Mar Vista Farmers' Market, Los Angeles CA

This has become an excellent market, with both fresh produce and vegetables and lots of prepared food. Many of the stands are limited to organic food, and some of the prepared food is vegan. Sometimes, there's live music; if not, there's a DJ. UPDATE: after a struggle with Covid surges the market is inching toward normal. Prices are up but they're up everywhere. Go to Gloria's!

Great variety of both organic and non-organic fruits and vegetables. A couple of particularly good Organic Farms, plus some Santa Barbara County local fish. During Valencia season, a superb farm from northern San Diego County with the best Valencia oranges. When melons are in season, you can find the most delicious varieties of cantaloupes from several different Farms. The organic avocado Growers are back and their avocados are the best of anyone's. They've done away with all their restrictions in terms of capacity, and it's extremely crowded. Don't let that deter you. All in all, an excellent market and I go there every week.

I go every Sunday at 9 am when it opens (for optimal parking options). Lots of fresh, organic produce & fruit, plus lots of other goodies (pies, empanadas, coffee, handmade soap, wine, plants, etc.). El Machete is one of my favs. Great avocado salsa.

Fantastic farmers market! Great selection of vendors and farms. I like that I can go shopping for fresh produce and get breakfast/lunch in the same place. My friend and I both got vegetable dumplings and matcha boba teas from Kai Kai. We were able find a spot to sit at one of the many tables near the food vendors/trucks. In addition to wonderful produce the market has a great selection of breads & baked goods, and miscellaneous items such as tea, plant-based cheeses, juices, and many more. The later you go the smaller the selection may be at certain spots but vendors may also offer deals - bit of a gamble but I walked away with some good produce deals. Check it out!

Bought organic tomatoes (3$ each) and they are delicious. Also wanted to buy a kind of big cherries, but the line was too long… Be prepare for having many people there.

A favorite farmers market. I always end up buying more than I intend. Not everyone is local unfortunately, but it's a large selection of mostly similar booths. Some vegan and vegitarian food booths, a nice food court. We usually get breakfast at one of the booths (usually Lorrents breakfast croissant), but sometimes we hit up the french restraunt that's also right there on the block if we want better seating and some peace.

Lots of great produce I used to get my mom some produce on Saturday and Sunday and visit her at the Grandview West convalescent home

Fresh fresh fresh. Who wouldn't want to speak to the human making and growing what you eat! The friend with the arugula was my favorite! Thank you for listening to my rantings of burata and arugula. Lol. Cannot wait to go back.
I am back from out of state. Checking out the fresh stuff. Great again! Completely pickled is the place today, the lady there is awesome!

The Mar Vista Farmers' Market is a great time. The streets are closed off, but you will find parking and not have to walk more than a block to get to it. It is large, but not so huge that you will not have the time or energy to go to 100s of booths. They just have the best of the best.

It is a locals' Farmers' Market but tourists are greeted with smiles. We are a friendly bunch.

It gets crowded but not so bad that you can't get to a booth you want and get waited on pretty fast.

They have everything, from fresh fruits and vegetables to meats and treats. They sometimes have wine and they always have flowers. We love their ice cream booth from New Zealand, and this is not an easy ice cream to find. They also have clothes and assorted things for your home.

The prices are reasonable and there are plenty of places to sit and take a break or eat what you just bought.

It is assessable to all and if you are wheel chair bound, you will get through just fine, because we simply are not a rude crowd. Kids run and have fun and there is always something for kids to enjoy.

We love this place. So go there.

One of the best farmer's markets I've seen. It's on the pricier side. Conveniently located. Limited parking at the adjacent post office.

I really like to idea of buying local from local growers, and getting high quality produce and food, from farmers markets.thing is most of the time i'm intimated somehow ('cuz i grew up in LA going to only supermarkets) and i end up buying nothing.taking a stroll thru this one tho, i'm overwhelmed but in a good way.this is one of the kings of farmer's markets.there's a lot of great produce, good food vendors, more good stuff in the ferry plaza building, beautiful scenery, and great people watching

This is one of my favorite places to get my weekly groceries from! Plus they've got a vibrant hot food selection that has reappeared now that lockdowns are done! Venezuelan arepas, musubi, paella, yum yum yum! Plus with Weiser Farms, Tamai, Buy Ranch Direct and more, there's so much great produce available! There's no reason why you should be shopping at a super market if you live anywhere near this farmer's market! STOP paying for unripe produce to get shipped 1,000's of miles by brutal wholesalers ripping off farmers in other countries when you can direct your money towards the actual growers and get stuff that's tastier and better for you!

There's something for everyone at this large farmer's market. Fresh meats, fruits, baked products, and more are available for take-home.

Great farmers market with lots of food stands, live music, produce and plants. Probably about 5 blocks of vendors. Lots of vegan options, interesting fruits/vegetables. Coconut milk/water refill station too!

Parking was a challenge. Lots of good looking veggies but pricey. There was a live music band and plenty of places to grab a bite.

We love going out every weekend and exploring the farmer's market. It's different every weekend, and there's always activities and good food. Gama farms has amazing figs btw.

Wow! The ramen kit was fantastic. The strawberries were divine. All the baked goods were amazing. Pholousouphy lao sausage sticky rice w papaya salad was to die for.

Really nice farmer's market. If you really want fruit and veggies that are ripe and delicious and lots of other tasty treats, make it a point to visit.
