About the Market

Founded in 2012 by Executive Director Blair Besten and the Historic Core BID—in partnership with the Southland Farmers Market Association—our market is a cornerstone of Downtown LA life. Distinguished by its resilience, it was one of only six continuously operating farmers markets in Los Angeles County during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We bring together the region's best farmers and artisans to provide fresh produce, unique handmade goods, and delectable foods from the local LA community. Our commitment to the community includes the Market Match program, which provides over $10,000 in free, healthy food to neighbors in need every month. Whether you're a resident or visitor, join us to connect with the community and support local producers.
