North Redondo Beach Farmers Market, Oct 14

Midweek is when most of us run out of fresh groceries and ideas, and a farmers market fixes both at once. The North Redondo Beach Farmers Market is back on Wednesday, October 14, on Green Lane at Artesia Blvd. If you keep a running list of things to do in Los Angeles that don't involve a long drive, this neighborhood market is an easy one to add.

What to expect

This is a neighborhood-scale market, not a destination one, and that is the appeal. Expect the usual South Bay mix: seasonal fruit and vegetables, baked goods, and a few stands selling food to eat on the spot. You can loop the whole thing in twenty minutes, or stretch it to an hour if you stop to ask growers what is good this week.

October is a nice time to go. Summer stone fruit is winding down, and fall produce such as apples, squash and late tomatoes starts to crowd the tables. Vendor lineups shift from week to week, so treat any specific stall as a maybe rather than a promise.

Why the afternoon schedule helps

Most markets in the area wrap up by early afternoon. A 2pm to 7pm window means you can come straight from work, pick up dinner ingredients, and still catch the last of the daylight. It also makes the market a decent stop for families after school. For anyone scanning LA food festivals and markets for something low-key, this one rewards a short, unhurried visit.

Getting there

Green Lane sits at Artesia Blvd in North Redondo Beach, a few minutes inland from the beach cities. Parking is typically on nearby residential streets, so give yourself a few extra minutes and expect to walk a block or two. Bring your own bags and some small bills, since some stalls may be cash-only. The market lists no admission charge, and what you spend depends on how much you buy.

Check the Local Anchor listing before you head out. Weekly markets occasionally shift for holidays, weather or street closures, and the listing is the quickest way to confirm. If the date doesn't work, the same market returns the following Wednesday.

Make an afternoon of it

Redondo Beach has plenty nearby for a longer outing: the pier and harbor are a short drive west, and Hermosa and Manhattan Beach are close if you want to catch sunset after you shop.
