Farmers Market Report: Mar Vista

Mar Vista Farmers Market


Sundays, rain or shine
9am-2pm
Grandview Blvd. at Venice Blvd.

From its inception, the Mar Vista Farmers Market was supposed to be more than a farmers market. Both the local businesses and the the neighborhood envisioned it as a more of a 'town square'. The first Mar Vista Farmers Market was on August 6, 2006, and since then with six yearly festivals, a monthly locally produced art and crafts show, weekly kids' activities, on top of the local farmers and prepared food booths, that is exactly what it has become. With a focus on sustainability and community, the Mar Vista Farmers Market is a Sunday favorite.


J&R Organics is gearing up for the holidays...


with beautiful handmade wreaths, flowers and great produce.


This last weekend, they had a Latka Party and a Klezmer band, Klezmer Juice.


 Atkins Nursery from Fallbrook had a great selection of California winter fruit...


and citrus trees! That would be a lovely gift.


County Line Harvest had greens and a rainbow of vegetables...


..including carrots, radishes, and..



..chard!


Every weekend, someone from the sustainable community is invited to the 'Green Tent'.
