Westchester Farmers’ Market

At Westchester Farmers market everyone is so nice there and friendly. It is never too crowded and you can always find a parking spot. There is almost never a line for any of the stands and the prices are very reasonable. It is a nice location that is very peaceful and you can just enjoy the day while your there. Relax on the grass or even take a ride on the kid train while you listen to the music being played by a nice lady. For example:
Honey 1– the honey lady was very kind to me. I didn’t really think about the different types of honey and what they do. She let me sample every single type of honey she had. I was sick on the day I went and she told me the wildflower honey was the best for a cold and allergy. Take 1 teaspoon a day whether your sick or not. She gave me a free honey stick! (even though they are just 25 cents, it was still very kind of her.) The honey for a small size was $ 5 and medium/​small $ 8, medium $ 11 etc.
Cupcakes (Crème De La Crust) 2– Since I walked in I was eyeing those cupcakes so I went a gave them a try. They were a dollar for each mini cupcake. The lady was very kind and considerate after I kept walking back 4 times asking questions because I was going to have a birthday party. She had great prices. She offered free delivery and stand. These simple cupcakes were absolutely marvelous. Although they don’t contain a lot of decoration they taste great!
Fruit 3– I stopped by the fruit man. He had samples of all the fruits he sold. You could take as many as you wanted. He was very patient and waited for you until you decided what you wanted. He wasn’t very expensive and he answered all my questions. But, there was a bee on one of the samples. I didn’t mind because bees make our honey anyways!

The Westchester Farmers’ Market is a sure favorite. I looked forward to coming here every Wednesday morning to pick up some local fruits, veggies and snacks. Absolutely love Dave’s Korean, but appreciated that I could get my fix every week.
My only gripe is most vendors don’t have the square nor do they accept Paypal and only take cash. One way around it is to go to a vendor who takes Paypal, buy something and have him charge you the amount plus what you need in cash.
Just a little creativity and flexibility definitely saved me from walking to the bank or Ralph’s across the street. Thank you, Nut Man!
Overall, a very kid friendly market usually with a ton of moms and their rugrats playing games, but if you don’t mind that so much this is a great mid-​week market with free and easy parking.

Was a Nice place to visit until… fruit and vegetables venders were the only nice ones but you get to the Jambalaya stand, I stood their with dad 5 min. No greetings. Someone from behind came, and they offered him a sample but not us!!! So my advice to them you want to make a profit be kinder to your customers. no music, sad, a very place to be!
Several venders had bad attitudes, so depressing.
Dont go if you want to enjoy a nice day.

Def my favorite famers market! Love that it’s not super crazy busy and chaotic like Santa Monica’s. Great produce and products. Very positive and enjoyable atmosphere

The Japanese Melon is expensive and not worth the asking price tastes like a Korean Melon. Found some delicious heirloom pineapple tomatoes. Limited parking.

Love it near my house no crowds.

I was underwhelmed with this FM. Nothing special. I was there on a particularly warm day and a lot of the produce looked limp and wilted. The plus is very easy parking. Over all I wouldn’t make a special trip but I’d stop if I drove by and saw a parking spot.

A very small farmers market. The produce selection is mediocre and the cooked/​prepared food vendors are minimal. I buy some fruits here from time to time. They are nothing to rave about. Stop by if youre in the area but down go out of your way for this.

This is a great farmers market — I have been to several and this one is my favorite. Every vendor is especially nice and it has such a friendly vibe. From the lovely woman who does an amazing job threading eyebrows (best I have had) to the Korean BBQ (the food might look different, but taste it because its truly delicious) and the Greek food stand. its small, but it has it all.
The fresh brewed coffee, fruit/​veggie selection, and freshly baked bread are all wonderful. One stop shop to be stocked up for the week with free and easy parking.

I’m upping the stars to five because this has become my favorite Farmer’s Market. Not as crowded as the other ones and lots of room for he kiddos to run around. Some adults from a group home even put out tunnels, balls and hula hoops for any kid to use and Mattel has a booth for toy testing and they give out free toys! Delicious fresh squeezed oj samples. Train ride here is longer, faster, cheaper and less crowded than other markets. This place is part of our weekly routine.

This is one of the smaller, more intimate farmer’s markets in all of LA. I go here every Wednesday to do my weekly shopping.
I adore every vendor at this market. Because it is so small, it’s very easy to become close with the farmers and vendors. They have a great assortment of food: from eggs to avocados, apples to bok choy, or vegan food to pupusas, raw peanuts to freshly picked strawberries, this Market literally has it ALL. As a college student, it’s great to come to this market to buy just what I need for a good price, rather than waste any money on excess food.
I’m not joking when I say I do all my weekly shopping here while I sip on a freshly roasted cup of coffee. This market is organically delicious & it really does make my Wednesday a whole lot brighter.

The Westchester Farmer’s Market is smaller than many of the popular Farmer’s Markets on the Westside (like the one on 3^rd Street in Santa Monica or the L.A. institution at the Grove). It also is much calmer with fewer booths, people, and free parking.
Every Wednesday morning the Farmers Market takes up the westside of the Westchester Park just south of Manchester on Lincoln. There is a stoplight for the entrance to the closest parking. The market itself is mostly 1 – 2 dozen white vendor tents selling pre-​made foods, fruits, veggies, and hot lunches (anyone say BBQ?).
Westchester Farmers’ Market is totally a-​ok 3-​stars for the local community. If you live in the neighborhood or work nearby, I recommend stopping on a Wednesday to support a local business or two.

Well… this farmers market is a delight to go to… easy parking… great prices on foods… although I’m very weary about the veggies that do come here. There are a few vendors there that I’ve asked if their fruits/​veggies are organic, and the response is «they are pesticide and chemical free». Now, that doesn’t TRULY tell you whether they are organic or not… although its great they are chemical free… that doesn’t tell me what soil the plants are grown in… or even what is used to feed/​water them. How can I be sure that I’m buying truly organic produce?
So…Although I do enjoy the other vendors… bakeries…hummus…lotions…I’m still weary on buying veggies from this place. Don’t get me wrong… the veggies are good… and I will buy them once in a while… But i stress once in a while.

This is my go-​to Farmers Market when I’m working from home. I love the friendly vendors and the fact that it’s not overly crowded or scene-​y.
I always plan to grab lunch from the Pupusa stand (chicken and cheese for me!), which comes with a side of salsa and spicy cabbage. Yum. They’ll even wrap it for takeaway if you don’t have time to sit at a picnic table to enjoy.
My favorite vendors include the asian vegetable farmers – they always have a great selection of unusual vegetables and spices. I always grab fresh ginger from here instead of the grocery store when I can – you can really taste the difference.
One of the fruit farmers offers «happy hour» the last hour of the market, and the last few weeks I’ve been able to pick up a great selection of stone fruit for $ 1/​pound. Sweet.
As others have mentioned, it’s a small farmers market, so don’t go out of your way, but if you’re in the area, this is definitely worth a stop.

I’ll keep this short and sweet:
The pastries from the France Bakery are to die for (and only 2 for $ 5!)
and the El Salvadorian pupusas from Pupusas Rita are super delicious.
If you’re in the area on a Wednesday around noon you should stop by.

This farmers market is small. There are probably only fifteen to twenty vendors. Usually the same ones each week.
I always buy fruits from the Peach Guy, the Oranges Lady, and the Strawberries Lady.
The Peach Guy’s booth is directly across from the Oranges Lady. Both of them usually have samples for you to try their fruits.
The Strawberries/​Raspberries/​Blueberries lady is to the left of the Oranges Lady. The strawberries here are always sweet. Better than any i’ve ever bought at Ralphs.
The Orange lady has good oranges. I always forget what they’re called, and I always ask her what they are. She’s always happy to tell me which is which. :)
There are also good tamales here. They also have a pupusa stand.
Sorry. I don’t know the names of the vendors. But if you show up, you’ll be able to find them pretty easily.
Parking: They have their own lot. There are lots of parking. You never have to circle around and look for one.

This is one of the best farmers markets in LA area. It is not too big and not too small. The size is just right that you can get your shopping done and look at some hand crafts and other non farm vendors.
Flowers are great. Honey is incredible. The soap, oh I fell in love with the aroma. The fruit is fresh, and you get offers of fresh strawberry from farmers.
Great experience. Highly recommend it.

Yay for Westchester Farmer’s Market! … It’s on Lincoln at the west end of Westchester Park, and right across the street from Otis. It’s small, but it has a little of everything. prepared food, flowers, fruits, vegetables, cupcakes, handmade goods, etc.
I come here for lunch almost every Wednesday… love to get bean & cheese pupusas ($ 2 each) or chicken tacos (3 for $ 5) from Rita’s. There’s a coffee stand that sells organic coffee from all over the world by the pound, ½ pound and cup… really friendly guy, and good coffee!

This Farmers’ Market is held every Wednesday and when I can, I like to come for the pupusas ($ 2 each) and tamales ($ 3.50 each or 6 for $ 16). They also have BBQ chicken and today I noticed a place that sells empanadas.
The market itself isn’t too big, but I think it’s adequate. It has a good selection of fruits and vegetables along with flowers and plants.

*** I had a Larry David moment today … ***
I was in Westchester right around 1pm so
I decided to stop by the farmer’s market.
Since market closes at 1pm, you can get
the best deals, right? My thought exactly.
First I scored a 5lb bag of juicy plums and
peaches from these teenage Mexican guys.
They ask for $ 7.50, but c’mon, mkt closed.
These ripe lil babies may rot if not sold!
«$ 5 or nada», I say. I get the evil eye,
but also the 5lb bag for just $ 5. ;p
These guys might dislike me, yet
they sell produce to me everytime.
Then I go over to Rita’s booth to get a
couple of pupusas, pork & cheese today.
Yummy, yum, yum … then phone rings.
I’m talking, eating and holding fruit bag.
Somehow I dropped my $ 10 bill change?
Of course I don’t discover the $ 10 missing
’til after I’ve finished talking and eating.
So I go back to re-​trace my foot steps …
I see nothing ’til I ret’n to the fruit stand.
I look up at the Mexican guys and they are
grinning from ear to ear. At that moment
I think «wth is this, some Larry David kinda
poetic justice … these guys found my $ 10»?!
*** How to win friends & influence others … not! ;(***
