    Food stalls with an array of different cuisines as well as fresh fruit, baked goods, and even a store dedicated solely to tabasco! Loved the vintage take on some of the stores.

    Opened in 1934 and with much of its original flavor — the freshest produce, gourmet meats and cheeses, and hot donuts — plus a few extra touches (gluten-free pizza, gumbo, authentic Mexican food).

    I come here a lot. Really nice farmers market. Food, trinkets and almost everything else. Right next to The Grove so you could spend a whole day. Well worth the visit.

    This farmers market reminds me of the tapas markets in Madrid. Get there early to grab a seat and eat savory crepes while you watch the hustle and bustle as everything opens.

    At the farmers market, fresh pasta stands out as a delightful treat. Made with locally sourced ingredients and crafted with care, each bite is a celebration of flavor and freshness.

    Not your traditional farmers market where you'll expect fruit and vegetable stands, there is some but the majority are restaurants that range from Cajun to Mediterranean to regular good ol' barbecue

    A wonderful place filled with the cuisines of the world. This place is a foody mecca. More of a bazaar than a market. Be warned the grove parking is a completely different entity.

    Try one of everything! Yes, that’s a LOT... so you’ll have to come back multiple times. Everything I ate here was delicious. This is a “must do” for every LA visit for me.

    Been going here since I was a kid. It's a favorite. If you're from out of town or you've never been, you've got to go there. Lots of movies being filmed there too.

    Visit at sunset, grab a table, get a beer, and grab some food. Life will be good.Pro-tip: park in the lot on the left as you're driving in. Just don't forget to get your parking validated.

    I prefer picking an exotic piece of fruit myself, however dangerous the circumstances, but the quality and selection of tastes here might be worth risking your life for as well, should it be crowded.

    If you see an open spot in the Farmers Market parking lot, grab it! Make sure you get a 2-hour validation pass from any of the merchants inside (but not from stores in The Grove).

    via LA Mag: The market remains overwhelmingly quirky, from the funky souvenir stands to the Shine Gallery's vintage toys. Hosts some of the city's finest butchers & fishmongers.
