Fresh, organic fruits and veggies at the Manhattan Beach Farmers MarketEvery Tuesday between 12 and 4 pm, locals in the beach city of Manhattan Beach converge at 13th Street between Valley Drive and Morningside Drive, for the Manhattan Beach Farmers Market.

The Manhattan Beach Farmers Market features vendors with a wide variety of products:

  • Fresh, sometimes-organic, fruits and vegetables
  • Fresh bakery goods
  • Seafood
  • Gourmet desserts
  • Mediterranean foods, like pita chips, hummus, dolmads, etc.
  • Fresh cut flowers
  • Starter plants for gardening
  • All-natural, essential oil beauty products
  • Fresh squeezed juices and pupusas
  • Freshly made French crepes
  • Rotisserie chicken
  • And still more...

Musical entertainment at the Manhattan Beach Farmers MarketAnd for the little ones, there is an musical entertainer to keep them occupied and safe from boredom, while their parents do their shopping.

Many young families with kids make the Manhattan Beach Farmers Market a weekly event.  Local workers from nearby offices also make a stop here for a scrumptious, impromptu picnic (how do pita chips, hummus, dolmads, and fresh squeezed juice sound?).

The popularity of the Manhattan Beach Farmers Market will ensure its longevity.

Morning Tiffany - Your farmer's market has some beautiful looking veggies. The desserts look good too. However what is a papusas?

To see what a papusa is (I can't explain it better than this website), visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupusa.  I can tell you that they smell AWESOME when they are being freshly cooked.  I have yet to try one though...  Very soon I suspect  :)

Tiffany - AWESOME thread.  Thanks so much for posting this to AR Foodaholics!!  The pics are great.  I just looked at that papusa thing and man does that sound good.  Any type of bread or carbohydrate stuffed with cheese or other yummy fillings is always of interest to me. I love the fresh produce, herbs and baked goods of a Farmer's Market.  The edible art booth would definitely get some attention from me as well.

If I get a chance I'll do a photo tour of our local Farmer's Market here in Gainesville, FL!!

Great post.  It is nice to see other areas support local open markets.  We have one in Salem on Saturday mornings that just opened up again
