The best farmers markets in Los Angeles in 2026 are the Santa Monica Wednesday Downtown Farmers Market, where LA's chefs shop, the Sunday Hollywood Farmers Market, the Mar Vista and Larchmont Sunday markets and the Pasadena Certified Farmers Market on Saturdays. The Original Farmers Market on Fairfax is a daily food market rather than a growers' market.
Southern California grows produce all year, so LA's markets run every week, rain or shine. Most open early morning and wind down by early afternoon; go before 10 a.m. for the best choice. Days and hours can change, so check each market's site before you go.
