Irvine

The Saturday Farmers Market in Irvine is one of eleven Orange County farmers markets run by the Orange County Farm Bureau, which has served the county's farmers since 1917.

Tustin

A Wednesday certified farmers market in Old Town Tustin, set up at El Camino Real and Third Street — not to be confused with the city's monthly Sunset Market evening event held on the same corner.

A weekly farmers market set up along the Spurgeon Promenade in downtown Santa Ana, Orange County's county seat, with vendor stalls lining the pedestrian walkway off North Spurgeon Street.

San Juan Capistrano

Located at Yorba Street and Camino Capistrano, between Camino Capistrano and El Camino Real, this certified market runs seasonally from spring through fall. Vendors sell the standard certified-market lineup — organic produce, baked goods, cheese, eggs, seafood, and cut flowers — with credit cards accepted at most stalls. Weekly hours vary enough by source that it's worth calling ahead before a special trip.

Garden Grove

Set up at Main Street and Garden Grove Boulevard, this certified market brings produce vendors to central Garden Grove under the same Local Harvest Farmers Markets banner that runs the Wilmington market in the Harbor Area.

Anaheim

The Downtown Anaheim Certified Farmers' Market runs Thursdays from 11 AM to 3 PM on Center Street, hosted by the Downtown Anaheim Association. It anchors a year-round calendar of community events in the district that's also home to Anaheim Ice and the MUZEO museum.

Anaheim

Farmers Park is a market on South Anaheim Boulevard in downtown Anaheim, Orange County — a city founded by German immigrant vintners in 1857, before citrus, and later Disneyland, reshaped it.

Anaheim

Downtown Anaheim's certified market runs every Thursday on the Center Street Promenade, organized by the Downtown Anaheim Association. It mixes produce stalls with prepared food — tacos, tamales, empanadas — alongside handmade jewelry, home goods, and skincare vendors. The market accepts EBT and Market Match, and two hours of parking validate free in Structures 3 through 5.

Downtown Anaheim's certified farmers market sets up on the Center Street Promenade every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Downtown Anaheim Association runs it alongside neighboring anchors like Anaheim Ice and the MUZEO museum, making it part of a walkable strip of shops and restaurants rather than a stand-alone parking-lot market. Vendor applications go through the Association's office, open weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Placentia

Placentia Certified Farmers' Market sets up on East Yorba Linda Boulevard in this small Orange County city between Fullerton and Yorba Linda. Vendor list, market day, and hours aren't confirmed online.

Huntington Beach

Every Friday, from noon until dusk, vendors line Pier Plaza at Pacific Coast Highway for this year-round certified market. California growers bring seasonal produce, and stalls round out with nuts, breads, honey, flowers, pastries, and caramel corn. The oceanfront setting makes it as much a stroll as a shopping trip, drawing surfers, tourists, and downtown Huntington Beach regulars alike.

Fullerton

Downtown Fullerton's Thursday evening market runs 4 to 8:30 p.m., April through September, at 125 E. Wilshire Ave. It mixes farm stands with food trucks, a beer garden, live local bands, and a splash fountain for kids — closer to a weekly street festival than a quiet produce run. Organized through the City of Fullerton and the downtown business district.

Brea

Brea Farmers' Market sets up Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m. year-round at 145 S. State College Blvd., sponsored by the Orange County Farm Bureau. Vendors bring fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts, honey, spices, baked goods, and handmade soap. Because the Farm Bureau runs it, the growers here are vetted by the same organization that represents actual Orange County agriculture.

Anaheim

A farmers market on West Orange Avenue on Anaheim's west side, serving Orange County shoppers outside the Disneyland resort corridor.

Buena Park

Buena Park Farmers' Market runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot at La Palma and Stanton avenues, near the old Sears at Buena Park Downtown Mall. It's a compact market, fresh vegetables, fruit, and other produce alongside prepared foods and local crafts, without the sprawl of the bigger Orange County markets nearby.

Corona

Corona's certified market sets up on North Main Street, inside the city's historic Grand Boulevard traffic circle — the same 3-mile loop that hosted international auto races in 1913, 1914, and 1916. Corona was once known as the Lemon Capital of the World, and Riverside County's citrus history still shapes the area.

San Clemente

Sunday mornings, 9am to 1pm, year-round, rain or shine — this certified market spreads across several blocks of Avenida Del Mar between Ola Vista and Calle Seville. It's agriculture-and-food only; craft vendors aren't permitted, which keeps the stalls focused on produce, fresh fish, bread, tamales, and flowers. It's one of the more consistently reviewed certified markets in South Orange County.

Chino Hills

Chino Hills Farmers' Market sets up Wednesdays from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. (later in summer) at The Shoppes at Chino Hills, rain or shine. Heritage Wellness Collective, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, runs the market and accepts CalFresh/EBT at the vendor tables. Text JOIN to 833-217-1593 for weekly vendor and schedule updates.

Seal Beach

Seal Beach's certified farmers market sets up weekly on Seal Beach Boulevard, a short walk from Old Town's Main Street shops. It's a small coastal Orange County market — one block of stands rather than a sprawling lot — built for local produce and a handful of prepared-food vendors. Confirm the current week's hours before heading over, since listed schedules conflict between sources.

Los Alamitos

Food Finders has spent 37 years rescuing surplus food around Los Alamitos and routing it to food-insecure communities through 280 nonprofit partner agencies. Its Food 4 Kids program feeds children at 47 Long Beach-area schools, and its Backyard Harvest program gleans produce that would otherwise rot in yards and fields. In its most recent year, the group moved 15.6 million pounds of rescued food.

Run by Harbor Area Farmers' Markets, the same South Coast Interfaith Council project behind the Downtown Long Beach market, this Southeast Long Beach location gives Marina Drive-area residents a certified produce market that accepts WIC, EBT, and CalFresh with Market Match benefits.

Riverside

This certified market runs Fridays, 10am to 2pm, year-round, on the grounds of Kaiser Permanente's Riverside Medical Center at 10800 Magnolia Avenue. Local growers and vendors sell fresh, seasonal produce to hospital patients, staff, and nearby Riverside neighborhoods every week without a seasonal break.

Long Beach

This market operates on the Cal State Long Beach campus along Bellflower Boulevard, geared toward students, faculty, and staff rather than the surrounding residential neighborhood.

Long Beach

The Long Beach Farmers' Market is part of Harbor Area Farmers Markets, which runs certified farmers markets across the harbor area in partnership with the South Coast Interfaith Council. Markets are open rain or shine year-round, closing only for Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, with online ordering direct from California farmers.

Pomona

A California Certified Farmers' Market held in downtown Pomona's Thomas Plaza. Certification means every vendor is required to sell only produce or goods they grow or make themselves, not resell — the standard that separates a true farmers market from a produce stand.

Norwalk

Ten-plus certified farm stands, including a plant nursery, set up Tuesdays from 9am to 1pm at Alondra and Pioneer Boulevards, year-round. The market has deep roots — it ran on Alondra Boulevard for more than 30 years before relocating to Norwalk City Hall in fall 2020. Beyond produce, shoppers find packaged and hot food vendors and a handful of local artisans each week.

Riverside

Sunday market in the parking lot near Barnes & Noble at the Galleria at Tyler mall in Riverside, roughly 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., run by Coastal Pacific Markets. Certified growers sell fruit, vegetables, and prepared foods alongside local crafts, with mall parking making it an easier stop than a squeezed-in downtown market.

Ontario

Southland Farmers' Market Association runs this Wednesday market in the courtyard of Kaiser Permanente's Ontario hospital, spring through fall. Vendors bring seasonal produce and artisanal goods to the medical campus at Vineyard Avenue, and the market accepts SNAP benefits. It's one of nine certified markets SFMA operates across Southern California, several tied to hospital campuses.

Pomona

Inland Valley Hope Partners, a local nonprofit, sponsors this Saturday market at Pearl Street and Garey Avenue — 9am to 1:30pm, year-round, rain or shine. The mission is explicitly about access: bringing fresh produce from family farms to Pomona Valley residents, backed by EBT, WIC, Senior FMNP, and market-match programs that stretch grocery budgets further than most markets bother to support.

Whittier

A certified farmers market on Philadelphia Street in Uptown Whittier's historic shopping district, in the citrus and avocado country of southeastern Los Angeles County.

A neighborhood farmers market in La Puente, in the San Gabriel Valley east of Los Angeles, serving the unincorporated Valinda community with fresh produce stands.

Claremont

The Claremont Farmers & Artisans Market has run every Sunday for more than 25 years. It's one of the longer-standing markets in Los Angeles County, organized by The Claremont Forum, and it pairs local growers with artisans selling handmade goods next to the produce stalls. The market runs year-round from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Claremont Village.

Claremont

La Verne

The Old Town La Verne Business Association runs this year-round market at 2343 D Street, a rare indoor setup rather than the usual open-air stalls. It draws a loyal local following — its Facebook page has topped 1,500 followers — for fresh produce, baked goods, and specialty gourmet items from regional growers. Running indoors means it isn't weather-dependent, which is unusual for a Southern California certified market.

West Covina

A farmers market on Glendora Avenue in West Covina, in the San Gabriel Valley east of Los Angeles.

San Dimas Farmers Market runs Wednesdays, 4 to 8:30 p.m., from April through September at 245 E Bonita Ave. Advocates for Healthy Living, a local nonprofit, runs it as a certified producer market — the farm stands are selling what they actually grew, not resold produce. Expect prepared foods and food vendors alongside the crop stands, plus a small run of arts, crafts, and health and beauty vendors filling out the block.

Upland

A certified farmers market in downtown Upland at 2nd Avenue and 9th Street, in the citrus-growing belt at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in San Bernardino County.

A nonprofit network running seven certified markets across Los Angeles County since 1980 — Monday in South Gate, Wednesday in Huntington Park, Thursday in Bixby Knolls, Friday in downtown Long Beach, Saturday in Cerritos, and Sunday at the Long Beach Marina. All produce is California-grown, and EBT, WIC, and CalFresh Market Match are accepted.

Downey

This market sets up in the courtyard between buildings C and D at Kaiser Permanente's Orchard Medical Offices on Imperial Highway. It's a small, patient-and-staff-facing produce stand rather than a destination market, geared toward Downey Kaiser members grabbing fresh fruit and vegetables between appointments.

Riverside

A food hub listing tied to Riverside Unified School District's nutrition services, at an industrial-area address in Riverside, California. No verified details on this specific hub's operations or hours turned up in current research.

Riverside

Riverside is where California's navel orange industry began. Eliza Tibbets planted budded trees from Brazil here in the 1870s, and the Parent Navel Orange Tree still stands behind a fence near a major downtown intersection. This certified market runs on Arlington Avenue, a stop for growers from the Inland Empire's remaining citrus and produce farms.

The Downtown Long Beach Farmers' Market operates year-round every Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on The Promenade north between 3rd and 5th Streets. Run by Harbor Area Farmers Markets, it accepts EBT, Market Match, and WIC.

Part of the Harbor Area Farmers' Markets network, a project of the South Coast Interfaith Council that has run Long Beach-area markets since the early 1980s. The Downtown market accepts WIC, EBT, and CalFresh, with Market Match doubling the value of CalFresh dollars spent on produce.

Paramount

Paramount Farmers' Market sets up on Downey Avenue in this small, historically industrial Los Angeles County city wedged between Compton and Bellflower along the LA River corridor. Vendor list, market day, and hours aren't confirmed online.

Sunday market at 665 Artesia Blvd. in Long Beach, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., spring through fall. It's a straightforward neighborhood market — locally sourced produce and artisan goods, without the food-truck sprawl of some of Long Beach's bigger weekend markets.

Canyon Lake

Canyon Lake Certified Farmers' Market has run every Sunday for more than 17 years at Canyon Lake Towne Center, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., rain or shine. It's a certified market, meaning the growers selling produce actually grew it themselves rather than reselling from a wholesaler. Vendors also bring fresh groceries, prepared goods, and specialty items like mushrooms.

Wilmington

Known locally as the Heart of the Harbor market, this certified stand sits on L Street between Avalon Boulevard and Marine Avenue in Wilmington, serving the Port of Los Angeles-adjacent neighborhood with fresh produce.
