Original Farmers Market & The Grove

6333 W 3rd St · Los Angeles, CA

Why you should go…

The Original Farmers Market opened in 1934 as a cluster of farm stands at Third and Fairfax and still runs dozens of food and produce stalls under its clock tower. It's now connected by a red trolley to The Grove, a Mediterranean-style outdoor mall built around a dancing fountain.

Good to know

General shopping guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Vendor hours are their own thing

    Market stalls and independent sellers keep shorter hours than the building around them, and quiet days end early.

  • Bring a tote and a little cash

    Smaller sellers do not all take cards, and bags are rarely free.

  • Weekdays browse, weekends buzz

    Pick the weekday for a proper look at the shelves and the weekend for the atmosphere.

  • Ask about shipping

    If something will not survive the suitcase, plenty of sellers will send it home for you.
