Featured Merchants

 
Restaurants
Stall 618
Pampas Grill
No cafeteria anywhere can compete with this churrascaría – move down the line to select from an amazing assortment of side dishes (salads, corn, pastas, and much more) and finish at the main course station: slowly turning beef steak, sausages, chicken (the bacon wrapped chicken is unbelievably good). You pick exactly what you desire and the serving size you want. Among the newer Market choices, Pampas is also one of the most popular.

Groceries
Stall 216
Farmers Market Poultry
Jim Cascone of Huntington Meats has taken flight with the experts at Farmers Market Poultry. The chicken here is more flavorful than any found on freezer shelves in chain stores, the turkey comes from several exceptional purveyors (try the ground turkey as an outstanding substitute for ground beef), and fresh eggs and exotic fowl are also readily available.
 
Restaurants
Stall A12
Chipotle
Chipotle Mexican Grill, the gourmet restaurant where you eat wih your hands, dishes up gourmet burritos, tacos, and bols (yes bol - it's a burrito without the tortilla!). Choose from a variety of fresh, whole ingredients, such as Niman Ranch free-range pork and guacamole mashed from ripe California avocados, to build the burrito of your dreams. All for around six bucks. (Critic Favorite)

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.
