farms or Whole Foods, I don't shop for too much produce here. It's always fun just to walk through and see the vendors with the stands of veggies, fruits, flowers, ready made and street made. I'm too squeamish to eat street foods, so pass for me. Most of the times, there's a small area with farm animals for kids. I've seen small pony's, rabbits, goats and the kids love it and I love it too! Oh, NO dogs allowed, so I'm not happy about it:( 2 star for this not dog friendly

ORGANIC OASIS Sunday mornings, it's fun to meander through the two-block Beverly Hills Farmers market. Sure, it's more expensive than most farmers markets, but it's convenient if you live nearby. Take your pick of organic lettuces, berries, root veggies, exotic dates, citrus fruits and more! Stock up on local honey, expensive handcrafted cookies for your Paleo diet, gluten-free granola, Italian balsamic vinegar in a variety of flavors, and handmade hummus. Stop at a food stall for a crepes, grab a seat and listen to live music. Have kids? Treat them to the petting zoo, where even you will want to touch the cute llamas, baby goats, lambs, and more. Mark off 9AM-1PM Sundays for this entertaining market.

Tamales, coffee or a green juice is usually my go-to at the Beverly Hills farmers market. Today I went to check out the produce because I want to start getting as much as I can from farmers markets versus the grocery store. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had most items I buy minus milk and fish. I also like how it's down a less busy side street and there's ample parking in the area.

Nice family friendly farmers market every sunday. They have a patting zoo for the kids and pony rides. Although i do think rhe vendors are a bit pricey and i never buy anything from here (maybe flowers), its nice to go check out and get some fresh air on a sunday morning. Especially if you have kids.

This is one of those best kept secrets in Los Angeles. When you think of Beverly Hills it conjures up rich snobs, but quite the contrary here at the farmers market. Unlike a lot of farmer's markets there is plenty of parking. Great way and place to spend the morning shopping for fresh products etc. Enjoy

It's almost like a tradition for me to come here on a Sunday morning now. The place is organized, clean and all the vendors I have had experience with provide great a service. They have a petting zoo area (my favorite part), a pony, already prepared food vendors, great prices on the produce and fruit (fresh and local) and there's even a seating area if you want to rest or eat while watching live entertainment. My absolute favorite things to get here are the gourmet balsamic vinegars and fresh flowers. Parking is not only FREE but there are sooo many spots! You won't have to waste time looking around for a spot so that just makes it even better.

The only thing that stands out in this market is the cute animal farm that had a few tortoises. All of the stands we visited had awful customer service. Even the little coffee stand- we had our card literally thrown back at us. Also I get that things at a farmers market are more expensive but some of what the stands were charging was robbery. I will never be going back, headed to another FM now!

Visited this farmers market today and was able to see a lot of beautiful local produce. Prices seemed reasonable and all the produce looked extremely fresh and beautiful in color. I expected the market to be a bit bigger than what I saw. There was a lot of vendors selling food. We tried some fresh baked bread, a tamale, and sampled the Afghan cart. The Afghan cart was delicious and had I been going home straight away I would have picked some dips up to bring back. There are some tables available to sit and enjoy the food. Very nice environment.

Our first stop, Harry's Berries. Although we were no so fortunate to snag Harry's Strawberries,!(they sold out in fifteen minutes), we picked up Harry's tomatoes. The best, most delicious tomato that I have tasted. From my own local farmers market I purchased tomatoes that were flavorless and so sorry for the purchase. Not at Harry's, I am so enchanted with his growing technique and wished that I knew his secret. As for the rest of the market, there are many great products, beautiful Dahlias the color of a deep dark purple, sushi grade fresh fish to name a few. Open each Sunday at 9:00 am.

Great farmers' market! Not the largest in size, loved everything there. There were lots of food stands, enough produce stands and lots of pretty flowers to sell! Everyone was really friendly too! What's great is that it's on Sundays, and parking in the city is free Sundays! Note: Sundays 9 am - 1 pm

Harry's berries are delicious here if you are craving good tasting strawberries. I think Harry infuses the soil with candy! They are that good and steeply priced at $8 per little pint. My other favorite is the sheep yogurt stand ranging from pumpkin flavor to fig priced at $7 for an 8 ounce. Great snack for your baby and he offers a nice tasting experience. I do not recommend the bakery stand with croissants and other pastries which were very dry, see photo. We also tried the jalapeño bread, what a let down. We enjoyed the petting zoo area with our little one. Nice variety of animals from bunnies to baby goats. This was $5. Overall, this market is priced higher than others but it is Beverly Hills! It is also significantly small. Parking is garage, shared with the library and convenient, one of my favorite things here!

Dozens of stalls of which a small percentage offer organic produce. Managed to find a few things - avocados, strawberries, scallions, cauliflower. Also bought a couple of passion fruit that weren't organic. Very close parking with a disabled placard. They have carts available that you can use while you are shopping.

Very well organized and not overbearing with vendors selling the same wares. We have been here several times and like how parking is easy due to Library parking (2 hrs free). For those families going there, they have a petting cage and small horses kids can ride. They of course have healthy food options and a great burger stand called Los Angeles Burger Company.

The Beverly Hills Farmers Market was a nice stop on a Sunday morning. It's not as big as the Brentwood Farmers Market so I was a bit underwhelmed but it's great if you live nearby. They did have a petting zoo and mini ponies there and also live music which was nice. We had food from the taco/burrito, crepe, and bagel stands but those were pretty much the only prepared food options (+ bbq stand). Overall it was nice, but I would probably stick to Brentwood if you want more options, especially for prepared foods.

I entered the Beverly Hills Pickle Fest contest. I am somewhat nervous and excited (but confident) as I have been making pickles for many years and everybody loves them. The contest is Sunday, August 7, 2016. Update: my pickles didn't win. But my pickled baby zucchini came in third in the "I Can Pickle That" portion of the contest.

The Beverly Hills Farmers Market is tiny compared to other choices in Santa Monica, Hollywood, or even Loz Feliz and Studio City, but it's big on awesome. "Awesome" being a noun in this case, because the BHFM is a person, place, thing, AND idea, a member of the community transforming sleepy Civic Center Drive into a bustling Voltron of activity every Sunday from nine to one, and if you go the distance, you'll definitely have fun. Parking is plentiful, both with meters on the street and also in the library car tower (the meters are free on Sunday, and the library structure is always complimentary), so if you're visiting from another city and driving in, you'll have no trouble. BHFM is better for locals or for people who want to get drunk fast because it's just not extensive enough in offerings to justify a long drive if you're coming from far away -- as in, you'll find few if any stalls offering crappy crafts and CDs, very bad Van Gogh reproductions, pony rides, or bootleg DVDs. -- it's not a swap meet (like some farmers markets have become)! I guess it's not a bar, either, so yeah... if you want to get drunk fast, hit the local dive, baby. What BHFM does offer are a few specific things for people who know what they want. There are only a few stalls, but what stalls exist will blow your mind, hottie. - fresh flowers (at least three stalls) - produce! (at least six different stalls -- haggle, honey!) - nuts by the pound (shut up!) - private label Mediterranean olive oils and spices (kiiinnky) - taco/burrito stand (suck it down, lovely) - one of those BBQ chicken grill stalls (smoke in your eyes, ftw, sh'yeauh!) - kettle corn (of course) - fresh flowers (my reason for coming here every Sunday) This farmers market is four hours of pure *WIN*. I love it. I love it so much I want to marry it. I'd probably cheat on BHFM once in a while by humping the one in Santa Monica or Loz Feliz, but then again, I'm a whore, so... Yeah. Cash only (leave it on the nightstand)

I came at about 11am and parking was easy. There are meters around and the library parking structure is available as well. The farmers market is very small and has a limited selection. It was very quiet when I went and slow compared to other markets I've been. This market is probably best for those looking for fresh groceries or people with children because there is a great little pen with farm animals. Some food stands only had frozen food left (purchase to take home) and other stand with flowers and such just didn't look as fresh for a farmers market. Good place to drop by only if it is convenient.

Beverly Hills Farmer's Market is by the courthouse. It's on Sundays from 10 to 1. No dogs allowed except for service dogs. There's free meter parking on Sundays. Bf and I stopped by here. There's a petting zoo for $5 and pony rides. There weren't a lot of ready to eat food options, but I did nevertheless enjoy browsing through here.

We came here this past weekend on a whim, as we were hanging out at the Beverly Gardens Park across the street. The market was shaped like a "L" - but selection seemed limited. Predominantly fresh fruits, food stands, and other flowers, trinkets, jams, sauces, etc. for sale. We were actually stopped by a security guard, cos we had our puppy with us. Apparently, no dogs are allowed at this market, and we had no idea! haha...oops. We had to walk our dog along the sidewalk instead... Because we showed up at 12:45 pm, the market closes at 1:00 pm, so vendors were already packing up. We saw a tiny "petting zoo" that had ducks, piggies, and rabbits for kids to come in and touch. There were also horses to ride, but they were led by the vendor around some orange cones on the street. We didn't participate in either, but how interesting that a farmers market would have a petting zoo, huh?

A very small farmers market but they do offer a petting zoo and pony rides (i think every other weekend). The guys that run the animal area are not friendly nor do they want to be there, pretty sure they'd rather be at a Sunday Funday situation, but we don't go there to be impressed by them. My kiddo loves the animals and couldn't care one iota less about the dude pulling the pony around. The food is yummy I just wish there was more. It's a really great spot though. Sometimes there is live music. It's a great place to run into a neighbor and then stop by the library after. The location is fantastic and there is free parking in the structure... better yet why not walk there!?

Love this farmers market, especially because now Casitas Valley Pastures is there with their BEYOND ORGANIC meat. I am mostly plant-based but when I do eat meat it has to be the best and this is it. It is next level - I used to travel to Santa Barbara for it and now I don't have to. Thank you Beverly Hills Farmers Market!

I have been to so many farmers markets since I moved to Southern California in 2004. However, my local farmers market in Beverly Hills is clearly the best. Why? Cuz; 1. Easy parking - access. Today I parked 100' from the first stall. It was easy and the spaces were huge. No fear of someone dinging my new car. 2. Quality vendors. This is not the largest market in Southern California. However, they only have premium quality vendors. This morning the most charming Greek man sold me some fantastic olive oil and soap. He was just a pleasure to talk to and do business with. I now look forward to seeing him on future Sundays. 3. Quiet/spacious - low key and relaxing. This is a calm relaxing shopping experience. What I look forward to on Sundays. 4. Friendly. Every vendor and the folks whom shop here are friendly real people. Hey, I will admit this is not a cheap market. The vendors know that they are in Beverly Hills and are not here to give stuff away. However, if you want the best quality and a quiet pleasant shopping experience with exceptional vendors then this is the farmers market for you.

It's not nearly as big as the markets in Hollywood and Santa Monica, but this is a fairly decent farmer's market. You can probably find what you need here, depending on the day. There's the usual assortment of fruit, vegetables, cut flowers and fresh bread. There is also a good booth run by the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills selling pestos and interesting cheeses. You can also get crepes, tamales and an assortment of pita breads. I was a little underwhelmed by the size of the market-- it was smaller than I'd expected and didn't have as many vendors to choose from, but the goods all seemed to be high quality. We bought some lovely fruits & veggies and picked up what turned out to be ridiculously delicious scones at the Manhattan Bread stand. I think the highlights of this farmer's market are the pony rides and petting zoo for children. I believe those are only available once a month, but they're worth coming out for if you have kids. The only thing that was weird was that the two people running the petting zoo got into a loud argument with each other right in front of the kids. But the animals were cool and seemed to be well taken care of. There's parking in the city structure right next to the library. We also found free street parking easily.

The Beverly Hills farmers market is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me, getting bumped up to 4 because of the free parking. Being less than a mile away I really should have walked here, but when they are offering abundant free parking, it makes driving attractive. What can I say, I've been in LA too long. Okay so it was a LOT smaller than I expected it to be based on all the (permanent) signs they have posted around the city advertising it. Maybe I should have read the yelp! reviews before going to know what to expect, but I just expected... more. They advertise it as an "event".. one that you may even drive from far for, but it's definitely more for locals. This would be a great spot to come grab breakfast.. a lot of the stalls sell breakfast foods (I almost ate again but decided that maybe I'll just come back another time), and they also have lunch foods if you go toward the end of the market (tacos/burritos, BBQ chicken, Asian.. I think it was Chinese). Like all farmer's markets, they also have fresh flowers, produce, and fruit, although I found it to be a bit pricey. Some unique things about this market: nuts by the pound, hummus stand, olive oil stand, kettle corn (is that unique? not sure, but the smell was overwhelming - in a good way - and made it stand out). Having just moved to the area, I was hoping this would be larger and be something that I could do every Sunday, but I'll probably just go when I have guests in town or people over.

I arrived at 12:15 and thought it was strange some vendors were already packing up. Hey man, I just got here! Some items may be pricey but they do taste good. I got kimchee for $9 and pesto for $10. Free parking is good; also Beverly Hills Library is open at noon... whoohoo.

Fantastic variety of fresh, mostly organic produce! Love the amazing variety of organic strawberries great and small, huge delicious cherries and my favorite hand-crafted walnut cranberry bread! Their special events are sometimes a bit on the weak side, but there is often live music of some sort and great people watching. Friendly vendors, super helpful staff keep this all humming.

It sounds pretty simple. Learn from the farmers, the land and then eat by the season regardless of where you live. It pleases me to see support of local farmers by folks with powerful voices like chef, "Alice Waters [www.chezpanisse.com] of famed Berkeley, CA, restaurant Chez Panisse and authors Michael Pollan [www.michaelpollan.com In Defense of Food (Penguin Press 2008)] Bill McKibben [www.billmckibben.com Deep Economy (Henry Holt & Co., 2007)], and Barbara Kingsolver [www.kingsolver.com Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (Harper Collins, 2007)]."(1) What about the cost? Shopping and eating locally can be more expensive than filling the fridge at the local warehouse-style store unless you have guidance. The key to saving money at local farmer's markets, according to Michael Pollan, is to, "Shop strategically. Buy things at the height of the season." (2) For when to buy what and fabulous recipe ideas, I use The Santa Monica Farmers' Market Cookbook (Blenheim Press, 2007) by Amelia Saltsman www.ameliasaltsman.com. The goal of today's farmer's market trip was to walk there and spend no more than $25. I bought beets, petite yams, asparagus, kale and nearly three pounds of on-sale tomatoes so ripe I knew I had to immediately slow roast them with olive oil, garlic, and fresh oregano, Sea salt and pepper (2-1/2 hours at 250 degrees. Drizzle with Balsamic vinegar and cook another 10 minutes. A great side or toss with pasta. (3)). Still within budget, I also purchased dried Calimyrna figs for one of my favorite desserts. (Remove the stem, score each fig with an "X" and insert a walnut. Put the figs in a small covered casserole and place in a warm oven. Great to do while whatever cooked in the oven previously is served. As the oven cools down, the remaining heat turns the figs into warm, soft creations.) Mission accomplished with parking meter change in my pocket and market bags bulging, I rushed home to roast the beets, yams and asparagus too. With enough for dinner and leftovers for at least two days, I invited my neighbor to join me. (The kale and fresh garlic was sautéed in olive oil just before serving.) My neighbor's testimonial to the benefit of supporting local agriculture, "This food tastes different. It's so fresh and wonderful!"

Here for Harry's Berries but they've been MIA for 3 weeks/my last 2 visits now. Bought kimchi from one stand, pea sprouts from another, gorgeous head of green cauliflower from yet another. Organic and fresh produce. They have vendors who sell food (pasties, sandwiches, burritos, etc.). Lots of fruit vendors. There's an information booth halfway through the market in case you need some 411.

I stopped by here to check out the selection and was pleasantly impressed. I went "before they open" at 8am and it was in full swing. I HIGHLY recommend you go then because you can actually park. I felt the prices for some things, like bread and assorted carbs were WAYYY outrageously priced, while other things like organic berries and eggs were spot on. Dear Scone Maker table, really? You are going to charge $3 for a scone? I mean, really?! No. I had one just to see why they were priced so high was greatly let down. If you go, pass on the scone and opt in for a breakfast panini or quesadilla...they looked great. Make sure to scan all the tables before purchasing anything because a lot of people are selling the same things...therefore you can barter. Great location. Decent prices. Great people watching. Friendly vendors...certainly worth checking out.

I was driving around the Hills on a Sunday morning and forgot all about the fact there's a Farmers Market near City Hall each Sunday morning. Since I was in the area, I decided to see what it was all about. When I first entered I saw only a couple of booths and figured that everyone was at the big markets that morning in Santa Monica and Hollywood. And then I turned the corner..... What I saw was a huge line of tents with tons of booths of fresh produce, spreads, nuts, baked goods and more. Some of the booths were very familiar to me. A lot were new but it was all great! The beauty of this is it's a lot like the other 'big two' farmers markets but with a big difference. Parking! You can easily park in the City Hall lot for free and then stroll outside and listen to the live music or have the kids take a pony ride. Have you ever tried parking for the other two markets? It ain't easy. So consider the Beverly Hills Farmers Market to be kind of a hidden gem. You would probably think it would be lame, but it's not. Myself and my appetite will be back for me.

Although not as much variety as the Wednesday S.M Farmer's Mkt, the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market has anything I need. Harry's Berries , Pudwill Farms, Weiser Farms , Kenter Canyon Farms and perhaps, best of all, a great fishmonger (I think it is called Dry Dock). Absolutely the freshest fish around and the best smoked salmon. Easy easy free parking at this market. Nice selection of prepared foods, including Rockenwagner bread.

Great farmers market to go with kids. A band is playing, they have ponies and a little gated area with some animals. Fun for kids. Not many vendors, but I always get what I need. They sell amazing bread there.
