Simi Valley

Simi Valley's certified market runs Fridays, 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., year-round in the Civic Center Plaza lot next to TGI Friday's. Coastal Pacific Markets manages the vendor roster, and the midday Friday slot pulls a different crowd than a typical weekend market — city workers and retirees more than families. Produce and baked goods anchor the stalls, with kids' activities mixed in most weeks. EBT and WIC are both accepted.

Moorpark

Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark runs a working u-pick operation with a rotating seasonal lineup that includes strawberries and roma tomatoes, plus an Animal Center with weekend animal shows and tractor-drawn wagon rides included with admission.

Open daily 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (5 p.m. starting November 1), closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.

Birthday parties and school field trips run alongside the regular pick-your-own season each year, drawing families from across Ventura County and the greater Los Angeles area.

Canoga Park

Orcutt Ranch Horticulture Center preserves 24 acres of oil pioneer William Orcutt's original 210-acre estate in West Hills, run today by LA's Recreation and Parks Department. The 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival ranch house sits among citrus orchards and rose gardens, with a coast live oak measuring 32 feet around and estimated at 700 years old. The grounds host public fruit-picking days and event rentals for weddings.

Alik Shulman grows dozens of dragon fruit varieties on his Moorpark orchard, an hour outside Los Angeles. Visitors can taste different types on-site and buy fruit, cuttings, and rooted plants to start their own. What began as a personal collection has grown into a working orchard that draws rare-fruit growers from around Southern California.

Moorpark

Apricot Lane Farms is also the home of the award-winning, critically acclaimed feature documentary The Biggest Little Farm. Directed by filmmaker and farmer John Chester, the film is a testament to the complexity of nature, following John, his wife Molly and their dog Todd on an epic odyssey to attempt to farm within a reawakening ecosystem. The film was released theatrically in North America by NEON in 2019, and has since screened in over 275 theaters across the US, and has been released in mor

The Westlake Village Farmers Market runs Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 2797 Agoura Road, mixing local produce stalls with prepared food and artisan crafts. It's operated by California Certified Farmers Markets, which has run Southern California markets since 2000. The market is open year-round rather than seasonally.

Chatsworth

The Valley Hive bills itself as the only beekeeping supply shop in the San Fernando Valley, selling raw, unfiltered local honey alongside hive tools and gear. A live observation hive and honey tastings run during shop hours, and Sunday mornings bring a hands-on beekeeping class for anyone who wants to open a hive themselves. It reads more like a working apiary with a counter than a typical retail shop.

Agoura Hills

AZ-Ranch is the Zadeh family's certified organic farm and nursery, built in the Santa Monica Mountains at Agoura Hills in 2000 and rebuilt stronger after losing most of the farm to the 2018 wildfires. The family grows organic figs, microgreens, and seasonal fruits and vegetables, produces raw honey plus duck and chicken eggs, added a second organic farm in Camarillo in 2022, and sells at local farmers markets and grocery stores (the working farm itself isn't open to the public).

Calabasas

Mission

Bennett's Honey Farm sits on Honey Lane off Highway 126 in Fillmore, where a wall of jars holds varietal honeys — avocado, blackberry, sage, wildflower — pulled from Ventura County's Heritage Valley. The facility runs on solar power, and the shop also carries cinnamon honey, honey barbecue sauce, candles, and soap. It's a family-owned roadside stop, not a tasting room with a script.

AZ-Ranch is a California grower with no listed crops or contact details on file yet.

Calabasas

Old Town Calabasas Farmers' Market operates on Calabasas Road in the city's small historic core, near the 19th-century Leonis Adobe ranch house museum. Vendor list, market day, and contact details aren't confirmed online.

Thousand Oaks

Running since 1991, this is one of the two largest farmers markets in Ventura County — Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., year-round, rain or shine, in the east parking lot at The Oaks Shopping Center. The Ventura County Certified Farmers' Market Association runs it alongside a dozen other county markets, with meat, herbs, honey, nuts, and juice vendors filling in around the produce stands.

Ventura County Certified Farmers' Markets has run since 1986 and now operates four weekly markets — Midtown Ventura on Wednesdays, Downtown Ventura on Saturdays, Thousand Oaks on Thursdays, and Santa Clarita on Sundays. Every vendor is a California family farmer approved by the county Agricultural Commissioner. Markets accept SNAP/EBT, WIC, and Market Match for eligible shoppers.

The CABRA Farmhouse runs goat yoga classes in Newbury Park, where a small herd mingles with participants mid-pose. Owner Alexia Serrano left a 22-year corporate career at Amgen to start the operation, which also sells handmade goat milk soaps and skincare. Sessions are outdoors and often sell out on weekends. It's less a working farm than a hands-on animal encounter, but the products on offer are genuinely farm-made.

Urban Fresh Farm operates in California, but no independent website, market listing, or news coverage was found to confirm what they grow, sell, or where visitors can find them.

Northridge

Coastal Pacific Markets runs this one as a Wednesday evening event, 5 to 9pm, from March through October at 9301 Tampa Ave — closer to a weekly street festival than a produce-only market. Alongside certified farm stands, expect food trucks, prepared meals, crafters, and live music, all built around a family-outing pitch rather than a quick grocery run. It closes for winter, so don't go looking for it in January.

Fillmore

This standard-gauge line was built in 1887 through the Santa Clara River Valley and later ran the Heritage Valley's scenic and murder-mystery passenger trains for decades. Public passenger excursions ended, and the operation now works primarily as a film and television train-equipment rental outfit. Reach the office in Santa Paula weekdays, 10am-6pm.

Fillmore

The Pumpkinliner and Christmas Tree Train were seasonal excursions on the Fillmore & Western Railway, the heritage line running through the Santa Clara River Valley that's also worked as a movie train for film and TV productions.

Topanga

Fridays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Topanga Community Center — a certified market with close to 40 vendors selling organic produce alongside vintage and handmade goods, six and a half miles up Topanga Canyon Boulevard past the Theatricum Botanicum. It functions as much as a canyon meeting point as a grocery run.

Fillmore

On-farm market on Old Telegraph Road in Fillmore selling pumpkins, strawberries, peaches, and honey from hives kept on the property. Look for the strawberry painted on top of the barn. There's a concessions stand, picnic tables, and school tours by arrangement.

Creation Family Farms operates in California under a regenerative approach; the farm's own site describes its current fields as being rested to let the soil food web rebuild before replanting. Specific crops and location weren't listed online at the time of this listing.

Northridge

This market operates on the Cal State Northridge campus in the San Fernando Valley, geared toward students, faculty, and staff rather than the surrounding residential neighborhood.

Eli's Bee Company is on Topanga Canyon Boulevard in Topanga, California, in the Santa Monica Mountains, chaparral and canyon terrain that beekeepers in the area work for sage and wildflower honey.

Valencia

Santa Clarita's certified market has run every Sunday since 1993 in Lot 5 of College of the Canyons' Valencia campus, 8 a.m. to noon, rain or shine. More than 40 California farms show up weekly, and produce is often picked 12 to 48 hours before it hits the table. Beyond crops, expect bakery stands, eggs, honey, cut flowers, potted plants, and meat vendors, with onsite food carts for breakfast while you shop.

This is the Sunday leg of the Santa Clarita Valley's certified market program, set up 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at 27426 Navigation Avenue in Valencia. Like its Newhall and Canyon Country counterparts, produce reaches vendor tables within 12 to 48 hours of harvest, and the market runs a SNAP/EBT match program for shoppers.

Newbury Park

Christ the King Lutheran Church runs this pumpkin patch as a fundraiser on West Kimber Drive in Newbury Park, selling pumpkins from around October 11 through the 31st.

Malibu

Malibu Farmers' Market sets up at the Malibu Civic Center on Civic Center Way, drawing on Southern California growers for produce, flowers, and prepared foods along the Malibu coast. It has long served as a weekend gathering point for the community.

Fillmore

Old Town Newhall Farmers Market runs Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 24500 Main Street, one of three certified markets the Santa Clarita Valley runs through the week. Produce typically reaches the stalls within 12 to 48 hours of picking, and vendors mix regional growers with bakers and seafood sellers. The market also runs a produce-donation program for local seniors.

Van Nuys

The Encino Farmers Market is operated by the nonprofit ONEgeneration as a community fundraiser, held at the organization's site at 17400 Victory Boulevard in Van Nuys. Market proceeds support ONEgeneration's senior and intergenerational programs. It runs year-round on Sunday mornings.

It stays a working farm first, market stand second.

Malibu Fig Ranch runs a weekly CSA farm box out of Point Dume, curated by longtime produce buyer Kerry Clasby, known online as the Intuitive Forager. Each box pulls organic, often biodynamic produce from small family farms across California — tomatoes, carrots, herbs and fruit picked close to delivery day. The farm shop at 29127 Pacific Coast Highway is open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Mondays.

Encino

Tapia Bros. Farm has sold fruit and vegetables from its Hayvenhurst Avenue stand in Encino since 1982, drawing shoppers off the 101 freeway for sweet corn, onions, zucchini, strawberries, chili peppers, and tomatoes grown on family land in the San Fernando Valley and near Lancaster. The stand becomes a pumpkin patch each fall and sells cut Christmas trees in winter. Every March it hosts Tomatomania, a heirloom tomato seedling sale.

Camarillo

A school food hub listing at an industrial-park address in Camarillo, California, in Ventura County's produce-growing region. No verified details on this specific hub's operations or partner schools turned up in current research.

Brucker Farms has grown seasonal fruits and vegetables in Camarillo since 1977, working the same Pancho Road ground for over four decades. The family operation employs about 20 people and moves produce through local and wholesale channels rather than a retail farm stand. Call ahead at (805) 482-7610 for current availability.

Encino

Tapia Brothers Corn Maze sits on Hayvenhurst Avenue in Encino, in the San Fernando Valley, a basin known today for subdivisions and shopping centers, though truck farms and orchards once covered much of the same ground.

Camarillo

Peace Lutheran's Pumpkin Patch & Fest runs seasonally on Loma Drive in Camarillo as a fundraiser tied to the church, a common model for pumpkin patches across Ventura County congregations each fall. No public listing confirms this year's dates or activities.

Mission Hills

Forneris Farms has grown produce in the same corner of the San Fernando Valley for more than a century, on Rinaldi Street in Mission Hills.

The family-owned operation runs a second location in Palmdale and partners with Sunburst Railbikes, which stops at the farm during guided tours through the valley.

Bryan Castro has run live bee removal and rescue out of Sherman Oaks since 2012, pulling honeybee colonies out of walls, trees, and attics across Los Angeles, Ventura County, Santa Barbara, and out to Bakersfield rather than exterminating them. Removal starts around $260. Calls go straight to cell phones and get answered any time, though service runs during daylight hours.
