The Saturday Farmers Market in Irvine is one of eleven Orange County farmers markets run by the Orange County Farm Bureau, which has served the county's farmers since 1917.

Seal Beach

Seal Beach's certified farmers market sets up weekly on Seal Beach Boulevard, a short walk from Old Town's Main Street shops.

Confirm the current week's hours before heading over, since listed schedules conflict between sources.

Fullerton

Downtown Fullerton's Thursday evening market runs 4 to 8:30 p.m., April through September, at 125 E.

Organized through the City of Fullerton and the downtown business district.

Brea Farmers' Market sets up Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m. year-round at 145 S. State College Blvd., sponsored by the Orange County Farm Bureau.

Norwalk

Ten-plus certified farm stands, including a plant nursery, set up Tuesdays from 9am to 1pm at Alondra and Pioneer Boulevards, year-round.

San Juan Capistrano

Located at Yorba Street and Camino Capistrano, between Camino Capistrano and El Camino Real, this certified market runs seasonally from spring through fall. Vendors sell the standard certified-market lineup — organic produce, baked goods, cheese, eggs, seafood, and cut flowers — with credit cards accepted at most stalls. Weekly hours vary enough by source that it's worth calling ahead before a special trip.

Sunday market at 665 Artesia Blvd. in Long Beach, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., spring through fall. It's a straightforward neighborhood market — locally sourced produce and artisan goods, without the food-truck sprawl of some of Long Beach's bigger weekend markets.

Sunday mornings, 9am to 1pm, year-round, rain or shine — this certified market spreads across several blocks of Avenida Del Mar between Ola Vista and Calle Seville. It's agriculture-and-food only; craft vendors aren't permitted, which keeps the stalls focused on produce, fresh fish, bread, tamales, and flowers. It's one of the more consistently reviewed certified markets in South Orange County.

The South Gate Farmers' Market runs year-round every Monday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the northwest corner of Tweedy Boulevard and Pinehurst Avenue in South Gate, California. Part of the Harbor Area Farmers Markets family, it accepts EBT, Market Match, and WIC.

West Covina

A farmers market on Glendora Avenue in West Covina, in the San Gabriel Valley east of Los Angeles.

Corona

Corona's certified market sets up on North Main Street, inside the city's historic Grand Boulevard traffic circle — the same 3-mile loop that hosted international auto races in 1913, 1914, and 1916. Corona was once known as the Lemon Capital of the World, and Riverside County's citrus history still shapes the area.

Carson

Carson Farmers' Market operates Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the parking lot at South Bay Pavilion on Avalon Boulevard. It's a single-day, one-stop market, seasonal fruit and vegetables, baked goods, and handmade crafts from local growers and makers, without the multi-day sprawl of bigger LA County markets.

Pomona

A California Certified Farmers' Market held in downtown Pomona's Thomas Plaza. Certification means every vendor is required to sell only produce or goods they grow or make themselves, not resell — the standard that separates a true farmers market from a produce stand.

Pomona

Inland Valley Hope Partners, a local nonprofit, sponsors this Saturday market at Pearl Street and Garey Avenue — 9am to 1:30pm, year-round, rain or shine. The mission is explicitly about access: bringing fresh produce from family farms to Pomona Valley residents, backed by EBT, WIC, Senior FMNP, and market-match programs that stretch grocery budgets further than most markets bother to support.

El Monte

Los Angeles

A community farmers market at 103rd Street and Central Avenue in the Watts neighborhood of South Los Angeles, aimed at bringing fresh produce access to a part of the city with few full-service grocers.

Crossing Street; Mednik Los Angeles

The largest farmers market in the South Bay, drawing from roughly 60 California farms into Charles H. Wilson Park twice a week — Tuesdays and Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., year-round regardless of weather. Live music and prepared-food stalls run alongside the produce and flower vendors.

Gardena

Wednesday market at 1670 W. 162nd St. in Gardena, open year-round, 7:30 a.m. to noon. It's a certified market, meaning vendors are verified growers rather than resellers, with seasonal produce, fruit, and a handful of prepared-food and craft stalls.
