Nice selection of fresh produce. Loved Fresco Pasta, they had fresh lobster ravioli, focaccia, cheeses and prosciutto. All lovingly made and authentic. Best selection I've seen of artisan Italian food besides going to Eataly and paying an arm and a leg.

I love this market. It's a farmers market in its purest form, dedicated only to local food producers. Today, the friday of the horrific fires, I was comforted to find the gentle and nourishing community of this little market. I found everything I needed, for my soul and my kitchen.

Süßer kleiner Farmers Market, nur freitags geöffnet.

Market is small. Limited but decent selection. Higher priced compared to other markets in town for same product. Vendors are nice and happy to support small businesses.

My complaint is with the market manager who will bother anyone with a dog even remotely close to the market entrances. Completely aware of the signs and policies (he won’t let you forget) so please understand it takes a moment to look from afar to see the produce available before I tie my dog up near the street. Maybe set up a dog area like the Mar Vista market if it’s of such a concern? He turns me off from the market which is a shame.

Terrible experience. The manager harassed me, my husband and my service dog around the market. He followed us around nonstop and instructed the vendors not to sell to us so that we would leave. Other customers came to us to let us know that it’s not the first time the manager is rude. I wouldn’t recommend coming here if you are a queer or minority person. We had to involve the police in this situation in order to ensure that he wouldn’t discriminate us anymore, but honestly I’m never coming back. DO NOT recommend this place.

The good:
There are several vendors that have a variety of different things that are all very nice. There are vendors for seafood, fresh produce, flowers, sauces, local honey, mushrooms, bread, fruit, and much more. Menotti's mobile cafe was also there for those looking for a fresh start to their morning with a cup of their delicious brews. The area itself was clean and not super crowded. None of the vendors had long lines, so it was a pleasant experience to be able to look without feeling rushed.

The bad:
Several of the vendors only accept cash, so if you arrive late and want to buy some flowers with your card or phone — you will be unable to do so. When you ask them where the nearest ATM is, they don't know. So overall, you need to make sure you bring cash to deal with some of these vendors or you won't be able to give them your business.

Square offers free card readers for any business, and you can accept tips on their software as well. It would just make sense in modern society to be able to accept multiple payment methods to generate more sales.

Discerning agricultural product direct sale place.
Although the price is high, the product lineup is for those who are serious about health.
