Reviews for: Hollywood Farmers' Market

As the Hollywood Farmers Market still thrives, I am so grateful for all the effort and enthusiasm that Pompea Smith put into creating this market for our community. The new board should make her a monument of recognition, not only for the market but for all the activities she began - thank you so much Pompea Smith for making fresh produce available for us! The variety you researched has created a well-founded food hub with healthy varieties!

I LOVE the Hollywood farmer's market. In a city like Hollywood, we are starved for a sense of the community, and this farmer's market every Sunday provides just that! There is a balloon man, fresh lemonade and kettle corn for the kids, live entertainment, delicious food stands, a great mobile cafe in the center which is a great meet up, and but of course, a bounty of local, sustainable, mostly organic produce! There are also bee keepers who bring their fresh honey, bakers, raw dairy farmers, bison, ostrich, and oyster farmers, a fresh seafood vender, a sprout maker, and several fresh poultry and egg vendors. I especially love the real buffalo mozzarella and fresh goat cheese you can get straight from the dairy farm. You can literally purchase EVERYTHING you need for the week without having to make another stop which is incredible. Also, you can do some of the best people watching in the world at the Hollywood farmer's market - it is a haven for foodies, families, and hipsters alike!

I've gotten most of my food from the Hollywood Farmer's Market, since it opened, about 18 years ago. The vendors are fabulous. The vibe is friendly and open. So much more organic food, than many other LA area local markets. The artisan vendors are great too. You can always pick up great soap, great skin care items, handcarved spoons for gifts, a great hat. All sorts of other foods, like nuts, oils, crafted vinegars, raw milk, fresh organic cheese, amazingly fresh fish. Free range grass fed Buffalo, free range chicken, cornish chicken. Oysters. Amazingly fresh eggs. I can make food for the week that rivals any expensive restaurant.

I love the variety of produce and the amount of certified organic vendors. We are in the process of buying a house and we made sure to look for a house near the market so we can keep shopping there.

Get to this market when it opens and the abundance of California is available to you. This market is festive and lively in the heart of Hollywood off the Walk of Fame. I always run into friends, and rarely have trouble finding even the most unusual ingredients.

Nice size, a lot of produce to choose from. Plus many stands with food you can eat on the spot.

It is nice and cozy and friendly and has good food! It is also near me which is a big plus!

I feel like the Farmer's Market supports ME! Great prices, fresh products and I truly enjoy the relationship that I've developed over the years with the vendors, farmers and ranchers. The live music is definitely a plus. I absolutely love this market.

There is such an amazing variety of food and vendors that always have wonderful quality products, friendly helpful service and the greatest diverstiy of people attending that I've ever found. It's my favorite day of the week!

I could spend an entire day at this market. The people are great, the booths are all fabulous and there is so much going on. You can sit and listen to live music, eat breakfast and lunch there, show love to the animals up for adoption and buy your week's worth of great food!

I have been shopping the HFM for so many years, I can't even remember when I started- It has brought life into a derelict part of Hollywood, renewed peoples sense of community and allowed them to shop, speak with the growers, get to KNOW what they are eating and what's the freshest seasonal produce at the moment- Meeting up with long lost friends is a serendipitous side effect of shopping at The Hollywood Farmers Market!

I used to live in Hollywood...now that I am in Topanga it has been hard to find a market like the one in Hollywood. It always had EVERYTHING I needed, fresh, organic, and always great prices. It was also not BOMBARDED with cooked foods as some other markets are. It has the perfect blend of a variety of foods and produce. I also used to walk to it and well it's probably one of the things I miss most about living there. :D

Varied vendors, friendly and helpful, but mostly I go to this one because of the fish vendor. Fresh, delicious fish, the divine Miz M is generous with the customer and gives good serving suggestions. Plus, you get the cut you want. No pre-wrapped cuts like other market I've been to. She and her husband Pete at the Plummer Park market have superior fish choices.

The produce is lovely and their selection of cooked foods is absolutely unsurpassed. (Have a pupusa!)

I love the fresh diversity of food, organic growers, the festive atmosphere of the market, the wonderful people.

Great selection of veggies, breads, humus, pies, even sushi! I like the live band that is their and the festive mood. Wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning with family and/or friends. Thanks for organizing this.

This is a very large and extensive Farmers Market with such great vendors. You can find raw milk and cheese to the best blueberry pie i have ever had.

It is our preferred place to buy organic food. We also support the South Central Farm, which is one of the vendors at the Hollywood Farmers' Market. Also, some of the farmers donate to KPFK during their fund drives.

They have everything - the best organic local produce, entertainment, food to eat, and crafts. It's a wonderful trip on a Sunday morning to get out of the house and be the warm sun.

Very fresh fruits and vegetables. Big variety of vendors. Also interesting crafts area that sells awesome stuff for affordable prices

Very diverse farmers from all over the state serving all sectors of the community

when we visit Hollywood, which is as often as we are able, we always go there on Sunday mornings with our son, who shops there each Sunday. they have any kind of fruit, vegetables, cheeses, flowers, different foods, also wonderful entertainment. also homemade soaps that are wonderful, and crafts. That was what I picked for my Mother's day gift, to get something fresh from the Hollywood Farmers Market for dinner that day. Wonderful.

Great organic selection, nice vendors. Even in a big city, it is very local and welcoming.

its got great fruit and veggies in season, lots of organics and tons of celebrities --- what could be better? Every Sunday!

The number one reason would be selection. They have everything and usually multiple choices of farmers to go to for your produce needs. I can get almost everything I need for my groceries in one place. Many of the farmers are friendly and make it a habit of remembering me and appreciating loyalty with special discounts and freebies. J and P West Coast Seafood has the most beautiful fresh fish around. Marilyn and her sister have gotten me addicted to their grand fish selection and I can't stay away! Carmela farmers market fresh ice cream makes you feel like you have churned it yourself. The Mushroom lady has the best prices and is one of the few mushroom farmers at markets around. In addition to all the amazing produce the prepared food vendors are brilliant. I have tried Pupusas elsewhere but never found them as tasty as Delmy ( not sure I got the name right) You can find muffins and granola that are naturally sweetened with no sugar. Dave's Vegan Korean food makes Tempeh from Blackbeans and Rice instead of Soy. I could go on for hours. Some of the vendors I see at other markets but this is the place where I can get them all at once!! I am going to go eat some of J& P West Coast Seafood Smoked Salmon with a Hollywood Market Produce full salad right now!!!

Wonderful variety of fruits, vegetable, breads, cheese, and eggs. The kids love the balloon man. Better than anything available at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's!

Great greens - black kale, arugula, green kale, romaine, purple kale, avos, fresh walnuts, wonderful mango nectarines & white nectarines - great 4 socializing, great vendors!!!!!

Vegan Soul Food. Vegan Peruvian Chocolate. The Breadman. Vegan Pesto. The vibe is unreal. The drummer with little kids dancing. Thai coconut cakes.

organic produce, Eddie Dread (fun music for kids), lots of live music, great vegan vendors.... the list goes on.

It has everything! Wonderful produce, arts and crafts, and the best people watching!

It's huge, there's tons of variety, and my favorite organic farmers are there, including the inner-city organic farmers.

freshest produce, great booths with NFPs getting more of us involved, friendly staff!

I teach vegan organic cooking classes and the Farmer's market allows me to teach my students about what foods are in season and how to pick the best produce in the world!

I love the Hollywood Farmers' Market!! I'm lucky to be able to walk there every Sunday. There is a wide variety of organic food, arts and crafts & ready to eat food...friendly vendors and great people watching...

They have a great variety of products, very nice friendly vendors, and also craft stalls.

I love the Hollywood Farmers' Market because they have a wide variety of organic, artisan, nutritious food and handcrafted products...It's HUGE compared to other farmers markets!

This market brings a wonderful selection and convenience to a highly populated area that might not otherwise be able to enjoy fresh market fair!

It's a total cross section of Los Angeles - has people from the Hollywood Hills to the "Streets" and everything in between. It also has wonderful range of food, artfully displayed - from "elbow-dripping juicy" produce to mouthwatering food prepared right there. The entertainment goes from kid's balloons to sophisticated jazz. My friend from Boston chose the Hollywood Farmers Market over the Getty! It truly displays all the colors of the rainbow - in it's food and in its people.

Nearby, right in downtown Hollywood, yet brings in local farmers fresh produce. Love it!

Easy entertainment for the family. Music and balloons for the kids while you pick out the week's local, organic food.

It's a community, it supports local growers and healthy food. You feel like you are swept into another world filled with familiar and unfamiliar tastes and smells - it's a little oasis in the middle of the urban chaos of L.A. And the best part - the farmers and vendors are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and fun!

because we love the beautiful produce, from the incredible Ojai Pixie tangerines to the amazing green cauliflower that my daighter could not get enough of. Then there are great musicians and the the best balloon artist ever!

selection and variety. freshness and many unique items i did not even know of until i went there.plus the people are cool.

It's big, and offers a wide viriety of products, organic, friendly people, good prices.

great friendly atmosphere. lots of organic farm stands. large variety of produce. good mix of produce, prepared foods, baked goods and non-food items.

Hollywood Farmers Market has everything! Fruits, veggies, plants plus great street musicians. It gets a bit crowded later in the morning but early is pretty sweet.

I love the fresh, organic and local produce. One of the joys of living in SoCal is the variety of produce that we have access to and the farmers' market seems to have some the best around. I also enjoy the breads, tamales and other things for sale there. A wonderful thing to find in the middle of Hollywood.

Shopping here makes me feel a great sense of community. Amidst the urban maze of Hollywood we choose the abundance of fresh food grown just a hundred miles away, that once grew freely in our city. From the overabundance of choices one must feel gratitude to be so l feel gratitude to be so blessed living here in Southern California.

I have been going to this market for years. I believe in supporting local farmers, developing a relationship with them, and knowing that the produce I purchase is guaranteed. I also like the baked goods and other non-produce merchandise. Hollywood Farmer's Market has many vendors so you have a varied selection of produce.

I support the Hollywood Farmers Market because there are a lot of organic wonderful growers. I love that they remember me and will recommend thing based on what I've bought in the past. Sometimes they even pull stuff aside until I get there.

great selection, lots of organic choices, excellent prepared food, great jazz trio plays as well, so you can shop to cool music.

Year round selection of fresh locally grown produce; free musical entertainment & a lot of fun!

Can't beat it!!! It's close (to me) and very diverse! You can find almost anything.I love it!

We love the lively, cheerful scene, the helpful vendors, and the great selection at this large market. We go every week!

The hollywood farmer's market offers a sense of community that one doesn't get often living in the LA area. There is everything from busking musicians to artisans to the traditional farmer vendors and hot food. But this market is huge and also offers the largest array of organic food of any farmer's market in the area, something that is important to me due to health concerns. This is my favorite outing of the week and I hope they win. The friendly farmers and artisans of the market deserve it!

This is a non-profit market helping build a healthy community. Besides, they have the best food and the best vendors at this market.

It's wonderful and diverse with all kinds of organic produce and tons of VEGAN food at the stalls.

They have the best variety and the sellers are so incredibly nice. My son nearly grew up stealing tomatoes and apples from the vendors - they were so nice and patient with him :)

IT'S MY PRIMARY SOURCE FOR ORGANIC FRESH PRODUCE, EVERYONE IS EXCEEDINGLY FRIENDLY, AND FINALLY, THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF VARIETY AS FAR AS FOOD AND ENTERTAINMENT GOES.

It is so much fun to visit friends who live in the area, walk the streets of Hollywood with them and reminisce of our childhood days growing up here (I'm from Hollywood). The fruits and vegetables are from local farmers and being a vegetarian - I try to come down as much as I can to this fun place for friends and great organic goodies! There's always something new to see and try!

This market has a great selection of fruits, vegetables, meat, fish and my favorite prepared foods/street vendors/grilled goodness. I recommend the Greek or the Korean grill and the papusas. The bagel vendor is great too.

This is a long standing, consistent Farmers' Market! They always have what you expect and much, much more!

I love walking over on Sundays and picking up my fresh fruits and veggies for the week. I also inevitably find something fun and tasty that I didn't know I was missing before... like fresh blood orange margarita mix with no artificial ingredients!

The Hollywood Farmers Market has such a great selection of farmers and other vendors.It has really enriched the community and continues to grow in this respect. IT is healthy and fun for the whole family.

It's a large & well supplied with lots of different produce farmers market

Super friendly farmers and booth staff and the largest selection and freshest products in Los Angeles.

It's a good market. It's crowded, and popular things tend to sell out, but it's still good. I really wish there was more meat available - there are only a couple of stands.
