The Original Farmers Market is a sprawling historic market and what I consider to be the best food hall in Los Angeles. It’s home to a range of food stalls, trendy shops & gourmet grocery purveyors. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, and has been a fixture in the city for nearly 90 years.
The market was founded in 1934, when two entrepreneurs had the idea to invite local farmers to sell their produce directly to consumers. The concept was a hit, and the market soon became a popular spot for people to find fresh, locally-grown food. Over the years, the market has grown to include a wide variety of vendors, including butchers, bakers, cheesemongers, fishmongers, and prepared food stalls.
Today, the Original Farmers Market is a major tourist attraction, and it is estimated that over 4 million people visit the market each year. The market is open seven days a week, from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm
