Central Avenue Farmers Market

About

Central Avenue Farmers' Market has been operating since 2003 in South L.A., filling a critical gap in the neighborhood's food access. Open Thursdays year-round in the Central Avenue Constituent Services Center courtyard, the market draws regional farmers selling produce, eggs, honey, nuts, and dried fruits alongside food vendors offering fresh juices, pastries, tacos, and prepared goods. The market actively supports low-income shoppers through CalFresh EBT, WIC FMNP checks, and Market Match doubling programs. Beyond produce sales, it hosts nutrition education, cooking demos, and community workshops — a vendor mix that reflects deep neighborhood investment.
