Farmers Markets near Long Beach, CA

A nonprofit network running seven certified markets across Los Angeles County since 1980 — Monday in South Gate, Wednesday in Huntington Park, Thursday in Bixby Knolls, Friday in downtown Long Beach, Saturday in Cerritos, and Sunday at the Long Beach Marina. All produce is California-grown, and EBT, WIC, and CalFresh Market Match are accepted.

Part of the Harbor Area Farmers' Markets network, a project of the South Coast Interfaith Council that has run Long Beach-area markets since the early 1980s. The Downtown market accepts WIC, EBT, and CalFresh, with Market Match doubling the value of CalFresh dollars spent on produce.

The Downtown Long Beach Farmers' Market operates year-round every Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on The Promenade north between 3rd and 5th Streets. Run by Harbor Area Farmers Markets, it accepts EBT, Market Match, and WIC.

Long Beach

The Long Beach Farmers' Market is part of Harbor Area Farmers Markets, which runs certified farmers markets across the harbor area in partnership with the South Coast Interfaith Council. Markets are open rain or shine year-round, closing only for Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, with online ordering direct from California farmers.

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.

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. It's a small coastal Orange County market — one block of stands rather than a sprawling lot — built for local produce and a handful of prepared-food vendors. Confirm the current week's hours before heading over, since listed schedules conflict between sources.

Wilmington

Known locally as the Heart of the Harbor market, this certified stand sits on L Street between Avalon Boulevard and Marine Avenue in Wilmington, serving the Port of Los Angeles-adjacent neighborhood with fresh produce.

Los Alamitos

Food Finders has spent 37 years rescuing surplus food around Los Alamitos and routing it to food-insecure communities through 280 nonprofit partner agencies. Its Food 4 Kids program feeds children at 47 Long Beach-area schools, and its Backyard Harvest program gleans produce that would otherwise rot in yards and fields. In its most recent year, the group moved 15.6 million pounds of rescued food.

Paramount

Paramount Farmers' Market sets up on Downey Avenue in this small, historically industrial Los Angeles County city wedged between Compton and Bellflower along the LA River corridor. Vendor list, market day, and hours aren't confirmed online.

This certified farmers' market takes its name from Main Street in Canoga Park, a San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Los Angeles. The address on file for this listing does not match the market's name, so hours and exact location should be confirmed locally before visiting.

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.

Norwalk

Ten-plus certified farm stands, including a plant nursery, set up Tuesdays from 9am to 1pm at Alondra and Pioneer Boulevards, year-round. The market has deep roots — it ran on Alondra Boulevard for more than 30 years before relocating to Norwalk City Hall in fall 2020. Beyond produce, shoppers find packaged and hot food vendors and a handful of local artisans each week.

Downey

This market sets up in the courtyard between buildings C and D at Kaiser Permanente's Orchard Medical Offices on Imperial Highway. It's a small, patient-and-staff-facing produce stand rather than a destination market, geared toward Downey Kaiser members grabbing fresh fruit and vegetables between appointments.

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.

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.

It's a compact market, fresh vegetables, fruit, and other produce alongside prepared foods and local crafts, without the sprawl of the bigger Orange County markets nearby.

Rolling Hills Estates

Huntington Beach

Every Friday, from noon until dusk, vendors line Pier Plaza at Pacific Coast Highway for this year-round certified market.

The oceanfront setting makes it as much a stroll as a shopping trip, drawing surfers, tourists, and downtown Huntington Beach regulars alike.

This certified market runs near the Lawndale Civic Center at 147th Street and Hawthorne Boulevard, giving this South Bay Los Angeles County city a produce stand within walking distance of City Hall.

Hawthorne Hawthorne

Saturday market at 13530 Aviation Blvd. in Hawthorne's Del Aire neighborhood, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., set up in the Da Vinci Charter School parking lot at Aviation and West 135th.

More than 35 vendor booths sell fresh produce, prepared foods, pre-packaged goods, and artisan breads, with several growers offering produce grown without chemicals.

Downtown Anaheim's certified farmers market sets up on the Center Street Promenade every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Downtown Anaheim Association runs it alongside neighboring anchors like Anaheim Ice and the MUZEO museum, making it part of a walkable strip of shops and restaurants rather than a stand-alone parking-lot market.

Fullerton

Downtown Fullerton's Thursday evening market runs 4 to 8:30 p.m., April through September, at 125 E. Wilshire Ave. It mixes farm stands with food trucks, a beer garden, live local bands, and a splash fountain for kids — closer to a weekly street festival than a quiet produce run. Organized through the City of Fullerton and the downtown business district.

Farm2People is a Los Angeles nonprofit that buys directly from small specialty-crop growers around California and distributes the produce to food-insecure households across greater LA.

Anaheim

The Downtown Anaheim Certified Farmers' Market runs Thursdays from 11 AM to 3 PM on Center Street, hosted by the Downtown Anaheim Association. It anchors a year-round calendar of community events in the district that's also home to Anaheim Ice and the MUZEO museum.

This certified farmers' market operates under California's direct-marketing program for growers, meaning everything on the tables was grown or made by the vendor selling it, not resold from a distributor. Beyond that, public listings for its current Brea schedule are thin; the certification paperwork on file traces to an administrative address in Los Angeles rather than a Brea storefront, so hours and exact location are best confirmed with the City of Brea.

It's one of several markets the Heritage nonprofit runs across the county, bringing certified growers into a neighborhood better known for warehouses turned studios than produce stands.

Southland Farmers' Market Association has run this Sunday market in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles since 2012, on 5th Street between Broadway and Spring. Doors open at 10am and vendors pack up by 3pm.
