Brentwood Village Farmers Market

I’ve always loved going to farmers markets because the vibes and energy of the people and the environment are always really happy and positive. Finally came to explore here a few weeks ago. Parking might be a little hard but if you park in the neighborhood, it’s relatively easy to find. It’s just a matter of how far you want to walk.
Compared to some of the other markets I’ve been to I felt they didn’t have as much vegetable selection, as many of the stands sold the same things. They had a lot of good fruits though! In addition, they also had a lot of stands that sold clothes, coffee and other goods.
There’s this stand that sells really good coffee at the entrance of the market (on the side where they sell goods/​clothes etc). They were on the left hand side and had yummy cold brew and used nice quality milk. Sorry I forgot the name but I think it started with a J? Give it a try if you find them!
I’d recommend this to anyone who likes farmers markets. It’s relatively the same size as the Mar Vista one but Hollywood is still 3x bigger.

Love this market! I was able to check it out this past Sunday, thanks to my friend who continuously begged me to come out.
They have a significant amount of vendors out there. They also has a decent little food section if you get hungry. Next time I go I’m definitely going to buy some colorful flowers!

We encountered a berry vendor at this market who are doing some underhanded tactics. They are shorting the boxes to hide how much is there. For example, we bought what looks like 3 quart size boxes of berries. But, 2 of the quarts were shorted, meaning we only got half of what we bought. OMG! I can’t believe people are doing this kind of dishonest thing. So, be sure to take out the quart boxes from the container and check to see they are filled up, especially the black berries, blue berries and raspberries.

High quality market. too bad they don’t have a website with list of all the sellers, it can be much help for us the consumers to know how sells and what. Other then this, we love buying our oranges and sweet cakes and cookies from there, next week we will try the meat and the Malawach: P
It’s a Mediterranean treat

One of the best farmer markets and deals in Los Angeles. Come here if you want a great bargain such as farm fresh or organic vegetables, eggs, fruits, etc. literally it’s a bargain compare to other farmers market. I recently purchased strawberries and this amazing deal was 3 pints of strawberries for $ 5 or veggies starting at 1.50 a bunch. It’s better than heading to whole foods or other organic grocery. While shopping, enjoy a fresh squeeze orange juice or try samples. It’s a great way to spend your lazy Sunday. I can’t wait to try other breakfast item: chicken and waffle or any of their baked goods.

Hands down my favorite Farmer’s Market in LA! Yes, I’m a biased West-​Sider, but Brentwood’s Market comes in above Venice and Santa Monica in my opinion. It’s got neighborhood charm minus the tourist factor, and all the delicious food you could ask for.
The produce is as fresh and tasty as it is beautiful. You will never see produce the way you see it in Cali, and it is Mother Nature’s pure works of art! Most parents beg their kids to eat their veggies and I once saw a kid take a bite out of a raw head of broccoli here– it’s just that good. They also have everything from fresh soft pretzels, breads and pastries, to seafood, flowers, herbs, honey and bee pollen. And beyond all your weekly grocery needs, there are stands with ready food for breakfast, brunch, lunch– whatever, if you’re hungry, you’re covered!
Like most LA markets, lots of toothpicks and tasters. You really can’t go wrong, however, I recommend walking all the way through once and then making purchases on your way back. That way, you know your choices and prices.
Favorites:
Livia’s Gluten Free and Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies– These are UNREAL! So delicious they never make it home before being gobbled up by me and friends (okay, okay, sometimes just ME but if you taste them you will understand!). It’s hard to believe they are vegan and gluten free! They give out free samples so be sure to try!
The Tamales! The name escapes me at the moment, but there is a tent cooking up fresh tamales which are so delicious you’d swear they were fresh out of Mexico. They also sell them frozen so you can take them home and cook later. While waiting in line I met a guy who bought around 40 for the week!
The Tri-​Berry baskets (rasberry, blueberry, blackberry– or whatever combo you want).
Whatever produce is in season that you enjoy! It doesn’t get better than this!

This has become my new favorite farmer’s market on the Westside. They have a great selection of fresh produce, meat, and seafood, along with a variety of food stands with ready-​to-​eat drinks and meals — everything from smoothies to lobster rolls, chicken and waffles, fish tacos, ice cream, and more. It’s nice that there’s a mix of both healthy (think dairy-​free, grain-​free, etc.) and less healthy options.
Yesterday was my first time visiting and I really enjoyed casually strolling through the market. I’m not sure if it was due to the time we came (an hour or so before closing) and the heat (it was in the low 80s), but it was not very crowded. We also got a sweet deal on some delicious kettle corn. For only $ 5, the vendor was nice enough to give us 2 bags that are typically $ 9. There were also a lot of yummy samples at a lot of the booths. One stand gave us 4 samples of different soups to try.
If you’re looking for a relaxing, low-​key thing to do on the weekend, this is a great option!

lots of yummy options. We love coming to get our veg and fruit supply for that week. I recently discovered pistachio and chia bars that were only made of 3or 4 ingredients. price point wasnt bad either. about 2 dollars each.
we saw some delicious pastries but they were about 5 dollars each so. no thanks. also, lots and lots of samples!

This is a great Farmers Market because it mixes fresh fruits and produce with made to order meals. I always stop at the Fruit Lady when I come here. She has the best fruit in town no matter what time of year (apples, persimmons, oranges, Asian pears in the fall; peaches, plums, pluots, figs and more in the summer). Yes, it is expensive but you get what you pay for. The fruit is always delicious and worth the splurge. I also come here for produce and stop at a variety of the stands. Parking along San Vicente on the South Side of the street isn’t bad as long as you’re willing to walk a few feet. I have been coming here for years and am never disappointed.

This farmers’ market has everything from fresh cheese to fish, in addition to local fruits, nuts and vegetables. The vendors are friendly and the prices are fair (and similar to the other FMs I’ve visited in the area).
I love waiting for the seasonal items, like figs and persimmons, but the staples I need throughout the year are always available.
Parking hasn’t ever been an issue for me, but maybe I’ve just been lucky. I usually walk about ¼ mile to the market.
There is a doggie day care (and groomer) and car valet at the entrance to this FM – isn’t that crazy?
Enjoy!

One of my favorite farmers markets!
Erva mate is a must try. They even have a cute shaded lounge behind where you can relax with your tea and even eat what you bought from another vendor.
Amazing almond croissants and fresh produce.
My favorite part about this place is the petting zoo with baby piglets, goats, sheep, and tons of other farm animals! They even have a bouncy house for kids. I wish I was a kid.

Some fantastic vendors here, including Yuka’s Kitchen, Probioitics (Sauerkraut!), Sole (Soup!), and a host of others.
Mutiple baked goods as well. There is a French Bakery by Jean-​Luc Labat. They are at the Saturday Santa Monica Promenade market as well (service is much faster at Brentwood location). Pros and cons to this vendor. Great almond croissants, delicious raspberry filled «donuts» and excellent breads. Small pies and tarts are less impressive. Pain aux raisin was tough and chewy. So choose carefully.
Also, be sure to make sure they (the Jean-​Luc Labat folks) give you what you think you are ordering. They have twice given us the wrong item. We got home and discovered they had given us the wrong pastry. What makes it worse, is that when we pointed out that they gave us the wrong items the prior week, they don’t seem to feel any remorse about it. Both times they said a sort of quiet, quick, under the breath, «sorry,» and then just stood there silently. Quite a contrast to the way other FM vendors respond if something didn’t go right. These folks just didn’t seem to care. Sort of a «too bad for you» attitude. Which was all the more strange because when they are selling you something, they are quite good-​natured. So now we check very carefully. And we’re glad we do because they keep making mistakes. Odd.

We had a great experience at the Brentwood farmer’s market. We came hungry, having not eaten anything all day. We could have had a meal just from the free samples! Our favorite tent was one of the hummus/​pita/​feta dip stand called «Brothers». The only complaint we had was that there didn’t seem to be much seating, or a stand where we could purchase water. It also seemed a bit unnecessary to have valet parking at a farmers market. We will definitely stop by again!

Ample selection from dozens of stalls competing for the higher-​end FM clientele; I’m of the belief that they charge more here, but also have superior product. Tons of opportunities for samples, and some great vendors on the south end. Flowers, fungi, honey, nut butters, a great selection of non-​produce as well. Fun for kids — great spots to sit; bring a blanket!

Loooove this farmers market. It’s a must every Sunday. You can have your whole lunch on pita, hummus and fruit samples alone (which I definitely recommend), but the tamale vendors are the best. I consistently buy my fruit (when in season — pomegranates, nectarines, peaches, strawberries are the best!), and at least one hummus (even if I still have a tub at home from last week). People watching is great too (ie. regular celeb sightings)

Such a great neighborhood farmers market… I love walking around and seeing all my neighbors while getting a million samples! Great combination of fruits and vegetables, breakfast options, and artesian foods.

I thought my favorite farmers market was the santa Monica market until this weekend. We went to the Brentwood one without any expectations. There are more fruit, vegetables, and seafood vendors here than all the others we’ve been to. Even the food stalls are better. We are definitely stopping by again next weekend to try the lobster rolls and bisque !

Smaller than others I’ve been to, but they had a good selection of jewelry/​foodie goods, ready to eat food, fresh produce, and flowers. We even saw some celebs!
Parking’s a bit of a pain — just drive around side streets and Montana — but what isn’t in LA. I’ll definitely be back!

This was only my third time here, but I will definitely be back. I was only looking for blood oranges, but ended up buying half a dozen eggs and some delicious looking strawberries and blackberries as well. It pays to do a run through and peek inside all of the stands before buying anything. I saw really small and unappetizing blood oranges selling for the same price as larger ones. There are no dogs allowed signs everywhere and I wish people would adhere to that. I saw at least one small dog and he was definitely not a seeing eye dog. I understand people’s love of their animals and wanting to bring them wherever they go, but when an establishment is asking you to refrain due to sanitary reasons I think people should comply.

My favorite farmer’s market: adorable; fresh, high-​quality products; quaint and pretty location near the country club; neighborhood charm. It’s just a nice breathing space; a lovely way to start your Sunday morning with your neighbors! It’s one of the main things I miss about living in Brentwood!

Five stars for the market itself, one star for the terrible decision to have a petting zoo and pony ride setup. Whoever makes the calls for this market, please reach out to me at your convenience and tell me why exactly you think a petting zoo and pony rides are necessary at a farmers market. I’m baffled, and I’d love to talk about making a change.
As far as produce and products, this is probably my favorite west side market. Larger than most, good section of fruits and veggies, lots of artisan vegan products. Good prepared food, friendly crowd, even some nice jewelry and craft vendors.
But then there’s the god damn petting zoo. Why? Why is this here? Petting zoos are notorious for mistreatment of animals and watching someone’s little two year old monster chase after a terrorized baby pig for 60 seconds was all that I could stand. Really, get this petting zoo the hell out of here, it’s a farmers market not an animal torture market. Just look at the sad look on the faces of those ponies face as they get walked up and down and up and down, over and over again. People should get their children around farm animals to learn and bond, but there are a ton of actual farm sanctuaries in the area that exist to love and take care of the farm animals as well as teach the children, not just turn a dollar.
Anyway, I’m just annoyed. Stopped by on a beautiful Sunday and snagged some organic dates, fresh kombucha, a perfect avocado and some brussels sprouts. Then I see a goose almost being stepped on and a baby pig running for it’s life. Get this petting zoo shit out of here.

Brentwood Village Farmers Market is robust and interesting. It has something for everyone. I picked up bamboo pillows from Moses this afternoon. I also picked up a garlic spread.
There are jewelry vendors, produce vendors, seafood vendor and food stands. There’s even a petting zoo with lama and geese at the end. It’s a fun place to be on a Sunday.

I’m torn. I love the diversity of dining options — more fun mini-​restaurants than the SM market. The little product booths are fun too, although I sort of wonder at the inclusion of the made-​in-​China hat booth.
The fruits and veggies much to be desired; far less organic available here than the Santa Monica market. You *can* ask growers, sometimes their stuff is pesticide– and GMO-​free, although they haven’t gone through the admittedly expensive organic certification process. Or so they say it’s free of such (with a few, answers were a bit dodgy).
In any case, the produce is grown locally. Probably.

My favorite farmer’s market!
When I first arrived I immediately noticed the petting zoo. As someone deprived of having pets, I was so happy just standing there watching the baby pigs, goats, rabbits (there are many other species!) walking around the pen.
I have food allergies and literally half the baked goods stands here offer wheat– (gluten-​) and soy-​free options. Many are also vegan.
The produce variety here is fantastic.
Like another reviewer says, the vendors call out to you to come try their goods. This actually makes me uncomfortable as I don’t like to be watched as I walk or shop.
I’ll be coming here again soon!

I love this farmer’s market. It has a large variety of fruits and veggies as well as other goodies. At 1 it still wasn’t sold out so you don’t need to come super early.
East & West Gourmet Afghan foods is by far my favorite stand. Their bolani (pumpkin, potato, and spinach) is incredible. My three favorites sauces are the garlic mint cheese, sweet jalepeno, and basil pesto. No matter how many other types I try the originals will always be my favorite. It was $ 24 for 3 sauces and 2 bolanis. What makes this stand exceptional is their service. They will enthusiasticaly give you sample after sample with endless recommendations.
I love getting peaches, nectarines, and plums here. Make sure you walk the whole street before buying fruit because there are much cheaper places than the ones in the beginning. There’s also a mixed berry special — 3 tubs for $ 10. I got the blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
There’s a veggie stand in the middle that does 3 bags mix & match for $ 5. We got a bag of tomatoes, squash & zucchini, & green beans. What a steal! All of the veggies looked great as well. We also got 3 fresh corns for $ 2 and a head of lettuce for $ 1. We also got fresh basil that smelled amazing!
The flower shop at the front near San Vicente is exceptional. I got a beautiful bouquet of a variety of flowers for $ 6 and its only $ 10 for two.
The pork & cheese pupusa is also great and for $ 3 comes with cabbage, guacamole, and salsa.
Overall I love this farmer’s market. A lot of the stands take card but I would suggest getting cash out anyways (there’s a gash station on the corner with an ATM.) We can do the bulk of our grocery shopping here for a week for under $ 40. My #1 suggestion to you is to BRING YOUR OWN REUSABLE BAG. If you don’t it will be hard to carry everything. There’s a bunch of street parking but you may have to drive around for a bit.

There’s nothing better than strolling through a family-​friendly farmer’s market on a Sunday morning. Everybody is smiling, eating, and laughing. The setting is bustling and yet serene, and nobody seems to be in a bad mood.
This farmer’s market is my favorite in Los Angeles thus far, and one of the larger ones. Because of the large number of vendors vying for your business, you can usually haggle prices down to what you’d pay at a non-​organic supermarket. Children can have a blast in the petting zoo, on the back of a miniature horse, or in the bounce castle. Vendors are generous and you could probably get full here just on samples. Some of my favorite finds here are:
— Truffle Salt made with real truffles rather than oil
— Jalapeño Hummus (and the 100 other varieties here)
— Warm, gooey, homemade baklava
— Fresh flowers on the cheap
— Cage-​free, organic eggs (believe me, you’ll taste the difference)
Parking is free. Bring cash. You know the drill!

This is one of the most poppin’ farmers markets in LA and I walk over to it (with a large cup of coffee from Peets) on most Sunday mornings.
There are so many vendors selling produce, clothes, prepared food, juice, seafood, cookies, you name it. Most of the vendors give out samples of their product (s). The prices aren’t too bad, (esp compare to the farmer’s market in SM on Saturdays), but I am sure there are many cheaper farmer’s markets.
Shout out to LA Funghi for selling some of the coolest looking mushrooms I have ever seen and shout out to Uncle Irving’s bagels for selling delicious onion bagels.
