Editorial Review for Hollywood Farmers' Market – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
All kinds of shoppers flock to this open air market, from celebrity chefs demanding organic basil to local shoppers seeking handmade candles. No matter who you are, wide aisles and handsome displays make it easy to find what you're looking for. Though crowds can get large, especially near closing time, a friendly atmosphere encourages chatting with vendors and fellow shoppers. Street performers also liven up the atmosphere.
The Goods
Pristine local produce, most of it organic and pesticide-free, draws a mix of serious home cooks, curious locals and health nuts. Most of the vendors grow or make their stock and are happy to help shoppers select perfectly ripened fruit and vegetables. Seasonal offerings include heirloom tomatoes, Meyer lemons, and gourmet peppers. Rain or shine, more unusual offerings include Mr. Bezjian's freshly baked artisanal breads, exotic fruit juices and fresh-from-the-sea mussels and clams.

This is one of the better markets near Hollywood/West Hollywood. No where near as good as the ones in Northern California or the Santa Monica version, but the best alternative otherwise. The prepared food is just a tad above the street fair, but expensive; there's also limited places to sit and enjoy your food, so unless your hungry, something to avoid. The arts and crafts are also very street fair and generally pretty overpriced and limited at that. But you really go to a place like this for the produce, which is of very good quality, with friendly vendors. You really need to walk around to get a feel for the selection and, as an example, you can find a basket of strawberries from one vendor at one price and find the same basket (i.e. non organic, just another conventional basket) at a sufficiently lower enough price. Besides, the best thing about the place is the people watching. Fun by yourself or with friends. The flowers and plants can also be a good bargain, especially towards the last 30 minutes of the day.
Pros: Good produce, healthy and fresh food
Cons: crowds and lack of parking

I love the farmers market in Hollywood. Varied and fun - because of its great community and busy atmosphere, it has lots of vendors to select food from for breakfast or an early lunch and veggies and fruits to buy for the week. There's also easy parking. Many of the vendors are happy to tell you about their products. My favorite to buy there is the flowers and herbs to plant at home - they are inexpensive to buy at the market. I would highly recommend going to the market at least once.
