The Big Santa Monica Farmer's Market on Wednesday has everything, including about 50 thousand people. Yet, I still occasionally frequent that one.
My favorite Farmer's Market is at Pico and Cloverfield in Santa Monica on Saturday mornings. Parking is easy..best of the Wednesday purveyors are there and it is all very low key. I head straight to Summerhill Farms for their stone fruit and heirloom tomatoes (they sell to Spago). I then head to Kenter Canyon Farms for their greens--on to the berry-guys for their amazing black,blue and rasberries.
On to Lily for fresh eggs..
Next to last stop is Gloria: Gloria has the most delicious strawberries, green beans, broccoli, fresh corn and beefsteak tomatoes plus a bouquet of basil for $1.00.
Last stop is flower lady: Our home is now filled with a variety of Lisianthus.
Pico and Cloverfield is my favorite Farmer's Mkt. Oh, did I mention the guy with the hand-churned sweet butter? If anyone wants to find me at 9:00am on Saturday, this is where I am.
