Culver City Farmers Market

Small Tuesday market in Culver City 🌆 They put out a good mix on a single block. Everything you’d expect to see with the likes of Bub and Grandma breads, Gwen’s goods, Seafood, Pies, and a slew of food vendors. Nice way to show the city a unique and old school experience.

The Culver City farmer’s market is held on Tuesdays 2-7. It is a small market, about a block long, but it has a nice mix between cooked foods and fresh fruits and vegetables. I bought some hand pies from Hemera’s bench, the berry lavender and the miso mushroom ponzu. Both of them were delicious. The berry pie had some bite to it. I really liked the crust for both. I also bought some vegan cobblers from Cobblermania, the strawberry rhubarb and the mango blueberry peach. Both cobblers were really delicious and I liked that they were sweetened with agave. Lastl, I got some chicken and tofu karaage from Yataineighborhood. He makes the food to orde. The batter on both was light and delicious, one of the best I’ve ever eaten.

A small but inviting farmer's market with several fruit and veggie vendors. The fruit vendors here give samples which helps drastically when trying to pick which ones to buy. Very sweet peaches and plums! There's also a vendor with pasta, ramen, mushrooms, karaage aka Japanese fried chicken, pastries, pickles, coconut water, and more

Fresh produce and vegetables. The vendors are friendly and knowledgeable of there products. Although it the sign says no dogs. Be prepared to see dogs in the area. Parking is available at the street meters or you can park in the parking lots in the area. Price does very for each of the parking lots. The farmers market is open from 2pm to 7pm each Tuesday. There several different Selection of foods. Such as vegan, creole, sea food and iItalian. Please let’s not forget about the tasty sweets. Enjoy freshly cooked peach cobbler! Mmmm. Be careful of Undesirable’s that are lurking aground this area🧐

Friendly, though small, farmers market! It’s very close to so much in Culver City, so makes for a great addition to other Tuesday evening activities.

We are regulars now at Stepladder Creamery and The Fish/Seafood Vendors. Had to convince a neighbor that waiting in line to wash hands was worth it. The best and the brightest that takes up Main Street, Culver City and Main street USA in friendliest. All food sold is grown by the vendor, and other than flowers (including edible ones), it is all food. The packaged, to -go meal food is not as high calibre as the produce. The Underwood Farms alone are worth a trip, and I do weekly. The knife sharpener and the Seafood vendors are old school pros. And you have to wash your hands when you enter from a sink and soap they supply. Rain or shine hours 2-7 on Tuesdays.

Social distance protocols are in place and the market is bustling with people and good vibes. I love supporting the local farmers and merchants each week. Them getting to know me and vice versa. If we ever needed to healthy before the time is NOW. Keeping a healthy immune system full of fresh foods and nutrients will have to fight off Caronavirus. #culvercityfarmersmarket

Pretty small, but there's a nice variety of produce (fruit, veg, seafood), finished products(nut butters, yogurts, bread), and hot food (dumplings, tacos). Worth a short visit if you're in the area on Tuesday 2-7pm.

I recommend most of the vendors after years of visiting this market. I suggest the market require each vendor to post a sign, informing customers whether the produce is certified organic, pesticide free, etc. I wish the market would exclude vendors who use pesticides. Prices have gone up, but quality is usually excellent.

Vendors wear gloves and they handle money AND FOOD, with the same gloves. That is a serious health violation. Also, some vendors are seriously overcharging, especially when they weigh produce. $3.25 for two small persimmons, it's called price gouging. The price listed was under $3 a lb. My persimmons weigh 10 ounces. For what she charged me, that makes them over $5 a lb. We should all question what they are charging. Lesson learned.

Located off of Main Street in Culver City. It is a small farmers market but has a lot of fresh produce.

Not much produce to choose from and it's too pricey. Selling food prepared hours ago and not appetizing anymore. They used to have store that sells yummy tamales, but they are no longer there.

The ambiance is super friendly!

I always stop in at Arnett Farms to get some peach, plum , nectarine varieties. Got three different types, one of which I always get (so I didn't bother to taste a sample)X They turned out to be duds, so much that I took them Back to ask the owner if she would kindly allow me to exchange them for some other type at her recommendation. Well, long story short , she was very unpleasant and never even looked at me while conversing and rushed to give me cash back which wasn't what I wanted. So I proceeded to gather more of the ones I did keep and returned back to close and ask if she was ok because she looked noticeably disturbed . She continues to be very low vibrational and never warmed up to my kindness and never looked up or smiled . So I left startled as she kept a frown of some sort on her face over 7 Cherriblums returned . I felt like my ethnicity was part of the dark cloud hovering over her. There was something more behind her demeanor. You know that feeling you get when someone talks down at you and not with you and doesn't respect you as a person? Yeah, that vibe. I remain totally surprised at how she handled that situation. God bless her.

There are less booths post COVID, but it's nice because it is not crazy busy or crowded which was not as fun to navigate before. Got a $5 choco croissant today which was good. They have a knife sharpener, seafood guy, honey person, soup person, Jamaican person who had dirty rice and also jambalaya which I need to try sometime. They also had a green juice person, a cheese person, dips, Korean food booth, Japanese bento place, and the usual veggies/produce/fruit stands. Need to come more often. A lot of the places only take cash. Also get empanadas from Grand Casino Bakery!

not too many options and things are a bit expensive, but easy to park and get to. nice to walk around and maybe enjoy the nearby shops as well.

Would be fantastic, if not for the price gouging. Yesterday, I paid $9 for TWO NECTARINES. I mean, I know inflation is bad, but this is ridiculous. The whole point of going to a farmer's market is to be able to buy fresh produce direct from the farmer. This should (hypothetically) reduce costs, because there is no need to transport or store anything for long periods of time. There are some bargains to be had, of course (the $5 bags of oranges are a personal favorite!), but some of the farmers really take advantage, assuming that everyone in Culver City is some kind of oat-milk-drinking, Patagonia-wearing, money-to-burn hipster. Like, some of us just want to get some fresh fruits and veggies that haven't been sitting in a truck for weeks or injected with chemicals to keep them fresh. The real advantage of this market is the variety--you can find all kinds of interesting and fun stuff that you can't buy in a traditional grocery store. And some things are worth the price; case in point, Delvigne Croissant is an absolute GEM. Sure, you're paying $10 for a baguette, but it's a real French baguette with the perfect crust and chewy inside texture (I'm drooling just thinking about them), not something made by a machine in a factory. When it comes to authentic croissants and pastries, I am willing to pay, because it's something that takes a lot of labor to make, and it's difficult to find that anywhere else. Another standout is the pasture-raised meat stand, because raising animals humanely is going to be expensive, and it's worth it to pay more for a higher quality meat from time to time. But there should also be more of an effort to price things fairly. Otherwise, the farmer's market will only worsen food deserts and continue to make fresh produce a middle class-or-above privilege. If you go, pay close attention to those price labels, and don't be afraid to ask the price before buying. I've also heard it can be good to go at the end of the day, to see if anyone is getting rid of unsold produce at a lower cost. Bargain shoppers for the win!

I'd have to agree with another yelper who said this is a small market!! The vendors are a nice variety however, I go to farmers markets a few times a week, all different sizes and varieties so to me, some of the fruit vendors were a bit overpriced. They have the hot vendors towards the back, but everything else is pretty mixed. The highlight for me was the ridiculous bakery!! Yes it's organic and they have gluten free options but THOSE CRONUTS!! Yum... Arnett farms is ALWAYS in attendance wherever I go which brings fresh nut butters and tons of seasonal fruit! I like this farmers market over all but I'll continue my quest to try others!!

Right in the heart of Culver City Farmers Market is awesome I like how they close the whole street off and you have a nice selection to choose from vendors are super nice and the hours are really good I'll be there this week

Smallish - but great selection and friendly folks. It's so local and chill - and the downtown vibes seep into this market, for sure. We grabbed herbs, some protein and because a vendor gave my kids a free apple, we then bought about 7 more. Great experience- small town feel in the big city.

Their COVID19 cross-contamination/social distancing protocols are next level with entrance controls and hand washing/sanitizing stations. I feel like standards are being upheld in good public health conscience which the public positively responds to by wearing masks properly as expected. (By contrast, to see an example of lax oversight visit the lazy sop market monitors at Marina del Rey on a Saturday morning at Mother's Beach. YEEEESH) This market is on the smaller side. With prepared tubs of ready-to-eat spreads/dips/condiments you have great choice of Korean and Middle-eastern vendors. You also have two good bakeries: Ridiculous Baking Company and Delvigne Croissants. I tend to seek out solid farm families stands, and there are a couple here good for fresh greens/a rolling crop of tomatoes (with tubs of cheaper ugly ones, including heirloom stocks). I tend to buy veggies here such as bok choy, squashes, some greens, and especially the Mexican tomato and pepper seller. I've upped my salsa game thanks to his good looking tomatoes. (I usually get better herbs at the Mar Vista Farmer's Market.) A fantastic purveyor of local honey catches my eye all the time, Dom Pilis. He offers true indigenous vegetation honey including from mountain buckwheat. You can't go wrong with this small but feisty enough market, especially located amidst the walkable al fresco dining options along the three blocks here. Culver City has remade itself for COVID19 conditions well! Across the street are the Culver Steps and picnic tables which are great to sit down and spend some outdoor time. You feel less harangued by the desperate street poverty and wretched lives on full public view that you see in other parts of the city. You can feel slightly insulated in this coddled middle-class haven.

More dogs than ever! Market manager sitting and laughing with a coworker. The lack of health department standards keeps me away from anything not in a jar or bottle. No samples or strawberries for me, thanks. One lady was leaning over some orange samples with a hairy little dog in baby carry sling. Yuck. Then again, this means I can take my dog to the market next time (even though I probably won't buy anything), so that's good!

It's a pretty good farmers market, both in size and content. The street is closed off for the market which takes the length of a city block. There are stalls with produce, prepared foods, soaps, nuts, honey, flowers, dips, baked goods, and even a few that sell things like straw hats. I like the guy at the at end of the block who sells plants. My garden still has plants I've purchased from him. For the size of the market, there aren't too many overlapping stands. Not an abundance of competition and choice, but it's enough of a take-home that they keep coming back to set up their stand. There is metered parking on the adjacent street. I always drop by when I'm in the area on Tuesdays.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! We may not be in Oz but Culver City is the next best thing. At the CC Farmers Market one can find empanadas, kettle corn, fresh fruit, veggies and flowers. This place has it all! It's on Main Street in the Heart of the City. One of my favorite stands is the empanada stand. The man that works there is very nice! You can find this stand directly in front of the Grand Casino. I also really enjoy the kettle corn stand. I'm a sucker for kettle corn. Today, I plan on picking up some fresh flowers for my home.

What a great and unexpected find! I literally stumbled across this small but well represented farmers market between Venice Blvd and Washington. Food stands provide the end caps, and in between are jam packed vendors hawking everything between organic produce to Africa woven textiles. My personal favorites included the juice bar, oyster shucker, pastries (at least two sellers), the pita and hummus folks, and the clown making balloon animals and implements for kids. Honorable mention to the seafood fry vendor for delightful aromas! I sampled the wares, but it's nasty when people reach in despite there being toothpicks available. Yuck! Otherwise I tasted outstanding peaches and nectarines, the best by far this year. While to far from home to be a habit, if I happen to be in Culver City again on a Tuesday I'd definitely make a point of buying some goods here. I'm so glad there's a resurgence of farmer's markets in California communities.

I just returned from the Culver City farmer's market which I found to be a thoroughly frustrating experience. At the entrance I asked a woman, who turned out to be the manager, Cynthia, for the list of market participants and market map mentioned in their published flyer, apparently she isn't familiar with the document. I tried showing it to her, but didn't want to get too close because she kept lifting her mask, exposing her mouth to talk to me. I had to ask her to please put her mask on. Cynthia insisted that I would find the information I wanted on the official website, so I tried that. That list is ALL vendors who participate in the farmers' market, not the ones that are there today. This defeats the purpose of "planning my shopping efficiently & quickly" and not to linger. She advised me to just go inside to look around. It was obviously pointless to continue the conversation so I went inside. I honestly expected it to be a safe and sanitary place to purchase produce as their flyer is very explicit about the rules during the COVID-19 pandemic. The flyer states that one should only "touch only what you buy or ask for help". This sounds good in theory, but was not happening in reality. I watched shoppers touching and squeezing loose produce and then moving on without purchasing. Today is the last time I will go to this particular market. It is not managed properly, doesn't appear sanitary, and does not comply with its own published rules.

We stopped in while in the area. It was our first time. I loved the stalls and vendors and the fruit we bought could not be surpassed! Interestingly, there was a wash station and other methods of cleaning our hands. We also poodled around the shops on either side of the street and enjoyed that also. We will be returning today.(ps, I live a ways away in the Valley and it is well worth the commute.)

TUESDAY'S GROCERY SHOPPING It's small but it's cute. AND bring cash so you won't be a**ed out. There are two main tents that have struck my attention and both are at the end close to Venice Blvd. love sharing my farmers market finds... It's like hunting down the randomest things. 1) One tent ran by an Asian couple sells the Asian vegetables. Fresh vegetables! They sell malunggay leaves here when in season may - nov). This product is hard to come by and you really have to search for it to get it. I also purchased fresh mint, lemon-basil (smelt so good), and Chinese long beans (not one brown spot on the beans). FYI, this tent is also off the La Cienga farmers market on Thursdays and the malunggay leaves are available until supplies last. 2) Tent across from the tent above that's ran by Arnett Farms. They have like 15+ different plums to choose from and all had different flavors. I wish to have chosen them all but selected only what my belly can handle. Flavor Queens, Ruby Cat Plutos, Bella Royals (apricot, peach, plum combo), forgot name of one of the fruits but has a sign 'Kids Love Them' (well, now adults too). I think those plums were my top picks. The rest of the tents... Typical same ish at any other farmers market kind of tents. Until the next review...

"Know your food, know your farmers, and know your kitchen." Joel Salatin* A Tuesday farmers market (3:00 PM - 7:00 PM) like this one is the perfect way to do all three. Park in one of the city lots (first two hours free), grab some locally sourced grub, stash it back in your ride and catch a happy hour at one of the many pubs on the boulevard. Several years since I visited, this market has totally improved with an interesting vendor mix to please cooks and non-cooks alike. Plenty of useful products, plants, crafts and prepared foods! * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Salatin

Both the vegan and non vegan cheese vendors here are delicious. Achadinha cheese company has such delicious mellow yellow cheese cubes. Perfect by itself or as a snack with cracker or a glass of wine. Blode kuh is the vegan stand that has great truffle fluff, Chardonnay cheddar, and scmhear it vegan cashew cheese. Picked up three to use with pasta that I'll be cooking. They go for 9 dollars for one, 2 for 17 or 3 for 24. Their vegan yogurts are also really good. One for 5.5 or 4 for 20. Pasta from fresco pasta stand to go with my new vegan cheese. Pricey of 9 dollars for one box of pasta or 10 for ravioli. I picked up three boxes so that I could get a free sauce. However, most likely won't come back for pasta as I can get pasta much cheaper at other markets. Figures might as well try. Market is only here on Tuesdays. If you're getting your car serviced, might as well stop by the market to walk around and try free fruit samples. :)

Such a great place to tool around. Main Street turns into a magical place on Tuesdays. Fresh produce everywhere. Unique vendors add a blend of character to this west side farmers market. Try the Carmel corn.. best in the city of LA. Come check it out.

The quality of produce to market size ratio can't be beat. In other words, lots of great products packed into one block, which makes it super easy to grab and go if you already know what you want. You'll probably spend more time looking for a parking spot and waiting in line to get in than the actual shopping. Pro tip #1: Don't wait in the senior citizen line. Pro tip #2: Wear disposable gloves so you can bypass the handwashing line. Highly recommend Arnett Farms citrus and Zozo juices ($1 off for every glass bottle of theirs that you bring back).

Best deals are for the late birds when they're trying to get rid of everything. Come at around 5:30-6:00 (they close at 7). Probably not my favorite farmers market but they have the essentials.

6/16/202 went there for the intention to see the plant guy. I love him but I can't remember the name of his business-also sells at the Torrance farmers market. I got five plants from him for $11- lemongrass, dill, basil and two tomatoes. The market itself had good control of social distancing and offered a handwashing station to use as you enter. There efforts to deal with crowds and C-19 is pretty good although some people were wearing just face shields instead of face masks.

I love the Culver City farmers market! So great to have the chance to support local businesses and farmers. My favorites are the stands for hummus and vegetarian Korean options!

It's a densely attended, 3-7 p.m. Tuesday event held on the world's smallest Main Street, and in some ways the Culver City Farmers Market captures the ambience of a cattle ranch. Approaching Main Street from Washington Boulevard, I passed an outdoor grill loaded with nearly irresistible chicken, almost done cooking, and proceeded to the front of the tent where lay a display of cooked, uncovered combination plates that could've been sitting outside for hours. This is Downtown Culver City. You can't tell me a hungry vagrant couldn't just breeze by and snag a free meal, despite the risk of ingesting some newly laid housefly eggs. Heck, if I didn't have a conscience or food-safety concerns, I mighta' did it myself. Then came a booth selling gluten-free something-or-other. With due respect to the gluten-intolerant, do you ever wonder how yummy some of those foods might be if they contained "double-stuf" gluten? Just put out some free samples; I'd try it. On to the fruit and vegetable stands. The most popular, near the Venice Boulevard end, carries premium-priced peaches, plums, pluots, pears, nectarines, apples, etc., etc., etc. In front of the tent is a tasting station where shoppers and some freeloaders linger, stabbing with toothpicks tidbit after tidbit of sliced fruit, perhaps eventually stepping aside to give others a chance. This is where you cross paths with the seedy side of organic-produce aficionados, those with elite tastes and possibly lofty budgets but sometimes deficient manners. If you don't become one of them fast, you'll go hun-graaay, and will need to buy on spec and rep, like at the supermarket. However, most of the merchants are legit. Why would they put out samples of raunchy fruit? What I tried was good. Bought some pluots.

Groceries, prepared food, desserts, music, good times. Not as large of a market as I typically enjoy, I come from San Francisco, land of the farmers markets, so in order for me to fully grocery shop I need more variety. But the Culver City Market does a great job with the little space they do have, one block's length spilling around a corner. Major highlight for me is the stand selling vegetarian Korean side dishes. So freaking good and I can't find the stuff anywhere else. Spiced cucumber salad, tempeh, pickled lotus root. Amazing. The stand selling vegan cobbler is pretty bomb too. If you're one to snag prepared food for your dinner they have maybe 4 or 5 stands selling hot meals but alas they're pretty much all meat based so I can't speak to them. Not the biggest there is, not the most organic options in the world, but definitely a decent spot to grab a few things. Very good vibe.

The 2 things I wish this farmer market did, open early so I can come here for lunch, and spread out and get a little bit bigger so there's more for me to look at! Having recently watched the documentary "What's On Your Plate," I finally kicked myself to start shopping at the farmer's market more. You support local farmers, and get the food at its freshest. Produce from a farmer's market is picked the day of or before, produce in grocery stores could've been shipped from across the country or world and take several days. I used to come here a lot more, chill, eat a tamale for dinner, buy some greens and then go home. But...I've been lazy. A little bit of everything can be found here, some stands selling jewelry, aprons, candles, suncatchers etc. Hot food stands bbqing away, selling tamales, peruvian food, empanadas, kettle corn and others. Theres a fresh fish truck, bread sellers, pastry places, a beef jerky stand and so many others. Oh yea and the produce stands. You can find flowers too and live plants with a cute doggie nearby also. I saw lotsa oranges, and even cacti! One stand was selling 10 lb bags of oranges for 10 dollars! Strawberries can also be found here, 6-8 dollars for 3 cartons. Didn't see the pluot stand this time, maybe not in season? A fungi stand! That's different! Get a huge bunch of cilantro for a 1, or grab some asian veggies! That's one stand that I hadn't seen before that i'm excited about! Bok choy, chinese broccoli, etc etc. Now I don't need to drive to Monterey Park, or pick through Mitsuwa's limited selection. If all that isn't enough for you...well...there's performers there too. People singing and playing. A great little farmer's market that's easily accessible with free 2 hr parking garages surrounding it. Little bit of everything here and there's enough produce stands to get a good selection. Perfect for getting off work, walking around a bit, and grabbing something for dinner. Oh and all the closing deals too.

These people do know the difference between a Farmers' Market and a doggie park...they just choose to ignore it. They seem to think it's OK to let people walk their dogs without checking if they're service animals as long as they make a big deal about you washing your hands before you walk into their area. They KNOW what you're supposed to ask "Is it a service dog?" and "What is it trained to do?" But, they refuse to ask and will not even listen if you inform them on your way to the hand washing station, very rudely, too. Maybe they are just too stupid to hold two thoughts in their little brains at he same time.

Great location in Culver city. I have been coming here for few years and I love it so much there is so many details different food option for all kinds of budgets. I really enjoyed walking around there, checking out the food vendors nd walking around the little shopping stores. If you want to try something different come to this place.

Yes, it's small, but I like to look at it as intimate. 3.5 stars This one is more focused on produce, as opposed to the Manhattan Beach Farmer's Market, which is mostly food vendors (not a bad thing though)! There are the essential fruits and veggies, and then there's a tamale stand, hummus man, juice people, and just a few other food vendors. There isn't much variety as I have seen elsewhere. This is more of a 'go here to get what you need' rather than a browsing type of CFM. Perk: free parking in the structure a block west of Main Street along Cardiff Avenue Note: Tuesdays 3-7pm

Small Farmers Market but I actually enjoyed it. This farmers market is open Tuesday's from 2PM-7PM during the summer. Parking is available for free for the first hour in the parking structure down Watseka ave and Culver Blvd. I arrived right at 2 PM so many little shops were still setting up and samples weren't available but the staff here was so nice and friendly. They had a variety of yummy goods such as corn on the cob, veggies, organic fruits including peaches(since its peach season currently), seeds, almonds, nuts, fresh juices, and my favorite: Flowers!!! Only downside was how tiny the market was but overall it was a pleasant experience! Make sure you bring cash!

This is for 2 vendors in particular, Pete's Knife Sharpening and Fruitlady Arnettfarms. Pete did excellent work making my old Shun Santoku knife super-sharp and Fruitlady gave us great big Persimmons, both at great value. Thank you vendors and thank you Farmer's Market!

Cute, teeny and little (I mean, it only takes up one block!) farmers market right on Main Street every Tuesday: They offer your usual farmers' market fare: organic fruits & nuts, snacks, hummus, and etc. including vendors selling accessories on the sidewalk. Easy free parking on Cardiff Ave (one block west) Tuesdays-only. If you don't get what you need here, hey, at least Trader's is just another half-block away~

Within a couple short blocks the CC farmer's market provides an awesome array of fruits, veggies, breads, desserts, seafood, and specialty food like oysters, bbq'd ribs/chicken, hummus, jams, jerky, olive oil/balsamic vinegar, and the typical jewelry and candles. They jam pack a ton of vendors on Main but talk about a good representation of homegrown edibles to choose from. Oh, must not fail to mention, their lettuce, herbs, and grains you can buy here as well are freshhhhh and will help you complete your dinner pronto. You won't have to wade through a ton of artsy goods or companies offering up services. Like many of the markets, sampling and BYOB(ags) are encouraged. Open late and 2 hour free parking in the garage at corner of Cardiff/Washington make the trip to this market worth being a regular appointment on your to-do list. Need some things that the CC market doesn't have? Trader Joe's is just across the street. So no fear.

This is the unfriendliest, most standoffish farmers market I've ever been to. Most of the vendors acted like I was a nuisance and the interactions were very transactional. It was both odd and off-putting. I'm used to farmers markets with a community vibe, where vendors and customers actually make conversation and vendors ask if folks need help. I was born and raised in Southern California, so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with the environment. I'm comparing this to farmers markets in Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, Playa Vista, Pomona, Claremont, and more. That being said, it's also larger than other ones and has more variety. I was happy there were some Asian produce options there, such as jujubes and lemongrass, to name a couple. Another positive (depending on your viewpoint) was that I saw more mask-wearing folks here than at any other farmers market during the pandemic. It made me feel safer feeling that I was in attendance with folks who care about others. Honestly, I'll go again for certain produce, but there's a lot left to desire. Oh, and parking is hard to find... First time I've had to pay to park in a lot just to attend a farmer's market. First hour is free for several of the lots, but places don't validate even though the parking garage mentions validation... Very odd. Pros: - lots of variety - more vendors who take card without charging extra Cons: - lots of complaints about the manager + lack of community (which I felt even as an outsider) (see other reviews on here) - a bit crowded - people cutting in line - standoffish/unfriendly vendors - hard to find parking - paid parking - lack of community spirit

Great working with Harvest Gathering Farm Meats. They are new to the Culver City Farmer's Market and they are a terrific addition. Recommended.

A bit small but quality vendors. I like to go once a month and splurge on some of the more unique products/vendors!

Since this is walking distance from my place, I come once in awhile for some fresh straight-from-farm(or someone's backyard)-to-me produce. It isn't that big but you can get the basics. I usually end up feeling like I got ripped off somehow unless I only stick to the bunches of kale for $1.50 at the first two stands and the avocado stand at the end (a bag of 7 avocados for $5!!). I usually skip all the stands in between but sometimes I will get the bags of $2 veggies if I'll use the assortment that they have. Or occasionally I'll see a bag of oranges that is reasonably priced. Usually I skip all the stands in between though. One time, I swung by before I had had dinner so decided to try the empanadas from Grand Casino Bakery & Cafe's stand in front of their store. Tried 2 kinds (a chicken and a beef) and each was more than $3. They were okay but not anything too special. On my way home, I leafed through their store menu and realized that they only cost $1.85 if you walk a couple of steps into their actual store to buy them! -_-

Samples samples samples! Be careful where you buy, it's expensive! I suggest doing a round first to kind of "feel it out" before making purchases. Cool lotion stuff, jewelry, BBQ, kettle corn, clothing, plants, herbs, spices, and all sorts of produce. The BEST things about this market: Free, easy parking. For those of us that have 9-5 jobs, they are open till 7! The fruit stand with all the samples right when you walk in The spinach bread with the sweet jalapeno sauce along Culver Blvd (same block as Native Foods) The bundt cakes Best tip- if you think you're too late, you're NOT. Come at 6 pm and you can find some GREAT deals. Right at the end of the sesh, come on by. Pre-packaged produce starts to pop up with deals such as $2 bag/3 for $5, I even saw $1 bags. The 6 o'clock hour is when they start to try selling everything produce. Keep your eyes out for these- cheaper than many supermarkets! If you miss any of your produce, there's a Trader Joe's right across the street.

The farmer's market itself is great. Plenty of vendors, lots of different offerings, and nice, central, walkable location. It's a lively event each week and you'll probably find what you want. One thing I wanted to note: there's a tamale stand with decent food but they aren't careful. They usually set up at the entrance close to Venice. Foods good, as I mentioned. However, I am a vegetarian and they gave me a tamale with meat. I was very specific about which tamale I was ordering (obviously), but they weren't specific about which one they gave me. Thankfully, I picked it apart before I ate it and spotted the meat.

From Alikis Greek taverna I been a vendor in the Culver City farmers market almost 10 years! Providing Greek food, dips olive oils, and many more, items. Until last week, that the new manager, came in, and decide, to kick us out of the market, just because!! She kick out the vendors, that been there for many years and bring her own people!! With out consideration that, she putting people out of a job, and financial hardship! Our last day there, my employee told me that she was very rude with him Never met the woman, in my life She did not ask to meet me, and ask me to do any changes, in order for us to continue in the market!! Maybe she did not like our set up, or tell us that we were doing something wrong!! She only send a letter, saying it was our last week. She is all muscles ! A farmers market manager, with a lots of power with the city's acknowledgement We did call the city... I'm trying to contact an attorney Not only for my business, but for 25 more vendors that she kicked out!! Aliki

After having ice cream with my new Israeli friend, Adit, I wanted to have dinner, lol. I have my priorities. She suggested the farmer's market, which I haven't been to in 10 years! I just remember the cozy feeling of cooked foods, friendly people, and lots of booths surrounding me. It was just as fun as I remember it last time. I didn't see the old fashioned hardware store that I saw a decade ago, but maybe they closed. I hope not... Love the range of fancy cheeses, hummus, pita chips, flowers, strawberries, watermelon lemonade, cooked foods, jewelry, etc... I miss that environment, as I used to sell my scented crystal potpourri at various markets. I will be back regularly!

EXPENSIVE. But delicious. $3/peach but pretty much the best peach I've ever had in my life. The roasted corn is good but not even close to the best ever. The popcorn is good. Everything is good just wayyy overpriced! Tip* If you take a later lunch (1-2:30) a lot of the vendors will be setting up or have set up already and will let you buy stuff before it officially opens at 3pm.

Pretty, convenient and easy to completely walk through, this is the only Farmer's Market I have visited where everything is located in one row. I like this Farmer's Market, it reminds me little of the one in Hillcrest (see my other review) since downtown Culver City is very picturesque. Like most other Farmer's Markets in SoCal, it has vendors that offer vegetables, fruit, kettle corn, honey, cooked food, and fresh cut flowers. It also had an artisinal chocolate vendor, which was a huge plus for me since I love gourmet chocolate. Since it was my first visit, I'm not sure if they are regular vendors or if they were just there since it was the day before Valentine's Day. The only thing this Farmer's Market didn't have much of a variety to select from were arts and crafts. Parking is available only through street metered parking or at a nearby pay parking lot. Its a perfect place to stop by and do some shopping if you plan on visiting one of the nearby restaurants like Honey's Kettle Chicken or Tender Greens.

So disappointed on the new management !! Taking out so many vendors! It's sad to see that market going down !

Like the song said, "Culver City has Farmers Market going UP....On a Tuesday" lol Located on Main/Bagley between Culver Blvd and Venice, it's one place you must walk through if you happen to be in the Culver area, here it comes again....., On a Tuesday!
