Santa Monica Farmers' Markets

Santa Monica's Farmers' Markets are known for their rich bounties of vegetables, fruits, baskets of freshly cut flowers, live music, breads, cheeses, and delicious food samplings and the markets are open rain or shine. Spending some time at the Farmers' Market is an opportunity to mingle with the locals and take a break from hectic LA life.
