The Original Farmers Market

Market Los Angeles, California

The Farmers Market is an area of food stalls, street caterers, prepared food vendors, and producers markets in Los Angeles, California. First opened in July of 1934, it is also a historic Los Angeles landmark.

The Farmers Market has over 100 vendors, including convenience foods, grocery stores, and tourist shops, and is located just south of CBS Television City. Unlike most farmers markets, which only take place at intervals, the Los Angeles Farmers Market is a permanent installation and is open seven days a week. Vendors serve many types of food, both American cuisine from local farmers and local ethnic foods from Los Angeles' many immigrant communities, with many Latin American and Asian cuisines well represented. It is located on the corner of 3rd Street and Fairfax Avenue in the Fairfax neighborhood of Los Angeles. It is adjacent to The Grove outdoor mall; an electric tram runs between the two sites. The market is a destination for foodies in search of the market's ethnic cuisines, its specialty food markets, and its prepared stalls. A sign that reads 'Meet Me at Third and Fairfax' is displayed in the front of the farmers market.
