Groceries
Stall 612 & 518
Farm Boy Produce
In the outer aisles, you’ll find some of the most magnificent fruit you’ve ever seen – apples and oranges and melons and seasonal fruits are all fresh and just plain gorgeous. In the interior aisles, you’ll find great vegetables – potatoes and onions and lettuce and garlic –which are so good that a sizable contingent of local vegetarians won’t shop anywhere else.
 
Specialty Foods
Stall 548
Bennett's Ice Cream
Bennett’s Ice Cream is one of the last of a vanishing tradition: Scott Bennett and his staff make their own ice cream from fresh ingredients mixed on the spot (you can watch the process through Bennett’s kitchen window). The result is so fine that Bennett's regularly wins awards (there are Blue Ribbons all over the shop). The flavors are also wonderfully inventive – try Scott’s cabernet sauvignon sorbet or his pumpkin ice cream. Click here to learn about Scott Bennett, owner of Bennett's Ice Cream.

The French Crepes

Authentic French cuisine lives here: light and luscious crepes (breakfast, lunch or dinner), magnificent waffles and panini sandwiches, all prepared to your order and all infused with that certain special touch which makes French food so delightful. (Critic Favorite)

Bar 326

The true "farmers market of bars," Bar 326 only serves the best in locally crafted beers and wines.

Cheers to that!

Los Angeles's Original Farmers Market

By David Hamlin and Brett Arena Since 1934, the Original Farmers Market at 3rd & Fairfax in Los Angeles has been at the center of the citys history, from the Great Depression to todays Great Recession. It has endured as one of LAs most treasured locations, drawing visitors not only from the city it helped mold but also millions of tourists from around the world. Authors David Hamlin and Brett Arena capture the Markets quirky beginnings, its enduring personality, popularity and eccentricities in a new book from Arcadia Publishings Image of America series. With the help of hundreds of rare archival photos made available from the Farmers Market owner, the A. F. Gilmore Company, the authors trace the evolution of the property through a rich history that reads more like fiction than real history. 128 pages, paperback.
