El Segundo Farmer’s Market

It’s a very very small farmers market, but they have some really great vendors that are super sweet, personable and just all around great folks. I’ve been here twice now and I love it. I can load up on veggies, fruit, eggs, and a variety of prepared foods. Love the family atmosphere and the proximity to my home. Will definitely be back for as long as I’m living in LA. Plenty of parking on side streets. Can’t go wrong.

Very small farmer’s market, love to come for there bacon hotdogs and fruit drinks. Also there fruit is fresh and tasty. But make sure you walk around cause each vender has is own prices so shop around. I’m also happy they have pupusa and fried platanos. Not cheap but is worth to check out. Plus each week there new venders that stop by so if you like something make sure to talk to them to see how often they come.
Parking is not bad either I always find a place to park.

I come here for roasted peanuts, fresh baked bread, salsa, and fruits. I’m not a big peanut fan but these are exceptional! They also have a few prepared food vendors: crêpes, Mexican, and Thai.

Very quaint little farmers market in one of my favorite little cities surrounded by the hub bub of the big city and planes. Who would have thought? I think I love this one better (I know it’s tiny, but I love tiny) than the one in Downtown (Little Tokyo to be exact). They have pretty much the same stuff as the others and also entertainment.
Prices aren’t too bad from about the average to a little more cheaper. I love the fresh baked bread (whole wheat w/​oats or squaw). Salsa & chips were yummy too! Vendors are so friendly and informative.
Parking allover and it’s got that small sleepy town feel to it. Enjoy!

Very lovely and small farmers market. The vendors are friendly and attentive. They are different entertainment acts each week all of which are always enjoyable. Easy to find parking on the adjacent streets. On the whole, an intimate and wholesome experience.

Just walked by the El Segundo Farmers market. It’s like most farmers markets, have the organic foods for sale, all the different types of flowers, popcorn, jewelry and what not. This is the first time however I see mexican food for sale. Flowers were on for sale at $ 4 for 6 sunflowers and $ 7.50 for a patch of 6 roses. Not a bad deal!

In town for 6 weeks and before I left home I researched things to do in El Segundo. Was excited to find out about the Farmers’ Market every Thursday. I love things like this!
It was nice walking through the market and taste testing different things — the vendors are pretty generous with the samples. The peach and plum vendor even has a whole table set up for tasting every variety they sell. I recommend the cranberry orange bread (more like pound cake really) from the bread vendor — it’s awesome heated and slathered with butter. We bought blueberries, the bread and some fruit and nut mix.
My favorite vendor is the flower vendor — I was able to get fresh flowers for my hotel room for only $ 5.50 for the bunch. I’ll be going back for more!
All the children at the market looked happy eating fruit! It was nice to have live music while we walked around also. I liked that the restaurants and stores were open too — we shopped at a stationery store and ate dinner at a nice restaurant seated by the window so we could watch the market shoppers walk by.
Parking nearby was free and abundant. We only had to walk a couple of blocks and the town is so pretty that walking was a pleasure.

How can I not love my hometown Farmers Market? This market spans 2 blocks and runs Thursdays 4−7pm. It is organized by prepared food/​shaved ice/​etc. on one block and produce on the other block. I find it to be much cheaper than the Manhattan Beach Farmers Market.
My kids love the shaved ice, kettle corn, balloons. I love the hummus & pita chips — must try the artichoke, it’s bomb!!! And seriously who doesn’t love a bunch of free samples?
Also live music.
This Farmers Market is just one more reason to leave your heart in El Segundo…:)

I love the fact that this Farmer’s Market is within walking distance of where I live and also that it is in the evening which is rare for this type of event. This means that sometimes my husband can go with me and my son. I’ve gone every week for almost 5 years straight and some of the vendors have become like friends. Lots of fun foods from crepes to kettle corn… and gelato in the warmer months! Yes, it is small but it has most things that you would need and live entertainment. Free balloons for the little ones. It was so exciting when my 2 year old could finally tell which color he wanted. The third Thursday of every month they have craft stands that have some really nice wares. I look forward to coming every week!

A bit biased because I love love love farmers markets, but this one is especially cool because it has just enough fresh food stands to meet my fruit and veggie needs, but the rest of the stands are prepared food stalls. Maybe not great for my waistline, but being able to pick up fresh hummus and pita, hot steaming pad thai, and authentic Brazilian meat pies to go is amazing. One of the fruit stands is especially cool specializing in less common organic fruits (where else can you get Jujubees??) I might be trying to avoid carbs, but cheating that a little bit with Schat’s bakery and their monkey bread is highly advised. The only big thing I noticed that was missing was a good cheese stand. All in all, this farmers market definitely gives off a great down home feel on Main St in El Segundo.
Pro Tip: Remember to stop at the ATM on your way. Cash only farmers market.

Small market spanning just under 2 blocks, but it has all the essentials. I love dropping by after work to get some pluots and fresh veggies. Seriously, super fresh produce makes it so easy to prepare delicious meals while supporting local farmers. The flavors are worlds better than the stuff you find in grocery stores.
Have yet to try the prepared food but it all smells amazing. The selection is pretty typical– Mexican, Thai, gelato, potato spiral things, etc. Also has live music which is nice, and the place is rarely crowded. Not a place to observe spectacle and be blown away– just a relaxed place to enjoy downtown El Segundo and the local offerings.

How can you not enjoy the Farmers Market? But the «best peanuts in the world» were not

we got here kind of late, about 6p. we expected a sparse crowd at best, as well as vendors getting ready to skiddadle… how wrong we were!
this FM is pretty enchanting. perhaps it was due to the cool 60 degree mid-​January night in el segundo. the air just seemed electric. there were kids running around with balloons, music everywhere and the smell of freshly sliced oranges mixing with bbq and nuts. it was glorious!
after being a bit let down by the Plaza El Segundo FM, we were thrilled to find this place down the street from our place. though only a block long, it made very good use of the space provided. there were, comparatively, lots of vendors there. we were happy to see at least 4 produce stands. there was also a bakery lady and a nuts guy. there are food stands as well, a bbq stand and a mexican food stand and a greek spot. the obligatory jewelry lady was there too.
the best part of this FM is that, being in the heart of Main St, all the restaurants and cafes are literally, right behind the stalls or next door! we thoroughly enjoyed this FM and have made plans to make it back again next week!

Maybe I’m spoiled, having gone to college in Davis, CA where there is a great deal of farmland nearby. The farmer’s market there is buzzing year round with seasonal, beautiful, delicious, and affordable produce, along with scattered baked goods and meats, cheeses, olives, honey, etc. But I went to my hometown farmer’s market this past week and was absolutely unimpressed.
Sure, it’s the dead of winter. I realize and recognize this. But the prices of the vendors was much higher than I can find at trader joe’s and the quality and variety of produce available was beyond minimal. The live music was not very lively or engaging and I very seldom visit a farmer’s market with even the slightest interest in buying prepared food from vendors, although there was a fair amount of that.
I’ll come back during the summer in hopes of finding more variety and better quality, but I’m definitely pining for my college days as I write this…

This is a really small farmers with little selection. There are quite a few selection for ready-​to-​eat foods, but not enough produce.
The great part is that it’s free parking!
Note: Thursdays 3 pm — 7 pm

About 1 block long and half of that are food vendors. Summer has a little more choices, but fall is very limited.
There is usually some live music (Guitar and/​or singer). Makes it more enjoyable.

This is a very small farmer’s market (one block long) but I really like it for the following reasons:
— It’s a late market. 3pm-​7pm
— Parking is free & ample in the adjacent residential streets
— There are live acts that vary every week. Sometimes it’s a solo guitarist and other times it’s a clan of retired old guys singing their hearts out to The Beatles/Eagles/Dylan/other-old-rock&roll covers.
— The hummus stand closest to Main St is my favorite. Their feta is miraculous as is their Chipotle flavored hummus and pita bread. Also, they are tremendously generous with their samples.
— The guy with every variety of plum you can imagine. Their samples are self-​serve and unlimited.
— The Mexican husband and wife team that are known for their fresh honey and grapes! They are very sweet people and I especially enjoy being able to practice my Spanish with them although their English is top-​notch.
I’m a fan of farmer’s markets, period, but I like this one because I feel personally connected to all of my favorite stands. The fact that this farmer’s market is small and not terribly crowded allows the farmer’s to spend more time interacting with their customers. In this way you get to know each-​other and you get to know more about what you’re buying which together creates a sense of community.
Oh! And remember to bring your reusable bags! :)

Small town = small farmer’s market but it’s a really cute one. They have all the basics: produce, flowers, kettle corn, and other random food vendors. The last time I came they had a small band playing some good oldies tunes. Everything is decently priced, talk to the vendors, you might get some good deals. My favorite vendor is Big Mista’s BBQ.

Yeah, it’s Thursday! I was so looking forward to going to the Farmer’s Market in El Segundo after work today. Located right on Main Street between Holly and Pine, El Segundo knows how to put on a nice little Farmer’s Market between 3 – 7 PM on Thursdays. They block off the street with an orange city work truck at each end of the block and change the light signals to flash red as well to get your attention.
They do a good job at keeping the junk sellers out while keeping the attendants happy with decent parking, a lovely variety of food vendors to choose from with areas to dine, musical entertainment and enough produce vendors to represent most seasonal fruits and vegetables you’d want. It’s small with no more than 30 tents overall.
Familiar to most farmer’s market attendees are the tamale vendor, the bread vendor, a cake bakery, seafood on ice, hummus + pita, kettle corn, roasted corn on the cob, flowers and jerky. I was happy to see BigMista’s Barbecue (
) from Long Beach participate. Their booth smelled so good! Next time, I’ll know to come hungry.
What a nice way to wind down after work =)

it’s a very small market but has everything you need without being too overwhelming…
i always get the basics: beets, carrots, celery, lemons, parsley, cilantro (i juice regularly & make soup every week)…
you can even sauteed the green tops of the carrots & beets like you would spinach… they are edible!
none of the stuff is organic but it is very fresh!
i luv getting the fresh cut flowers, it’s only $ 5 for a dozen really good size roses… today i got lilacs for $ 4. everyone commented & asked where i got them, the smell is amazing…
i always stop by thai tiffany and get the pad thai, it’s only $ 3!!!
perfect size: very simple & of course vegetarian, only has eggs, bean sprouts, & scallions, crushed peanuts & thai chilis…
today i got spring rolls, they’re really good, too, just vegis & vermicelli, $ 2! i had it for lunch & dinner.
it feels good to not spend alot of $$ sometimes…
they have a reallly good chicken curry for $ 5
my daughter likes the chicken sticks, $ 2… it bothers me that it’s colored red but i see people buy a bunch of them anyways.
i also get her kettle corn — $ 2
they have a really good bread from Old Towne bakery that i take home and freeze. the cranberry walnut bread is the best & it’s always sold out — it’s really good w. honey & vegan butter. i also use it for stuffing… it’s $ 4 but i usually get one more item and they give you a price break, 2 for $ 7… today i get a loaf of sqauw…
and lastly, my favorite stand is the dessert lady’s: i’ve had the tiramisu, chocolate covered cream puff, mini cheesecake, and baby apple tart… they range from $ 4-​$ 7.50… very fancy but homemade… lots of seasonal items, too — she create theme items for every holiday (would make nice gifts)…
i take time off every thursday just to come to this market that runs from 3−7pm &i luv bringing my hello kitty canvas tote bag i got from hawaii. it makes me feel resourceful…
fun place! makes me happy:)
