Farmers Market is a historic landmark that has been around
since 1934. The market is located on the corner of third
and Fairfax and is a fascinating place to spend the day.
Famers market has more than 100 shops and restaurants
to explore. There are so many different places to eat
with so many choices for food chances are you will stop
at at least a couple of the eatery's.
Farmers market stores offer a remarkable selection of
fresh fruits along with candy, baked goods, home made
ice cream, wines, meats and poultry. There is plenty of
shady seating and even thought this is an open air market.

with Bennett’s Ice Cream or a frozen yogurt from
Pinkberry.

Los Angeles Farmers Market |
What started
out as a place for local farmers to sell there products
has turned into one of the most visited attractions in Los
Angeles. Taking a trip to the market is well worth the time
by itself but right next door is a huge upscale shopping
mall.
The Grove has more restaurants, major stores, movie theatres
and some of the best people watching in all of LA. Between
the two attractions there is more than enough to keep you
busy all day long.
Parking at farmers market can be a problem at the weekend,
the lot is quite small, so you end up driving around until
someone leaves. More parking can be found at the Grove shopping
district which has a multi story parking building.
Make sure you get your parking validated from the place
you park at, Farmers Market or the Grove, first two hours
are free. |

From
Orange County Farmers Market is about a one hour if the
traffic is not too heavy. Arriving in the afternnon parking
can be a problem in the Farmers Market lot which is quite
small.
You will need at least two hours to see the market and about
another hour to walk around the Grove. There is a trolley
that connects Farmers Market and the Grove which is free,
however the day we visited it was not operating.
Los Angeles Farmers Market is a fun day trip for adults
or teens. Smaller children will probably not appreciate
the wonders of this place but they will enjoy riding the
trolley and the home made ice cream.
The Los Angeles Farmers Market is an interesting journey
form Orange County or the Los Angeles area and will only
use about a half tank of gas.
