Westside Farmers Market Guide: What To Know About The Region's Best Markets

While farmers markets are a staple across all of Southern California, the Westside holds a special place in the region’s food culture.

For many, the true highlight of the week is the Santa Monica Farmers Market on Wednesdays — a legendary stop where local chefs and dedicated home cooks source the ingredients that define the Southland’s seasonal menus.

Life on the coast comes with its perks, and shopping for produce in the sea breeze under year-round sunshine is near the top of the list. From the world-class stalls in Santa Monica to the community-centric, family-friendly vibe of the Mar Vista Farmers Market on Sundays, the Westside offers some of the region's best open-air produce shopping experiences.
