The Original Farmers Market

Opened in 1934 at 3rd and Fairfax, The Original Farmers Market is a lively historic marketplace with over 100 vendors. Visitors find diverse global eats—from classic doughnuts and gumbo to Brazilian barbecue—alongside gourmet grocers, produce stands, and specialty shops. It’s casual, budget-flexible, and great for groups or families. The open-air layout, shaded seating, and adjacent The Grove make it easy to combine dining with shopping or people-watching. Come for quick bites, food gifts, or a relaxed lunch; skip if you prefer fine dining or quieter settings. Parking is on-site; weekends are busiest.
