Pretty chill. Small. Neighborhood parking. Seen some of the booths at other markets like the chicken guys. Best part is it's by the beach mostly. On a Thursday of all things. I had no clue so just checked it out. Parks n rec was there selling some pastries but I already had my sugar dose today sadly. read more

Finally checked out my local farmers market! As some of the other reviews mention, it's mostly food vendors, I believe I saw 2 produce vendors, 1 flower vendor and a few jewelry/crystal vendors. Although there's just 2 produce vendors, they have a pretty wide selection, and I was able to find everything I was looking for. I don't remember the name of the vendor, but I tried the pupusas and agua fresca from them and both were delicious! Unfortunately I didn't have much time here so I'm looking forward to coming back to check out more of the vendors! read more

2 stars for effort, but this market needs a glow-up. Came in expecting a charming local farmer's market--left wondering if I accidentally wandered into a parking lot garage sale with a fruit stand thrown in for optics. Where's the farm-fresh bounty? I saw more succulents and soap than anything remotely grown in soil. A couple vendors were cool (shoutout to the coffee guy--your beans smelled like hope in a burlap sack), but overall it felt like someone started planning a farmers market and got distracted by Pinterest. If you're after fresh produce and down-to-earth vibes, this isn't the spot. But if you want to sniff some beans and wonder why there's not a single strawberry in sight--you've found your place. read more

Killing time before an event, my eyes spied the El Segundo Farmer's Market & knew I had to check it out. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select_video=hPQdvTUod3K10rBcvJci3w&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Having the fortune of having Cerritos & Long Beach Farmer's Markets near me, I was underwhelmed with El Segundo's. There was 1 produce seller & 1 fruit seller (could've been the same business). Mainly hot food vendors, the customer options were meager, at best. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select_video=NgNIdtoPZxoMFKl7aHOShg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=s9KSYryGP7_LXW34MgOnQg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select_video=YQM3Yd-uiwcxQ3PRfpXGqg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Having a farmer's market is better than having no farmer's market. However, seeing El Segundo's made me appreciate my local farmer's markets, more. The El Segundo Farmer's Market is held every Thursday 3pm - 7pm. I hope more vendors can be secured to offer a wide range of options for customers looking to not spend money at the big box stores. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rxTNH3SNDqGVmdIRUw_DCQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA read more

Really nice and diverse Farmers Market. Lots of yummy options. A mix of street vendors and food trucks. All genres of food from Mexican to Vietnamese to Filipino. Bright beautiful location. Lots of grassy areas nearby for kids to play in. Next to the Library and on Main Street. Super safe for kids and families read more

Very happy that El Segundo has a weekly Farmer's Market. Right in cozy downtown, in front of City Hall, the Police Station and the Fire Department, I'm not sure you could feel safer walking anywhere else. They block of a section of Main Street which allows families to roam freely and there's a courtyard area between City Hall and the Police Station with some grassy area and tables. It's a relatively small market with just a couple of booths with fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. But there are a number of freshly prepared food booths that should allow everyone in your group to find something they like. The twisted potato booth is always a hit with the kids and adults. There's a tamale booth, fresh Hawaiian chicken sandwich / plate booth, Japanese, baked goods and some shopping as well (clothes, jewelry, etc.). Many of the stores in El Segundo are still open and, if by some odd chance you can't find something you like to eat there, there are a number of restaurants within walking distance. Parking in downtown El Segundo is free some come on down on a Thursday and have some fun. Enjoy!!! read more

Excellent options for full meals or snacks. Easy to park nearby and stroll. We'll be back.

Fresh produce, friendly folks and yummy food. We had the Pupusas- beyond impressed!! So fresh, delicious and homemade taste- could've gone for seconds or even thirds. Will def be stopping by every Thursdays just for these~ so yummy!! read more

El segundo local. It's a small home town, with its own small town farmer's market! There are different types of goodies here. Wonderful fresh produce, yummy snacks, great meals, drinks, sweets, clothes, flowers, crystals, and more! There are seasonal or holiday additions sometimes too (maybe a jumper for the kids, and/or live music etc.). Safe clean community. Free street parking. My favorite spots: Twist potato, tamales, crepes, teriyaki bbq chicken bowl or plate, fresh strawberries, orange juice, lemonade, and Heidi's Crystals! I've heard good things about near every other food booth as well. read more

Poisonous popcorn here. My entire mouth went numb after eating it and I felt so sick. My kids said it tasted like hand sanitizer and my husband tried and had the same experience!!! read more

El Segundo Farmer's Market - Yuck - Farmers Market Near Me - El Segundo, California

El Segundo's Farmers Market is every Thursday afternoon, from 3-7 pm and takes up the 400 block on Main Street in front of the Fire Department/Library/City Hall. There are stands that sell produce, prepared foods, and a few vendors who sell jewelry and clothes. You may not find everything you may want here, but there are enough options to supplement your groceries from the big chains, and the quality is far superior while the prices are usually about equal. My favorite peaches came from the seasonal Summer stand who only comes when their fruit is in season. Avocados are sold at several stands in varying sizes and varieties. Mom's Products sells spicy olives, hummus, marinated artichoke hearts, and spanikopita (spinach and feta pastry), offering increasing discounts as you purchase more. Gaytan Family Farm not only sells wonderful orange yolk eggs, but their produce includes some of the best heirloom tomatoes, unrivaled by any you can buy in a chain supermarket. I loved the harissa from the Parmigiano-Reggiano spread stand; I always keep some on hand to spice up anything that needs some zing, whether it's scrambled eggs or fish. The Chicken Guys sell parts or whole chickens for a great family take away option (there is also a Thai takeaway, tamale stand, pupusa stand, crepes, kettle corn, and swirling potato most weeks). If you are in the area, it's worth stopping by, especially since parking nearby is easy and free, and they even offer a shuttle so that you may leave your car at home! read more

This Farmer's Market is awesome. Has a ton of specialty items and best of all are all the vendors behind these great products. I love the bread guy's selection! I'm currently hooked on the Jalapeño Cheddar. The guy who sells the bread, Enrique, is a funny, cool dude and I look forward to purchasing my bread from his stand every week. I'm also a huge fan of the Hummus and Grape Leaves at the Mediterranean stand. He's got a ton of delicious varieties for the hummus. Current favorite is the Artichoke Spinach. He also has some good yogurt. Whenever I'm having a really late lunch I'll grab myself a grilled cheese from aunt Aunt Jean's or some beef tacos at the Pupusa spot. Pros: + Jalapeño Cheddar Bread + Hummus + Grape Leaves + Most vendors are friendly and just fun to buy from + Amazing products + Convenient spot for a late lunch or dinner Cons: - Some items are overpriced (I won't put you on blast. You know who you are ;p) read more

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! read more

El Segundo Farmer's Market - Setting up - Farmers Market Near Me - El Segundo, California

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! :) read more

El Segundo Farmer's Market - Barrels of plums! - Farmers Market Near Me - El Segundo, California

Perfect little farmer's market that operates every Thursday from 3 to 7pm in Downtown El Segundo on the 400 block of Main Street. It was all happenstance the way my boyfriend and I stopped by because Two Guns Kitchen, where we went for coffee that lovely afternoon, was smack dab in the middle of this market. Dead giveaway was seeing this random woman carrying kettle popcorn in the parking lot out back! I coveted that popcorn but we had to practice a bit of self-control since my boyfriend made dinner reservations for us in Manhattan Beach. Compared to other farmer's markets I've visited, this one is quite small. There's a salsa stand that offered chip and salsa samples and we ended up buying a jar of medium green salsa. Absolutely delish. There's a flower stand as well and it had the most vibrant sunflowers for less than $5 per bunch. Such a deal! Other stands at this market include a pupusas stand, fruits and veggies, tacos, bread/pastries, kettle corn, pickles, hummus/grains, etc. Quite a lively farmer's market despite its tiny size actually; there was music blasting and kids were dancing around and singing kids karaoke at one stand as well. Summer break, must be nice. Overall, I'd say it's worth checking out if you live in the area. read more

This is a very small market. I think it's the same size as the Westchester one. it only spans two blocks. There's a great dessert stand that has Cookies, Cakes, Chocolates and pies. Oh my! A big cookie and a small bag of Chocolate dipped rolled cookies were $6. That's a little expensive I think. Lately, the cookie lady had Chocolate dipped Madeleines. They were sooo good. I wouldn't come here for dinner though. They only have a potato skewer thing which looks better than it actually tastes. They also have a Thai food place, hot dogs and pupusas. That's it! Even though I don't eat hot dogs, the vendors at the hot dog/ falafel /agua fresca stand are super nice. They also get bonus points for having refreshing pineapple and watermelon agua Fresca. @ 6 pm the managers Booth was holding raffles. The first raffle winner won lemons. Yes, lemons!!! On the way out I saw bread stands, which had a lot of nice flavored breads for $5. They had a pumpkin loaf, lemon Loaf and carrot cake. I'm still kicking myself for not buying one. The pie dude I was looking for is now gone Ohhhhh and they have a good peanut and kettle corn stand. A small bag of kettle corn is priced $4 and it's a really nice size bag. read more

Underwhelming and nothing special. Tried three different food stalls and none of them were great: potato on a stick (undercooked), momos (not much flavor), and macarons (not much flavor & inconsistent meringue). High prices and low quality. Missed opportunity. Hard to find parking and shaded seating was all taken up, despite small number of people. Probably won't go back. read more

Small, 3 produce stands, citrus vendor who juices, not any certified Organic when we went... mostly no sprays though and several We Grow What we Sell signs. When asked Farmers/vendors said they "protect the bees by not spraying", or "only use 'chicken poop'" and allows hens and roosters to roam and eat bugs....one used "fertilizers from cows and chickens".. Lots of food choices: Thai, kettle korn, bread, fruit smoothies, organic waffles & jam...and others. Won't likely return until there are some more sustainably grown or certified organic or growers who follow permaculture practices. A few gift booths... read more

Not much fresh produce for sale. Mostly food-type booths for lunch, etc. no crafts or boutique-type items. We like a larger variety of things. The strawberries looked nice. read more

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. http://www.yelp.com/biz/bigmistas-barbecue-el-segundo#hrid:t-ZVpEun6WhqP35yuMT8CQ read more

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 read more

This isn't a farmers market. This is a prepared food paradise!!! Just rolled through hoping to find tomatoes...at half past 2pm, not long before they opened, I only saw two booths, getting setup with some vegetables (beets, cabbage, kale...not very seasonal...) and lots of strawberries. The rest of the booths are various prepared foods, some flowers, and a well staffed information booth. I hear there's a peanut person here that does roasted peanuts, if that's what you are looking for! Also saw waffles, a chicken rotisserie truck, crepes, pickles, hummus, and a ton of pita chips...everything looked and smelled delicious but it's not going in my reusable bag!!! I'm going to admit that I'm let down by this farmers market. I was hoping I could do some grocery shopping midweek and purchase direct from farmers, but for now I'll just continue to curse the road block on the way home...and go to a big box market. read more

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...:) read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 ( http://bigmista.com/ ) 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 =) read more

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:) read more

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... read more

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. read more

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! read more

This is a really small market, but it is convenient on Thursdays from 3-7. It is great to stop by on the way home and be ready with fresh food for the weekend. They have a little bit of everything too: Hummus/Pita stand (really good stuff, not too garlicy) Salsa place Fresh produce (about 5 stands) Fresh flowers Kettle corn and a bit more . . . It is quick and easy to get through and has reasonable prices. I spent $18 for fresh flowers, asparagus, carrots (delicious), a handful of tomatoes, fresh cilantro, garlic, and three lovely red bell peppers. Downtown El Segundo is cute too; you can stop and have dinner after you visit. read more

Not a huge market, but some excellent vendors! I just moved to El Segundo and stopped by last Thursday toward the end (around 6:40). I scored some yellow onions & asparagus for cheaper than trader joe's and some very yummy olives, hummus and feta from the Greek dude. I was eying all of the food booths and will have to come back this Thursday for dinner! While it's not the largest Farmer's Market out there, it's within walking distance of my house and has some nice options. Plus, you can stop by Su Casa for $2 off Cadillacs afterward! read more

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.

El Segundo Farmer's Market - Not a peanut girl but these are great!! - Farmers Market Near Me - El Segundo, California

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. read more

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. read more
