Sundays in Brentwood basically revolve around this market. Just off San Vicente, the Brentwood Farmers Market pulls a big local crowd—and the occasional A-lister doing their weekly shop—thanks to its mix of fresh produce, great prepared food and that classic Westside ease.

Expect a long run of seasonal fruit and veg from some of California’s best growers, plus beautiful bunches of flowers right at the entrance. You’ll also find stalls specialising in Asian greens, microgreens (a Brentwood favourite), dried fruit, and other pantry staples. Samples are generous, so definitely come hungry.

Studio City Farmers Market

If you’re after a Sunday market with actual community soul (not just good photo ops) the Studio City Farmers Market is one to put on your LA list. Run as a non-profit, this long-standing neighbourhood favourite operates every Sunday from 8am to 1pm, championing local growers and small-batch makers. 

What makes it special is the impact behind every purchase. By shopping here, you’re directly supporting California farmers and indie artisans and helping fund local schools and community groups. Collectively, the market has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars back into Studio City since opening.

• Leave the pup at home for this one—dogs aren't allowed, unless they are a registered service animal.

The mecca of Los Angeles farmers' markets, it doesn't get more bustling than this downtown open-air extravaganza, where LA locals and trendy tourists converge for a great feed every Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

Load up on a global spectacular of the city's culinary best, then head to the bar for a brew or two. If you're lucky, you may also nab a few luxe vintage pieces to take home, too.

• Frequented by A-listers like Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, keep your eyes peeled for a few celeb spottings while you're there.

Open on Sundays from 8am–1pm, Hollywood Farmers Market is located along a quiet residential strip between Sunset Blvd and Hollywood Blvd, near the legendary Walk of Fame.

Its mission is to support the community through sustainable agriculture and affordable, healthy food, and it regularly holds educational programs in nutrition, urban agriculture and food industry entrepreneurship.

• If that’s not your speed on a lazy Sunday morning, just come for the luscious avocados—trust us, they're worth it

Beverly Hills Farmers Market 

9300 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills

Given the geography, it makes sense that Beverly Hills Farmers Market leans towards the bougie side of farm-to-table living. Just steps away from Rodeo Drive, the market boasts pristine produce that’s fit for a Martha Stewart photoshoot, and an on-site petting zoo full of clean, cuddly farm animals.

It runs on Sundays from 9am–1pm and is open rain, hail, or shine, but let me tell you: people lose their minds when it rains in Los Angeles.

• On those rare occasions when the weather’s looking grim, it’s probably best to pick an indoor activity.

Malibu Farmers Market

23555 Civic Center Way, Malibu

Families, surfers and coast-dwellers all converge on Malibu’s fresh produce market each weekend for their weekly veggie shop. There's also plenty of vintage and handmade goods, decadent pastries, locally grown and organic fruit and veg, and samples galore. 

The market is only open on Sundays, and runs between 9am and 2pm—plenty of time to get the full experience, plus a sleep in.

• The real drawcard, however, is their rescue dogs—adopt, don't shop, and give one of these gorgeous pups a forever home.

The Best Farmers' Markets Open During The Week
Topanga Farmers Market

Framed by the Santa Monica Mountains, the Topanga Farmers Market is one of the most charming weekly markets in LA. Relaunched by long-time canyon locals Kate Kimmel and Freddi Swanson (with former market manager Sarah Seelinger back at the helm), it’s built on the values that make Topanga, well, Topanga: sustainability, connection, and showing up for your neighbours.

Every Friday morning, the elementary school campus turns into a lively mix of farm stalls, organic produce, artisanal food, local makers, and those classic Topanga touches (yes, there’s a free clothing exchange rack).

• This one has a real local hangout vibe: families hang around the playground post-shop, people settle in at the communal tables with breakfast from the prepared-food stalls, and there’s usually a pop-up or two to keep things interesting.

Santa Monica Farmers' Market

Arizona Avenue and 2nd Street, Santa Monica

There’s a reason why people flock to the Santa Monica Farmers' Markets every week. Spanning several blocks, the markets are lined with produce tents that overflow with plump fruits and vibrant vegetables, all glistening under the Santa Monica sun.

The city presents four weekly markets, all running year-round, rain or shine. Each one has its own personality, so it’s worth market-hopping to find your favourite. The big draws are the Wednesday and Saturday markets on Arizona Ave, famous for their chef traffic. If you spot someone in a baseball cap quietly inspecting stone fruit like it’s a science experiment, there’s a good chance they’re sourcing for one of LA’s top kitchens.

The Wednesday market hosts 60+ farm stands, while Saturday brings 40+, all showcasing top-tier California growers. Expect peak-season produce, standout flowers, and some of the best people-watching of any market in LA.

This small-scale neighbourhood market is open from 2pm–7pm every Tuesday. It's a popular choice for locals and cooking enthusiasts who come for the handmade smallgoods, Italian pastas, and small-batch pickles.

The quality of fruit and vegetables available here is unlike anything you’d have tried from the supermarket before.

• In Summer, the rich aroma of farm-fresh tomatoes wafts all the way down the street.

The Original Farmers Market

6333 West 3rd Street, Los Angeles

During the Great Depression, a bunch of entrepreneurial farmers thought it would be a smashing idea to load up their trucks with produce and sell it on the street corner of Fairfax and 3rd. Turns out they were onto a winner, because this is how one of LA's best farmers' markets was born—and they open daily. 

The Original Farmers Market, located near Beverly Grove and West Hollywood’s Fairfax district, has attracted many famous faces over the years–including Marilyn Monroe, U.S. presidents, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles and Gordon Ramsey, and it’s played multiple cameo appearances in Jimmy Kimmel Live.

• In addition to the shopping, the market has become a dining destination in its own right, with several eateries–including a very decent seafood bar and French bistro–living in between the produce stalls.
