The Farmers Market at the Grove

October 25, 2010 By radmegan Leave a Comment

In 1934 it started with 18 farmers parking their trucks on an empty lot. Today the Farmers Market at 3rd and Fairfax in Los Angeles employs over 700 people and hosts more than 50 permanent vendors. 


Whether it’s freshly butchered meats, organic juice blends, glossy donuts, or fragrant candles, there is such a variety of vendors that all of your shopping needs are sure to be met and exceeded. 


Gliding through through the isles, even the strongest resolve will be challenged by the various eateries. Nutella and banana plates are dolled out en masse at the popular crêperie The French Crepe Company, the flavorful taco plates from Loteria delight patrons with their unique combinations of authentic flavors, and the spicy plates of Cajun favorites perfume the air by the The Gumbo Pot.


I love walking through the various booths and shops and looking over the stacks of fresh fruits, jars of preserves, and trays of fresh baked buns. The mind wanders to future meals, crafts and family fun when I see the best of the best from each vendor. Here are a few gems that caught my eye on my last trip…

Farmers Market at the Grove

The Farmers Market is an awesome stop for both the tourist and local to meet up over a pile of bananas, but get there early before the parking lot fills up with celeb-seeking shoppers at the adjacent Grove shopping mall.
