L.A. Institution
This week marks the 75th Anniversary of the Original Farmers Market by the Grove. It was one of the first places I would visit when I moved to L.A. and the same spot my grandma bought her produce many years ago. It’s home to nearly every kind of ethnic food and a great place to people watch and witness a little bit of Los Angeles magic.

These are wonderful pictures! A side of L.A. most of us don’t ever see or know about. And vanilla dipped in chocolate sounds life a very wise choice
aaahh i love that place!! i cant believe its the 75th anniversary
ah! I was supposed to go to The Grove today, hence for the 75th Anniversary. I absoloutly love the Farmer’s Market & haven’t gone for weeks!
There’s so much selection of food it takes so much time for me to actually pick a place to eat in there hahah..
the pizza & seafood is awesome there
love the pics!
Gosh that looks so amazing right now. Your posts always inspire me to take more pictures when I’m out.
Another part of this city I have yet to see. It’s definately on my list!

So nice!!
I would love to go there some day!
Hmm… Ice-cream! yum.
I would definitely love to to visit L.A. one day.
Yum ♥
Beautiful photographs! Something so nostalgic and comforting about them
It’s funny how your blog turns into the perfect insider’s guide to LA… if I visit it someday, i’ll definitely have your blog in mind! By the way, if you visit Barcelona (Spain) saomeday, there’s a similar market to that one, called “La Boqueria”, which I highly recommend!

Good memories of the F.M., so delightful, and your pics are superb! When will you be coming up this way?
Yum, vanilla dipped in chocolate is one of my all time favorites. That and mint chocolate chip (the green one). Looks like a neat place with a lot of character!
oh my, looks so dreamy.
LOVE the last natural photo of you too, emily.
all these photos are lovely!
sweet!! i remember visiting the Farmer’s Market when i was in L.A.
Unfortunately, I was a 16 yr old silly teenager, so I didn’t appreciate it as much as I would today! Lovely green dress, btw.
I love farmer’s market – with all the fresh fruits and veggies and treats you will never find in supermarkets. Oh an dthe unbeatable prices of course!
I have yet to go to this farmers market. I usually go to the one in Santa Monica on Main Street (closer to Venice) and I love it! I been wanting to try this one and you post makes it look so awesome!
love the farmers market- did they have anything special going on for the anniversary? love the new orleans cajun place- usually get the fried chicken pecan salad, soooo yummy!
The look on your face, trying to pick out your ice cream, is the berries
Hope you have a great weekend!
It looks positively magical. But that might be your photographic skills at work!
farmer’s markets are the best–i’m definitely hitting up my local one this weekend.
I love the pic of the teas. It’s so vibrant and welcoming!
One of my favorite places! I love the crepes! Yum! Love the pictures. You give the city good press!
Too cute!! Seriously, your boy is *quite* the photographer — the photo of you picking out an ice cream flavor looks like it’s out of a cute magazine photo shoot! And all the other ones — such pretties!
great ice cream choice… Have a great weekend!

I love farmer’s markets, and this one looks especially wonderful. Good choice with the vanilla dip… yum!
butterscotch ice cream flavor? There’s such thing. We dont have that much varieties of ice cream here and that sounds so yummy.
Looks SO fun!
looks so fun!!
Great American Traditions….
I so badly want to go there!
I wish we have a Farmer’s Market in my country. Those are wonderful photos.
Beautiful photographs, really captures the mood so well!
That’s one of the first things I plan on doing when I move to LA someday!
xoxo
gorgeous photos!
love ‘lights under the awning.’ i have a real thing for lights coming on before sunset.
Gorgeous pictures! I love the farmer’s market.
Is that the F21 dress you were thinking of buying?
What a lovely farmer’s market! I now feel like I need a glass canister full of loose tea on my kitchen counter. Sadly, our farmer’s markets just closed for the season and won’t be open again until October.
I so love the farmers market!
aww it looks very cute. I love farmer’s markets, there’s loads here in scotland. That ice cream sounds gorgeous
I love the farmers market and the grove! I read about the 75 anniversary in the last issue of westways magazine
I sooo want to go to the grove now this weekend! can’t miss the farmers market’s birthday! (and I love Pampas Grill!)
This looks like an amazing farmer’s market. Any time I can get ice cream dipped in chocolate is a great day for me!! Have good weekend!
Your pictures are getting better and better! Wish I lived closer to that place for the ethnic food alone. And the Grove isn’t bad either.
I am obsessed with The Grove. Every time I visit California, which is actually rather frequently, I have to stop by. I can’t remember what it’s called, but there is one food place that serves New Orleans style food. BEST GUMBO EVER!!! And there Iced Tea with mint is to die for. I just love it.
I love this post, thank you
this looks so cool!
Looks like an absolutely magical day.
NPR actually just did a piece on farmer’s markets and gave your local a nod for being one of the first that started the whole movement! very cool.
looks like so much fun! and vanilla dipped in chocolate would have been my pick too!!
so wonderful! what flavor did you get?!
beautiful pictures!
These pictures are so gorgeous- this looks kind of like the epitome of summer. Hope you had a wonderful, day dreamy time!
oooh what fun! vanilla dipped in chocolate is a perfect choice. i used to always get that at dairy queen when i was little
I love farmer’s market. I’ve been to several different ones in the los angeles area. (santa monica, encino, northridge) The first time I went to farmer’s market was at the 3rd st and fairfax location. I fell in love with it ever since.
