From their humble beginnings as a few farmers displaying their produce on the taillights of their vehicles in 1934, to their current-day status-quo as the highest frequented produce market in the country, the Los Angeles Farmers Market has traveled a long, and glorious, way.
Today, the market boasts of over 100 shops, grocers and restaurants, offering you a mind-boggling assortment of high-quality merchandise and is also considered by many to be one of the best places to people-watch in LA, on account of the diverse stream of visitors that flow in every day. Here, you can stock up your larder with groceries from Farm-Fresh Produce, the Poultry Section, and even indulge your sweet tooth with creamy ice-cream from Bennett's Ice Cream or Gill's Old-Fashioned Ice Cream. Your little ones will undoubtedly delight in the sugary treats that Littlejohn's English Toffee House offers them, while seafood enthusiasts can take their pick from the exhaustive selection of lobster, shrimp, salmon, cod and snapper that Tusquellas Seafoods has to offer.
The Los Angeles Farmers Market also offers discerning shoppers a vivid array of bath and beauty products, while also great home decorating ideas with unconventional artwork from Jack Gallery, one-of-a-kind curios from Shine Gallery and even goes so far as to offer you chic apparel options at Francesca's Collection and Sporte Fashion.
If all that frantic shopping works up an appetite, take a break with a frothy cup of latte and a sweet nibble at Bob's Coffee and Donuts, or even linger awhile longer to savor the delicious Cajun gumbo and beignets that the Gumbo Pot has to offer. The Los Angeles Farmers Market even offers you an onsite ATM to make for a hassle-free shopping experience and even lets you run your mail errands at the Farmers Market Postal Center.
You can visit the Los Angeles Farmers Market from 9 am to 9 pm, Monday through Friday, 9 am to 8 pm on Saturday and 10 am to 7 pm on Sunday.
