Silver Lake Farmers Market

Great market with a variety of vendors! It’d be helpful if produce vendors put pricing signs. Parking took a bit of searching, but not impossible. All they need is a vendor with cultured butter and cheese and it’d be 6/5!

Best farmers market I've ever been too. All the vendors are really nice and I've built a relationship with them just by going consistently. The quality and pricing of the produce and everything is phenomenal. I would recommend trying this market out and making it a monthly staple to your routine.

Nice farmer's market with tons of produce! Tamales, clothing, and other things are here too!

Lots of fun treats to try! If you’re new to this market, definitely try “2nd place pie”. They are these perfect mini 1 person snack pies that are to die for 🤤

Pretty small market. Great to get veggies but not many other options. The pupusas there were SO GOOD. The berries I picked up cost me $20 for 3 trays… delicious but maybe a little overpriced?

I gave this three stars however I wish I could give it five! The reason I cannot, the prices on everything are astronomical! And the Arts and Crafts are pricey as well. Don't come to the market thinking you're going to get a good deal here. For example if you want a three-pack tray of berries expect to spend $15 also the vegetables I've noticed don't last long in your refrigerator at all. Now on the people watching aspect it's fantastic and the surrounding areas are beautiful as well. Just don't count on your vegetables and fruits to last long in your refrigerator like they do when you buy at the grocery store and I'm talking organic produce only.

Lovely little farmers market. There's a nice variety of local organic farms and some local made products like honey, dried fruits, gluten-free breads, fruit jams and spreads. Along with a couple of hot food stalls. Then there are maybe a dozen stalls that have vintage clothes, books, records, jewelry. And they accept compost!

Best farmers marketing in Los Angeles by fair, always fresh produce, small and boutique Silverlake vibes. Food is delicious and our favourite bread.

Cute FARMER'S MARKET in a great location. Lots of vendors selling prepped food, clothing, arts, accessories and crafts. The flower vendors were a hit too.

While in the area for lunch on a Saturday, I decided to stop by the Silverlake Farmers Market. Parking turned out to be easier than expected, as I found street parking about two blocks away--whether I was lucky or it's generally manageable, I can't say for sure. The market itself is small but charming, offering a mix of vendors selling everything from vinyl records and books to clothes, fresh produce, and meats. There's also a selection of cooked foods available. I tried a salmon rice ball, which was pretty good, and picked up some Meyer lemons, pomegranate, and Reed avocados to take home. The Reed avocados were an especially good deal at 2 for $5, and they tasted amazing on a salad. Overall, the Silverlake Farmers Market is a nice spot to visit if you're already in the area, but it's probably not worth going out of your way for.

For such a small farmers market, I am surprised that they actually open TWICE a week. [Hours]: Tuesday from 1:30 PM - 7 PM & Sat from 8 AM - 1:30 PM. [Parking]: Terrible parking - street parking only and good luck on finding an available street parking spot in Silverlake. I was lucky enough to find a spot just one block away (Lucile Ave/Griffith Park Blvd). [Amenities & vendors]: Pretty small with limited vendors - there are approximately less than 20 vendors with few producers, a small food court, and a small section of boutique vendors. The only interesting vendor was a tarot card reader sitting in a customized RV on the corner of Edgecliffe & Sunset Blvd. Micheltorena Heart Stairs is two blocks away from the market. There are much better farmers markets in LA. P.S. - Alfred Coffee Silverlake is literally two blocks away. If you see Alfred Coffee, then expect a farmers market nearby.

Perfect day parking kinda non existent . The experience is worth the walk everything caught our eye. Try the natural yoghurt so delicious I wish I would have brought a small ice chest

Love farmers market where there are organic produce and fruits to keep my 7 PH and waistline razor thin...haha. Tuesday farmers market is just perfect to keep the crowd away and have it all to myself while everyone's working. I shop when everyone's working and then I work for Yelp for free while everyone's shopping....lol! Come on by here either on Tuesdays like me so it's peaceful and quiet, or Saturdays if you like the crowd. Either way, farmers markets are always great.

Over the years, this farmers market has become less and less appetizing. With the exception of the killer plants that are sold here, most of the produce sold here are reflections of the neighboring canvas, with similar prices as well. Still down to support local farmers. But recently the market's organizers have been roping-in the market making it kind of a pain in the ass to find where to enter; I believe there are one or two entrances, which is really weird. Even more recently, my wife and family came here, we bought a bunch of produce and then went to the Window for a burger and ice cream. Because the farmers market virtually occupies the entire territory, we sat at one of the tables inside of the farmers market... One of the many, many... many EMPTY tables. The farmers market was completely dead with very few customers. Some troll who I assume helps organize the farmers market had a nerve to aggressively march up to my family and I, and tell us we could not eat our burgers and ice cream at the table. When we asked why, the market said that they offered The Window to rent out space, but the business declined. Look, I support my local farmers market. But I also support local businesses (which is completely blocked off by the farmers market). It is unfair to isolate the business and then offer to charge them to re-rent space which was originally for their use to begin with. Not only that, but the farmers market was completely empty. There were plenty of tables, and plenty of space. And we shopped at the farmers market! Rather than focus on the farmers market, and the customers, this jerk was more interested in having some weird rule/power over who can and cannot sit there. So we politely just ignored him, finished our food, and will never come shop at the farmers market again.

STILL OPEN DURING COVID***** * masks are required * all foot traffic is directed one way * everyone seemed to abide more or less by the social distance guidelines I went at 12-1pm on a Saturday and there was still a crowd and had to wait in a few lines for produce and pupusas. Lots of stalls had already sold out of a lot of things. It's small but cute and nice for a summer day. Support local farmers!

This is a cute little farmer's market but it is VERY expensive, even when compared to other markets. It's small so there is not a ton of selection, but we did get some great berries and cheeses. I wouldn't go too far out of my way to come here, but if close by or in the area, may be worth a stop by.

Love my weekend mornings here. Always fresh and unique fruits, breads, hummus, and pasta. I always end up picking up multiple fruits that I've never heard of but fell in love with! :)

This is a smaller farmers market but it has all your essential fruits and vegetables (if/when in season), and it is more hipster in the fact that they have second hand, vintage, borderline expensive pop up boutiques. They also have a woman selling crystals, a woman selling handmade soap and candles, a man selling different cooking oils and a handmade jeweler. There is also a bagel stand (featuring thier lox bagels) and a coffee shop called Caffe Santo who by the way, makes excellent mocha. I also noticed the pupuseria and tamalero from CSUN making an appearance here, so if you are familiar with them, both make good food. While it might not have a wide selection, it is a nice place to make a stop on your way to either exploring Silverlake or on your day off.

This market has probably one of the best physical street pocket locations that I've experienced among various LA farmers markets. It's a dead-end triangle that, even normally, is a pedestrian-safe zone with spots to park your bike, and is adjacent to a patch of lawn with benches. It's not crammed into what would normally be a busy street intersection. Other than its cosy location, I am underwhelmed by the number of vendors who come here; not a vast choice. Among those who come, they are always friendly Latino-owned agro-enterprises that offer great price deals and good product. It's possible to find deals on greens, vegetables and avocados. The typical Korean and Greek/Mediterranean/Middle-eastern prepared food vendors also show up consistently to help stock your fridge with ready-to-go entrees and dips. I've been impressed by their clothing vendors...a sort of vintage market attaches to this site and their cubicles have wonderful clothing options. That's probably what sets this "farmers market" apart more than their soil-grown products! Good clothing stalls!

Came here with my bf while waiting for the restaurant we were going to eat at to open. It was pretty small and didn't have the largest selection. There was a mix of produce, pupusas, hummus, spices, succulents, baker, and clothing/jewelry. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to go back but if you live near by and are looking for fresh and locally grown produce, check it out.

(Review from a Not-so-hipster Vegan) The venue is small and the vendors are just okay - produce, food, clothes, crafts, and trinkets. Nothing sparked our interest, other than the vegan empanadas and other vegan stalls they have here. Upon trying the empanadas from Komemes', I found them very oily, small portioned, and the dips were bland and liquidy. They were not very memorable at all, but if you must try them, the Potato & Leek is the best. The bf also agreed. There was also a Vegan Korean taco stand that looked very unorthodox and healthy (so we passed on them), as well as a bread, crepe/patisserie (we found out it was not vegan), and a sushi stand. Possibly a few more I overlooked, but again, honestly nothing stood out or looked very appetizing. Luckily, I stumbled upon a succulents stand that sold some rare succulents that were very pretty ($2 each, or B5G2 free) that made the trip worth it. I couldn't help but to plant them as soon as I got home. (The wooden box is from Daiso haha) Note: All of them were watered at different times and some were healthier and/or better potted than others (some were over watered so the flesh was too turgid and broke off or had minor rotten flesh/soggy roots...) Parking was a mess. The street the venue is on is one of the most congested, busiest street in the area, and the side streets that run perpendicular to it (where you'll see residential parking) might as well be the hills of SF. I was in the area to try out Sage Bistro down the street for lunch soon after, so I thought I'd make the drive to this small city worth it by checking out a farmers market as well. We stayed approximate 30 min after finally finding parking and didn't really find that there was much to do or see. So needless to say, we're indifferent about this farmers market... and probably won't be coming back to this place or any establishments within a 5 mile radius after having dine at the aforemetioned cafe, as the hipster scene is not for us, we realized. Like others have said, you might like this place if you don't have to drive here, or just generally like the Echo Park/ Silverlake scenery and vibe and want to pick up some local produce and pieces

The 2016 YELP 500, Review #110: Nice little Farmers Market tucked away on Griffith Park Boulevard. They're open on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can get everything from fruit and vegetables to empanadas, jewelry, clothing or play a bounce house. I came away with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and red raspberries. I look forward to making a wonderful berry trifle this week. Thanks Silverlake Farmer's Market.

This is an okay farmers market it's quite small, more expensive than any other farmers market I've been to and that's saying something, and I couldn't find any of the fruit I was looking for.

I LOVE this Farmer's Market. Yes, it's small, but that's one of the things I love about it. You can have wonderful conversations with the farmers, take your time. It's great. I've been multiple times since I moved to LA in March and I have never had a problem finding parking. The reviews that mention that completely baffle me. Park on Sunset and cross the street. Simple!

It is tiny compared to some of the markets with limited selections, but it offers decent selection of vegetables, fruits, flowers and vintage/retro fashion. I know most of us don't go to a farmers market for fashion, but hey... There is something for everyone here.

My favorite farmer's market in the area (vs. Los Feliz and Atwater Village.) I love that it's open on Tuesdays and Saturdays rather than just one day like most farmer's markets. The produce is always fresh and all the vendors have samples. Also, the jewelry vendors actually have the cutest things, so bring extra cash!

Super tiny farmers market. No pets allowed although cafe by with outdoor patio seating allows dogs. There a honey guy. No breakfast food. I love farmers market but this one was just sad. Its only fun because it was walking distance. Other than that, I expected a bit more. Also, probably because I am comparing it to suburban farmer markets. But hey, any farmers market is better than none in an area.

This is a great place to visit for shopping and food. Came here on a Tuesday which is a great place to come after work, lunch break, school, etc! There's an Amazon pupusa spot that has an amazing vegan option! Veggie Fam is a new vegan pop up that's right next to them! They have vegan hot fried Chick'N Sandwich, Impossible Cheeze Burger and Waffle Fries! There's candle shopping, vegan Ayurveda spot, gourmet Korean food produce, hummus, and more!

Love this farmers market, it's actually my favorite farmers market in the city. It's intimate, lovely vendors, produce, fresh soy milk, broth, and flowers! They also have arts and crafts, vintage, hand made goods, and jewelry.

This place has changed a lot over the past few years - it was dead then hip the a pre- schooler filled park of young/middled-aged cool parents and it seems like its back to just being chill, but that is probably because this particular weekend was during Thanksgiving and all the out-of-towners went back home =)... I still really like coming here on Sats...Its all about Morning Nights then a bounce over to the Crepe place...but no more lamb shwarmas!!! Its cool...they replaced it with the best avocado crepe topped with garlic sauce...unfingbelievable...It's our new old thing to do! I rike! Check it out on the junction! Bring CASH, park down the block on Hyperion and walk - it'll do you good!

We couldn't help but to walk through the Silverlake Farmers Market on our way home on a sunny Saturday morning. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/silverlake-farmers-market-los-angeles-2?select=NYdTU-pjkyoMUOWDHtWVFg#uhNxUkWj6Qz5maYxdsQ98Q) Not the biggest farmers market I've been to, but they have all the usual vendors: Local farm produce (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/silverlake-farmers-market-los-angeles-2?select=NYdTU-pjkyoMUOWDHtWVFg#WaD2RC-h3M3AHYzOn9oH3A), fresh bread, clothes, shoes, Korean side dishes, Mediterranean side dishes, flowers, coffee, honey, vinyl records, furniture (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/silverlake-farmers-market-los-angeles-2?select=NYdTU-pjkyoMUOWDHtWVFg#TvwyeV7bwQt57hTiX0BiXw), etc. I always pick up a few of the Mediterranean side dishes (variety of hummus, dips, couscous,m tabouli, tzatziki, etc). This vendor has endless samples so you won't go home with something you don't like! 3 for $10, great deal.

Having just moved to the Silverlake/Echo Park area, we assumed it would be the mecca of farmers markets. We were so excited to get our shop on this Tuesday afternoon. The market is probably one of the smallest I have ever seen (the smallest being Westood's). We walked through in about 10 minutes. There are a couple of fruit stands, a couple of veggie stands, a poorly stocked hummus stand, and some other miscellaneous items. Nothing exotic here. They didn't have a flower booth which was a little bit of a bummer. Prices were also generally higher than I have seen at other markets. Overall, come here to get your boring regular produce at high prices.

Great small local farmers market in the heart of silverlake! From produce to jewelry! All the vendors Are friendly, nice and knowledgeable in the product they're selling! Almost all offer you free samples to try! My favorite by far is called KOMEME it's a vegan/vegetarian & gluten free empanada food booth! Very delicious and affordable! Savory and sweet empanadas for everyone! They also give free samples! You can take it to go, or eat it there!

(Shopped 9/22/12 SA @ 10am): I'm a fan of farmers' markets and it was about time I checked out the one in my new neighborhood! We finally had an open morning from all the moving and what-not, so my friend and I walked down from our place and joined the fray at the Silverlake Farmers Market on this first day of Fall. It was already a warm and humid day, people roamed the sidewalks, traffic flowed, and shoppers were out en-force as they clogged the pathway from one vendor table to the next. Being our first time here, we did the customary walk-through from end-to-end before we decided which vendor(s) would get our business this morning. The usual fare of fruits, vegetables and food stands were on the menu, if you will, as well as some clothiers, jewelers, and incense shops to round out the collection of eclecticism. I was really amazed at the size of some of the fruits and vegetables we found here. Were these things given steroids, or what!? I saw some of the biggest mangoes and cantaloupes, and I recalled this particular stand asked for $1.50/lb. I'd dare say that these fruits would've cost me close to $5.00 each! As we made an about-face and headed back in the same direction we came from, we stopped to buy a bunch of four long-stem ginormous sunflowers about the size of one's face (freaking scary, if you ask me) ($4.00), an 8 lb. bag of Valencia oranges ($6.00), a large, and I mean LARGE grapefruit ($1.00), and two pastries - a scone and a vanilla & almond thing ($8.00). The sunflowers certainly brightened our place, the oranges were not overly sweet with a tinge of tartness, and the pastries were magically fresh and apparently prepared and baked by angels (the two women who worked this stand were very friendly and took pride in their work). As of this review, the grapefruit has yet to be eaten. The service was good as most vendors were jovial, friendly, and were ready to offer either a sample or at least offered to answer any questions. There was one Asian gentleman and his fruit stand who was not talkative at all and frankly, very stand-offish. Buddy, when other stands sold the same things you are, what's our incentive to buy from you...even if your prices were lower (they were the same). Parking was decent, either along Sunset Blvd. (metered) or the many side streets, but please make sure to check the posted signs on the side streets as many are permit parking. Otherwise, if you lived in the area, just walk it; exercise is good. Overall, I liked the concept of farmers markets, and Silverlake Farmers Market was no exception. The items we purchased were fresh, and by the look of things, everything else there was, too. For a community like Silver Lake, I wouldn't be surprised if there were more farmers markets around town on different days or hours. I found good value, as compared with other farmers markets I've been to, the prices are reasonable - as with grocery stores, too - based on the prices I quoted above (total bill was around $19.00; no tip required), but you left satisfied with the quality and that you helped "the little guy." The atmosphere, needless to say, was extremely hipster, outdoors (duh!), and the area this took up was a little triangle along Sunset Blvd. near Hyperion Blvd. I wished there were more stands and a variety, but you deal with the space you have. The attire was totally casual, so I was in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Cash was primarily king here, and although I did see some credit card signs (VISA Mastercard), I only saw one vendor who accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX!

Way less crowded than the Hollywood Market on Sundays. Beware, tons of hipsters though.

Decent. I've been to most farmers markets and this is just OK -- especially for a weekend. Go with Hollywood, Studio City or Pasadena instead. Limited selection, part flea market, parking's tight.

If you wanna travel for a farmers market, don't travel here. Maybe go to the Hollywood one or Venice. This one is really small and much more of a locals vibe because the selection is really small. Parking is not that easy but sometimes you get lucky if you don't mind walking. It's more of a farmers market that you stroll through then do shopping. Not much selection in terms of ready to eat food. Beverly Hills one has more options and even that one is on the smaller side but bigger then this one. I came here because I wanted a change of scenery from WeHo. Not worth it. Should've gone to dtla for the Grand Central Market.

I am writing this review as someone who wanted to become a vendor at the Farmer's Market in SilverLake. I met a sweet older man who saw my store and told me that the space I was renting to sell my products was not the right place for what I had to offer. I had some nice quality new clothing, some handmade jewelry and vegan purses. He went on to say that my customer is in SilverLake because I have very nice things. He recommended that I go to the SilverLake Farmer's Market to reach out to the right customers for my product. I thanked him and went with his advice. This was Monday May 22, 2017, and he said to go there Tuesday. It's been awhile since I've worked at a flea market, but I knew that I had to contact the people over the event to secure a spot. I called that Monday in hopes to secure a spot by Tuesday. I received no response. I called all week long because I wanted to check out this wonderful spot this older man was telling me about. I took a chance and went a bit earlier Saturday, 27th of May, 2017. To my surprise the person in charge over it, was rude. He asked me did I have a licensed or permit! Yes ready to purchase a spot. He told me that he don't allow new people in. Why ask for a permit? He told me the people who vend there have been vending there for years, they have a long waiting list, did I call or emailed them, he doesn't answer calls or call back. I'll be on a long waiting list if I did email. I told him that I didn't see the email option when I went online. He didn't give me the email address, instead he pointed me to an unknow location saying get the email there. He wasn't helpful, just as a matter of fact, and I was given no hope. He said everything discouraging to push me away. He said he has his people, they are the same people who've been coming for years, no one new unless someone doesn't show and that really doesn't happen and then he'll probably go to the people on the list on top first. This isn't freakin' Beverly Hills... I've worked in SilverLake and the neighborhood has changed but come on. What's more is I decided to set up a little spot at least to reach out to the customers who I was told would like my products. The customers where kind... and that's the only reason I'm giving it two stars... it was seriously going to be 1 star. On top of it all after being rejected and told it's secluded and only his friends get the vending spot. He sends a young man over and tell me that I can't set up my things near the market. I responded to it's a free country and I'm not even on the Farmer's Market property line. I tried doing everything properly but they wouldn't even let me in. So the guy who sent the young man over got irate start yelling at me that he was going to call the cops and start taking pictures of me saying that he's sending it to the congress woman...LOL... practically throwing a tantrum as if I'm disturbing the peace. Spoiled and entitled much, want his way, privileged person who could care less about the next person. He also said he was going to call the cops and I said okay go ahead. Then he actually goes next door and tells the store owner of the Bakery, that I'm in the middle of the driveway. She comes out and now it's two of them against me. Now anyone who's been there knows there is a part of the driveway that doesn't even lead to the driveway I was not blocking anything. After all of the commotion he caused and saw that it didn't affect me, then he start yelling I could set up over on the other side. I said that's all you had to say in the first place... he lied to the store owner & said that is what he said. I said no, you went off and said that you were calling the cops and the congress woman and took a pic of me. He went to her because he couldn't kick me off, so she could kick me off. Then not knowing what happened Then the store owner of the bakery believed his lies and she start saying to me that I should talk to people like they are human... there it goes, now I'm labeled as the angry black woman because I raised my voice at someone who raised their voice at me. I told her he was antagonizing me for not moving when he had no right to and he raised his voice at me. Everyone isn't going to take being harassed and not defend themselves. Then he kept complaining and making noise just so I could move. Mind you it's other people outside of the venue chatting up customers who weren't even with the SilverLake Farmers Market . But of course because I had products he had to really make noise because no one else was asked to leave. I told the bakery store owner he got hostile with me, but she just want to be a good neighbor to the Farmer's Market people. I'm not a trouble maker but I'm also not the one to be bullied and yelled at. By the way He still didn't' call the cops, just mean and nasty for no reason. I'll be back giving out flyers to people to come and visit my store, since I can't vend there at their secluded vendors club.

Regarding Lillian'S 1 star rating, I do think it's a bit harsh considering the Southern California farmers markets. I do go to this farmers market and I want the vendors to succeed so that they will continue to be there. Regarding the complaint about too many un-food like things. I think that is relative to personal preference. Many people may like the 50/50 ratio. Any un-food vendor who continues to sell here obviously does so because they have good sales which means people are going to this farmers market for more than food. Keep in mind it is the promoter of the farmers market that decides who is there. It may be, that there just aren't as many organic farmers that can travel this far to bring their produce. It's a lot of work and if sales are not good enough it's hard to justify the time and expense. Many organic farms are just too far away from Los Angeles. For me, two certified organic farmers is good which they have every week. One specializes in fruit and the other in vegetables. They both have a good variety to choose from. There arealso some more organic certified vendors that have been selling as of late. Dave's fermented vegetables which are Vegan/Vegetarian are great. I really love their products and have found them nowhere else. There miso and ginger salad dressings are so good and they are concentrated so a little goes a long way. They also have pot stickers, miso, daikon, kimchi etc. The "not certified organic" valencia oranges at this farmers market are $12 for a 25 lb. bag which is an incredible bargain. They are not "certified" organic but they are organic as far as I am concerned. I have spoken with the grower and they do not spray or use any kind of fertilizer for the soil. The soil is rich in nutrients already and the well water is full of beneficial organic compounds which they use for the trees. To me, you can usually taste the difference between organic and conventional. These oranges are the best. You will not find an organic orange at Whole Foods or Trader Joes that even comes close to tasting as good especially when you factor in the price of .50 per pound. Many growers are using organic methods but do not get certified because of the expense. I spoke with one of the owners of Kumu Farms on Molokai, HI who grow papayas. I was told that the cost to be certified taking in to account all of the testing, book keeping, fees etc comes to 33% right off the top. Of course they must pass that off to the consumer but it illustrates how hard it is for a small farmer to be able to afford certification. Another thing to take into account is corruption within the organic industry. If you research the governmental agencies that oversee this industry you will find that there are many who have been caught labeling stuff certified organic when in fact it wasn't. I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are likely many who have not been caught. Another method I heard about is for a certified organic farmer who grows but does not have enough product so they buy from other growers who may not be organic yet it will later be sold as organic. Buyer beware as they say. I've found that down here you may have to go to several different FM's to see all of the vendors that you may like rather than finding them all in one place. I have gotten used to that and just go with the flow. To me a small farmers market even with less organic etc is better than no farmers market at all. If you want really big though Sunday in Hollywood at 1600 Ivar Ave. is the place.

Anyone has a problem with a woman who sells seafood at the farmer's market? I have been purchasing their seafood for a few years now and noticed that a woman who works there seems cheat on her calculation. If you buy more than 2 items, be aware. I used to spend around $40 there per week but stupidly I did not use a calculator at the time of the purchase and once I found that I was overcharged more than $6. Imagine how much the total I might have charged so far. This Saturday again, she added $2 and we told her about it but she was annoyed and did not apologize. I cannot say she is just bad about math. The suspicious thing is that the wrong calculation always ends up in her favor. If you are that bad about math, you will lose your business right? But she's almost never used the calculator... If someone consistently makes mistakes in their favor, that is not a mistake. IT'S A PLAN!

I'm not a hipster!! I just couldn't make it to Santa Monica fast enough before it closed. I hate the weekend traffic. Very small market. This is more for locals who can just walk here and grab a few basics. PRO-tip: Stop in at Pine & Crane restaurant and see what Chinese vegetables they have to sell for $4-$5 / lb. You're better off at the Atwater Village market for selection and parking.

I used to live on Edgecliffe Dr, only 7 houses up the hill from this market. It used to annoy me because I could never park anywhere but I strangely miss it now & try to make the trip out once a month. The vegan korean food place is great, I love that they don't use fish sauce. I also love the Pupusa lady. $3.00 for a Pupusa of any kind and it's generously topped with that Salvadorian slaw thing, salsa and sour cream. Yum. There are only a few certified organic vendors so look for them, I am not sure if the other produce vendors are organic or not. The berry vendors are a fair price & have tasty berries but they aren't organic which is kind of a bummer. There are some new guys there called "BOMB" & I think they are raw/vegan. I had a carrot, fennel, raw, soup thing this morning & it was deliciousssss. Kid & baby friendly. There's parking up the hill usually and you get some exercise on the walk back to your car. =)

I rode the bus from Little Bro's apartment off of Sunset a few miles to check out this market (again using public transport away from home--so much easier). A nice mix of fruit, vegetables, flowers, as well as vendors selling baked goods, coffee, breakfast crepes for $5, Korean food, pupusas, honey, jewelry, wooden watches, used clothes, and vinyl/cassettes, among other things. There was also a cellist on one end of the market and an acoustic guitarist on the other so that you can browse to good music. Great to walk around, people watch, mingle with the locals, and enjoy the nice weather. My only regret was that I should have had my latte and pastry here instead of across the street at Intelligentsia Cafe--I would have gotten way more for my money. I ended up returning 2 hours later, this time with Little Bro, to have a real meal at The Melt's food truck as well as having a pupusa and platanos at Delmy's Pupusas food stall--delicioso!

This farmers market is quite small, but still very useful!! Fresh veggies, fruit, vintage clothes, jewelry and very good food + vendors who I haven't seen when I go to the Hollywood market on Sunday. It wasn't crowded one bit, but let me be brutally honest..... I've never seen so many good looking men at any farmers market like this one! I guess early birds really do get the worm. Oh wait, that's not right...

This is a nice little market on Sunset. If you can't walk a block or two because they don't have validated parking, you are a lazy dumbass. So where were we? Oh yes, it's a small almost tiny farmer's market, but it has all of the fresh greens, reds, and whatevers you want at a great price. For this part of gentrified L.A., that's pretty damn good. I am still leery of places that plaster "Organic" for the simple reason that there is no certifying authority in any farmer's market anywhere in Los Angeles that guarantees it, but if you don't mind that bit of puffery, you can score good deals here. Think of it this way, every dollar you spend here goes to somebody who hustles and sells good produce. If you go to Whole Foods, al you're doing is giving to an Ayn Rand loving, anti-union egomaniac. Just watch your parking meter since LA is hard-up for cash.

I just moved to Silverlake and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the weekly farmers market was just blocks from my new home. I stopped by this Saturday to check it out and was overwhelmed by the small town charm. I chatted with several vendors about their produce, business, how long they had been setting up a booth at market. Everyone was friendly and inviting. I bought a nice selection of citrus, squash, beets, and potatoes to enjoy this week. It's not the largest market, but it pretty much has everything I was looking for. I also tried a pupusa for first time. When I sheepishly asked the woman what a pupusa was she laughed and explained what it was and then showed me step by step how they make them. I started with the bean and cheese pupusa and quickly fell in love! I circled back before I left to grab another and was warmly welcomed back! I really can not think of a better way of spending part of my Saturday morning then meandering this market!

The Silver Lake farmers market is a pretty small market with possibly less than 25 stalls to it. I like that it's a great Saturday morning tradition, if you live in the Sunset junction area. The guys who make crepes here are seriously god-like. I loved having breakfast here! There are a few farm stalls that have good, fresh vegetables here but this is certainly not my favorite farmers market to shop for fresh vegetables. I have been satisfied by the stuff I've bought, but certainly for an LA based Farmers market, one would expect a lot more! I feel bad actually giving it a 3-star, especially since I love this part of town so much! The potted plants available at the Farmers market are really nice and so are some of the craft shops and all. It's a fun Saturday morning activity and is a great way to spend the day walking up and down Sunset junction. Some of the shops here are just wonderful and if for nothing else, it's worth coming here to get some breakfast, pick up some fruits and check out what else is there in the Silver Lake area.

All week long I drive by the Sunset Triangle Plaza and see bums and drug addicts smoking and spitting on the grass and around the fountain as dogs poop and pee. Then on Saturdays I watch as little kids happily eat, crawl, and play on that same grass. I love it here so much I don't mind my kids breathing in some bum's butt spot or dog turd remnant. The other parents don't seem to mind either... besides they need to find somewhere to bring their kids during the 24 hours per week that the nanny is off.

I can't believe that nobody else has reviewed this place yet! Stopping at the Farmers' Market at Sunset and Griffith Park has become a must-do activity for me every Saturday morning/early afternoon. For my first order of business I typically drop by for some organic, shade-grown, free-trade (not to mention delicious!) coffee at the Coffee Cellar stand. I recommend the El Salvador or Peru roast, especially if you like your coffee dark. Caffeinated succulence in hand, I then saunter over to the crepe stand for any one of their absolutely mouth-watering concoctions. They've got everything from light and healthy (the long vegetarian life) to big and hearty (palermo) to sweet and juicy (my newest fave is the strawberry crepe with honey milk - divine!). Go with a friend and split one each of the sweet and savory to get the best of both worlds. After finishing breakfast, take some time to check out the other goods and services offered at the stands lining the streets. In addition to your standard fruit and veggie fare (great selections all around), there's a fantastic pita and hummus place, as well as a booth that sells amazing dried apple chips. Two or three stands sell cacti, orchids, and various other potted plants, and I have picked up more than a few items here for my back stoop at home. From clothes to hand-made soaps to fresh tamales, there's something here for everyone, and there's hardly a better place to spend a sunny SoCal Saturday morn.

I sometimes go there every Saturday.. I most like the people there.. the last time i was there some "smarty pants dude".. was selling bananas, at $ 1.50 a pound.. so i am thinking.. seriously? seems like he got them out of TRADER JOE'S.. seriously... so still we bought some because we did not want to make just another stop. I highly recommend the cafecito place in the North East corner. The girls there.. are so organically friendly.. some air about them.. maybe they lived in Central America, South America or Mexico, very friendly and coffee " Delicious" Another treat is the CREPE place, for the first time i tried the favorite.. feta cheese and cucumber... with something something.. the one thing i remember was the freshness of those 2 flavors... This one located in the middle... I discovered the park behind them with chairs and tables and tops, so we hide from the rain and sat there.. I brought in my "Stella Artois" - contraband-.. but these days.. the nice "white can" mixed in.. with everyone else "Coca Colas" that are also, "white cans" for the winter season..... We sat there and enjoyed the conversations of people sharing the table. It was rather interesting.. some guy "lobbying" talking about politics.. and to the other side babies playing and "cooing.... or doing whatever babies do" Also, i like to make rounds and say hi to the Jewelry Guy from DF.. my "Paisano" we talked about "San Angel Bazaar" in Mexico City... and then i say hi to the lovely lady who makes jewelry from scrap jewelry.. we have bought 2 necklaces from her, and then there is the book friend..last time i bought like 10 books for like 10 dollars..and was not buying them by weight alone... . actually someone he knows is as interested in Jungian Psychology that i am thinking is my Psyche Twin, in another life.... so THANK YOU.. I also like the flower guy at the very entrance.. he makes some nice bunches.. and i like buying from him.. he throws in the extra flower food and is also very warm and when he is closing.. you can probably get the BEST deal in town. I miss a girl who used to sell little bunches from her garden. Her flowers lasted 3 weeks no problem. k.. time to get to work.. see you there on Saturday!

Was just here this morning, and let me tell you, it's a beautiful place to take a solo in your hangover blues. The selling environment isn't very aggressive. Like any farmer's market, you can try a lot of things. I recommend the Gastrobus for food (for not much money), and the coffee place (forgot the name of it) for a very fulfilling and bold cold iced coffee. Friendly environment, friendlier live music, a little soliciting here and there, and the strollers of yuppie mums: a tidy little Farmers Market for the good-mooded post hangover-ist on a Sunday's Silverlake day.

As a Downtown LA dweller I continue to seek out quality neighborhood Farmer's Markets, Silver Lake may not be my immediate neighborhood but is close enough to cycle so I consider it part of my hood. The Silver Lake Farmer's Market has just about everything I need. Located on a side street right off Sunset Blvd and the best news is I can cycle there, Sunset has a bike lane from DTLA adding an ease to being on a busy street . What I like most about this market compared to others in the area is many of the farmers are certified organic, which has been difficult to find in the DTLA markets. If you're looking for organic and you've caught on to the "no sprays" advertisement (be sure to ask about fertilizers) there's one new advertisement farmer's are now using.... "Certified California Grown" which indicates nothing about their method of farming. There are 2 farmer's advertising Certified CA Grown so beware. In addition to fruit and vegetable organic farmers there is also a grass fed beef rancher, Novy, free range no antibiotic eggs but unfortunately I've not yet seen a poultry or cheese vendor. There is a small food court including gluten free products, fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee. This also seems to be a gathering place for neighborhood parents with young children providing yet another community feel to the market. Of all the Saturday markets in my surrounding neighborhoods Silver Lake offers plenty and I love cycling there.

Yeah... the market packs a lot of great stuff into a small space, but it can get a little hiptacular for a Saturday morning. Sometimes I come here after going for a run and actually feel underdressed. If you have people visiting from out of town and want to explain what Silverlake is, take them here. It's real.

Kinda crowded but they have a nice variety of produce. A bit pricey but they take EBT which is great for a farmers' market. They usually have some good food stands too. The clothes are way overpriced for vintage which is a shame.

Great produce and great tents. Brought kids and they loved the jumpers and snacks. Great funnel cakes. I love going here on sunday night. So much fun.

Tuesday afternoon here is wonderful. I haven't made it to a Saturday market yet. The produce is fresh, and there is a surprisingly enormous amount of variety for such a wee market. Snacks are awesome. The vegan brownie guy has the tastiest treats in the block. Fresh, cheap, organic and mindful.

I can't figure out LA. You go to the grocery store and can tell no one cooks, but everyone seems to L-O-V-E the farmer's markets. Well you can call me 1/2 LA, because while I still enjoy cooking in, I do L-O-V-E the farmer's market. It's really the only place to get fresh produce (the grocery stores here really are pathetic) and the prices are, again, reasonable for LA. Things I love: 1) the $5 for 3 bags of specialty nuts or dried fruits 2) $5.50 for a 10lb. bag of oranges 3) flowers from the flower guy ($3-$8 for a couple of nice flowers) 4) the asian pears (I think around $3 a pear?) 5) that it's walking distance Things I don't so much love: 1) How empty my wallet is when I leave. 2) There are a few stalls I think are a little overpriced, but I'll keep those opinions to myself, as you have to respect a farmer trying to sell his produce, even if I don't agree with his pricing. Overall it's a fantastic little market and a great chance to actually get good produce, which is often MIA in the grocery stores.
