We arrived towards the end of the market as they were starting to pack up and put things away. Still there were plenty of vendors still there offering their goods but slowly shifting and packing up. It's located in a parking lot behind the main strip and in a residential area. All street parking but it tends to be pretty easy. There's a bakery vendors that I've had a few times but they do sell out quite fast. Their fresh baked bread and sweets are one not to be missed. This visit, they weren't there in their usual section so I assume they were pretty much sold out fast. Loads of fresh organic vendors with all their goods. As it was summer, there were so many vendors with amazing tomatoes. Heirlooms, grape tomatoes and so all. Everything all looked so fresh and I'm sure it was straight from the farm that morning. Also loads of other vendors selling their homemade goods, like soap to candles to everything in between. Majority of the vendors are fresh produce so you know you'll be picking up fresh farm products. Also fresh flowers are always a must when a visiting the farmers market. Can't forget the fresh berries and fruits. Doesn't scream summer without all the fresh berries straight of the plant. Regardless what you're looking for or not, I'm sure you'll always leave with plenty of fresh things at this market. Their items are always so fresh. A must whenever I'm Ojai. It's always on a Sunday morning. read more

First timer to this Farmers market. I usually go to the Oxnard Harbor one but it was nice to see what Ojai has to offer. There were a lot of flower, veggies and fruit vendors. Prices are a bit more than Oxnard prices but I do think it's great to support local especially seeing the quality difference between local vendors and grocery stores. $13 for eggs still seems a bit steep for recovering from the egg hiked prices where they are now back to $6-7 in grocery stores. There was a vendor that sells sourdough breads and she was quite popular has she always had a line. Caroline's preservative jams are amazing in flavor and quality. I also appreciated that Centri Coffee was there so that I could buy some whole beans. read more

Ojai Farmers' Market - I can only buy farmers market juice! - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Ojai, California

Not great, but it will do for quality entertainment if you are on vacation. Prices are CRAZY! $17 for a few oranges. We drove down to Fillmore and got an entire box for $4. Strawberries were okay. Date guy was kinda rude and would only give certain people samples. They weren't all that good, so I guess that is why. Overall the atmosphere is a little snobby and not like the welcoming markets in Santa Barbara or Monterey Bay. The whole town seems a little annoyed in my opinion. read more

This was one of my favorite farmers market. I bought a lot of things my first trip. So I had been wanting to go back, it's just a bit of a drive. This time I felt like they didn't have as many products that I wanted. I always regretted not buying this beautiful wood bowl that this woodworker created. I was hoping to find it. He wasn't there this time. I also hate when people don't take credit cards. I would have bought so much more if they accepted credit cards. I don't like carrying a lot of cash around these days. Their loss.... They would have sold more. I did purchase some beautiful produce and herbs. I bought some edible flowers. One stand had delicious looking bread loaves. I can't wait to try it. Hopefully this farmers market gains some new items. read more

Looking for a little Sunday morning activity and landed on visiting the Ojai farmers market! A lovely little market with tons of options from produce to fresh meats and seafood. Crafts and hands made items scattered about and a mobile coffee truck all decked out this mall yet might space. The vendors all welcoming and friendly as well as everyone in the market itself. Parking is iffy due to the location but on a nice summer morning the walk about is absolutely perfect. After you have tons of amazing little shops just a short walk away to continue the venture and spaces to grab a bite if you desire. One of my favorite farmers markets to date! read more

Great farmers market with lots of fresh fruit, vegetables & flowers. There's lots of snacks with free samples, popsicles, nuts, honey, olive oil, food, performers, arts & crafts. We bought dried freeze apples (crunchy & sweet without added sugar), lemon flavor pistachios & fresh squeezed blood orange/tangerine juice. Some vendors took Apple Pay, some were cash only or Venmo. read more

Though this Farmer's Market is small it is nice and quaint I just went on a bad day rain rain rain.....As most farmer's markets they are regional and many of the growers happen to be very close by to this one as well. They had awesome Chocolate from For Pete's Sake and a larger variety of mushrooms from a mushroom guy than I normally see as well. Most of the normal stuff that are at other Farmers' Markets as well.... If it wasn't so far away I would probably go there again.... I ended up buying a bag of fresh lentils and wheatberries....I never saw this at a Farmer's Market before but realized that my local one has it as well....So much better than buying dried lentils and other legumes....Thanks for helping me discover this! read more

Compact but efficient, this Farmers Market doesn't have a ton of overlap between vendors. There are a handful of farm stands, largely with different fruits and veggies. I love the artisanal food vendors, too. If you're coming from out of town, make a day of it and plan to have lunch somewhere local, too. read more

The farmers market was pretty small but we got some nice fruit like grapes to take back with us. I did expect a little larger of a market but it's still cute and has nice options. read more

I hadn't been here for years, so it was a pleasant surprise to see it going strong. Lots of organic veggies, fruit, woven bags, oils, and a nice, easy-going crowd. I parked a few blocks away, avoiding busy Matilija Street. Ojai is such a pleasant place to stroll, and passing by fresh fruit and vegetables is an added bonus to get to Ojai's arcade where all the shops and restaurants are located. Restrooms are available near the back entrance of Rain's Department Store. The show is over by noon, about the time all shops open on a Sunday. read more

This lovely small FM offers gorgeous displays of organic veggies, stunning flowers, homemade goods and live music. It's feels a bit like being transplanted to the late 60's, with hippie-like folks all about. And who can't resist the woman with the big horn ? Lots of of fun to stroll through. read more

They have the advantage of proximity to farms so the produce is pristine. Also a good selection of pork and poultry products.

There's a strawberry vendor there with the best strawberries I've had. Ripe, sweet, amazing. I haven't seen them at any other farmers market and I regret not buying more because that basket of strawberries were gone before I even left the market. I guess I could provide more context here by saying I've spent plenty of days in Ojai but never stuck around long enough for the farmer's market they have on Sunday and so I made it a point to book a stay here just to try it out. In addition to the berries I picked up the Santa Barbara pistachio company had a lot of unique flavors and I picked up a bag or four. It's a pretty big lot as well so it's not going to be a quick 5-minute lap there's definitely vendors worth checking out, try a few samples and then buy a bunch of strawberries-yes, I'm pretty obsessed with them. read more

The place to be on Sunday morning in Ojai. The most beautiful produce and other fresh items.

Great selections of foods,drinks,fruits and vegetables.All vendors were pretty chill as well. Very few only accepted cash and not cards/venmo. Overall a great experience read more

We stopped by on a Sunday when in Ojai and did not regret it! The vendors were so nice and generous. We bought grapes and they were so crisp and delicious. When we purchased them, the lady gave us more grapes for free. We bought dried dates and the guy was so nice and let us try all the dates. They were delicious, but because of him we definitely bought more. He even threw in extras for us. I would highly recommend anyone there on a Sunday to go! Such a fun, bustling, and friendly farmers market! read more

They always has the best selectio of awesome, organic fresh produce & fruits! Its Ojai's hidden gem on Thursdays. Children can play freely too on the grass. It's very well managed & I have never been disappointed! Fresh produce & berries stay fresh for a couple weeks, unlike store-bought Organics that don't stay fresh long. Worth the time & money we'll spent! read more

Great cute small town charming farmers market! I liked how well organized everything was, everyone in line, respecting the social distancing and wearing masks. Very easy to navigate because it is all properly market where is the entrance, the exit and the path to follow. I got some nice bread and olive oils and that was a breakfast by itself. The flowers are wild and amazing, and you will also find a variety of edible flowers. Worth a visit if you are in Ojai on Sunday morning. read more

Great selection of organic fruit and veggies. Highlights of heritage honey and the greasy made bread. Loved the atmosphere.

Mahhh... it's ok. I mean if your in the area or have happened to find yourself in Ojai, the open market is worth a quick stop. Park the 'Hot Rod' in the local neighbourhood and it's a short & casual walk to the market. Prices are a little above average. Vendors are mostly all local. Veggies & Fruits are what you'd expect from seasonal harvesting, which is a positive, yet lacks a little diversity. Ladies, put on that Zoro / Stevie Nicks hat, splash yourself with some pachouli vibes & bring about $60 to spend. Because we are going to Ojai Farmers Market!! read more

I read many reviews about this farmers market and decided to try. Loved it! Got fresh bread, fruits, dates, and my favorite, a Summer Quiche from Caroline's Marmalade that was superb! Too bad it seemed that few vendors didn't show up as it was the Thanksgiving weekend. Super recommended! read more

Ojai's Sunday market has long been one of my favorite farmers markets, even when I did not live in the area. When I did move back to Ojai it became my weekly market. During the last couple of years there has been a fluctuation in the number of vendors some( I assume due to staffing situation and possibly Covid) Seeming to be gone for good others With varying attendance from week to week. Still overall there are a fair number of mostly local farmers with a good mix of local and seasonal products. You can get honey ,orange juice,mushrooms , Papayas, Gluten-free and non-gluten-free breads, chicken eggs,duck eggs, meats in addition to your standard fruits and veggies you would expect to find at a local Southern California farmers market. The tamale cart is no longer here, the wonderful Berry Farm, Pudwill Berry Farm no longer comes to the market-but many of our other local farmers have begun growing Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. Of course I could go on and on with the other items but I think you get the idea... Several of our vendors grow beautiful flowers and make bouquets that are colorful and unique and usually last at least the week! read more

This is one of the best farmer's markets I've been to in southern CA!! There are a wonderful variety of vendors that are all extremely friendly!! Nothing can beat a sunny Sunday morning walking around beautiful flowers, fresh fruit, and Ojai pottery! I was very shocked at how big the farmers market was!! I walked through it twice and it took me over an hour to just explore and take my time. Most vendors take other types of payment besides cash but it's good to bring some cash if you plan on going! Enjoy! read more

Used to be great. Now the LA tourists swarm it. Like you came to our town to get vegetables? Get lost! And what happened to the amazing soap stand?? You replaced it with a bougie overpriced bread stand from LA only rich people can afford? Ugh. So sick of the pandering to these annoying tourists trying to take over and even MOVE here read more

I've read for years about Ojai Farmers' Market and I was looking forward to check it out. Since it takes places only on Sundays, between 9 am - 1 pm (rain or shine!) and I didn't have a chance to be in Ojai on a Sunday till recently, my curiosity was getting higher and higher. The market spreads behind the Arcade, it's big (street parking around), fun to stroll and browse. I surely wasn't disappointed, this is one of the best Farmers' Markets I've been to. It has a nice vibe, there are street performing singing, playing instruments around, which is pretty cool. The vendors aren't just local Ojai farmers and artisans, they came from areas around: Ventura, Oxnard, Carpinteria, so you have a variety of merchandise: local olive oils, lavender products - soaps, lotions, honey, fruits (beautiful strawberries), local citrus in season at great prices, eggs, bakery items, jewelry, wonderful selection of vegetables- just about everything you can think about, cheese, Mexican food, Middle Eastern cuisine (fresh hummus), pottery, flowers and so on. The merchandise is displayed beautifully, very attractive to your eye, the vendors are nice and chatty, generous with their samples, the locals are strolling, shopping, interacting with everyone. It's a nice atmosphere all around, great place to shop locally, get high quality products. Very inviting market. If you live in Ojai, I'm sure you shop here, if you visit, this is a great place to start your day (especially on a sunny one), enjoy the local charm, laid back atmosphere, shop for a souvenir, a little something to take back. This market has that nice European style combined with the Ojai laid back vibe. Great combination! read more

This was suggested to us as a great place to grab lunch but there are basically ZERO vendors that sell lunch food/meals, etc. This was a farmer's market with tons of produce and gift shopping, but no "eateries" like in Los Angeles that sell almost every cuisine you can think of. Still, it was fun to look around. The best was the poetry woman who would write you a custom poem on the spot on her type writer and you could give her whatever amount you wanted. I did not buy a poem cause the line was so long, but I loved the idea. I also tried out some olive oils which my friend bought. read more

This farmers market is the best. You feel like you are walking through a little town movie set when here. All the venders are so friendly and all fruits and veggies are so fresh and delicious! They have stands that have foods for all diets, anything from vegetarian, to vegan, to gluten free. Other then food stands they have handmade soaps, baskets, candles, musicians that match the setting, and even a free hug booth! They also have fresh flower booths with gorgeous flowers and plants. Anytime I am near Ojai on Sunday I will come to this farmers market! read more

I'd give this little market 10 stars if that were possible! There's something for everyone, flowers like you've never seen before, papayas that taste like Hawaii and non GMO at that and an assortment of organic and conventional growers. Most important takeaway info from this review... Get there early for best selection and don't cry if you choose to sleep in, you'll miss the good stuff . read more

One of the most well rounded farmers markets I've been to. Some of the prices are a bit high but overall you can find almost everything you need here (including a hug). What can you get in the month of May? Almost everything. Eggs, honey, chard, lettuce, pistachios, sprouts, avocados, lemons, oranges, nuts, strawberries, raspberries, blueberry, carrots, cucumbers, oranges, tangerines, peppers and so much more. You can also get some goodies like Pies, popcorn and Popsicles. Did I mention hugs? Other things like lotions, lavender, soaps and cut flowers. There was a guy playing a harmonica out in the front for entertainment. I am fairly spoiled having grown up in Santa Cruz (really good farmers markets) and now living in San Francisco. In the city there are many farmers markets almost every day of the week. If I need something in particular I go to a specific farmers market. The Ojai farmers market is such a well rounded market it can stand up to the big ones in the city. I could survive is what I'm saying, and survive well. The people are lucky to have such a wonderful resource. read more

We visited this market every Sunday in April, 2022, and found it to be a great market. There's a nice mix of vendors -- vegetables, fruit, nut growers and some prepared foods and bakeries. I really appreciated the vegetables and herbs at Earthtrine Farm; citrus and avocados from Churchill Orchards; sourdough from Ojai Rotie; and the bread and (especially) the excellent pasta from Roan Valley Farms. There were plenty of other great choices, too. Most of Ojai seems to show up at the market, insuring a lively crowd and great energy. read more

Great variety, nice displays and vegetables you don't see everywhere, make this a must, when in Ojai on a Sunday.

Walked down to this farmers market on a beautiful day in Ojai. It was right after the holiday so many of the stands were not there. But I was surprised at how large it was anyways! There were many fruit and veggie stands all with great low prices. The colors were magical! And as a Registered Dietitian, I was in RD heaven. "Make your plate beautiful". There was also some stands selling skin creams, oils, vegan baked goods and basket wear. read more

It's a bustling farmer's market with beautiful vegetables and fruit for sale. The oranges and avocados looked extremely ripe and ready for purchase and consumption. There was a guy with a free hugs sign. The scent of the booth selling lavender was amazing. I felt like I was passing through a lavender field. I was hoping to see more food options, but we only saw a tamales selling area. 9am - 1pm Sundays read more

I randomly came across this farmers market while driving home from a weekend trip. I immediately turned around to check it out, and I'm so glad I did! A ton of people were walking around with bags and bags of goodies and it took a little while to find parking. I was thrilled when I saw just how big the place was! There are so many goodies to choose from! The most beautiful flowers, tons of different veggies/fruits, bread, beauty products and I loved the man standing with a "Free hugs" sign! :D I ended up buying tons of oranges, tomatoes, two different types of avocados, walnuts and strawberries. Everyone we bought from were so nice and all told us where each item was from. The strawberries were SO good, as well as the oranges! Currently waiting for the avocados to ripen :D Wish this place was near where I lived! I'd come here every week! read more
