📍 Local LA gems, according to you
4/22 - 4/28: Stargazing, slow fashion, & sourdough specials
Get back to your roots with the best Farmers Markets in LA 🌱
Okay, time for a very controversial topic: ranking LA’s most iconic farmers markets! Now, we know that crowning a #1 market is serious business in a city where locals go harder for their produce than their favorite sports teams.
But we couldn’t help it after checking out Common Ground, a powerful doc that premieres today on Prime Video. If you care about where your food comes from (and the amazing people who grow it) you def need to see this! 🧑🌾
Dig into our list of the farmers markets that reign supreme in LA:
Brentwood 🌷 The perfect place to spend your Sunday (and catch a celeb spotting or two)!
Santa Monica 🍊 This is where all the chefs get their produce, so…
Larchmont 🥚 You can get everything here, from duck eggs to gluten-free corn bread!
Mar Vista 🌽 Oh, how we love strolling from Grand View to The Marina.
Plummer Park 🍓 It’s one of the city’s oldest markets, and it’s open on Mondays for the weekday crowd!
Topanga ⛰ Brand new market in the mountains! Stop by Cafe on 27 after for brunch.
Atwater Village 🌯 Local tip: get a breakfast burrito from Tacos Villa Corona before grabbing produce.
Hollywood 🎥 In the heart of Hollywood, but has the best selection of vendors.
Sooo… did your fave make the cut?
