Beverly Hills Farmer’s Market is open outdoors weekly, on Sundays from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M near the Beverly Hills Public Library. The market has everything one would expect farmers to grow: tomatoes, corns, potatoes, sweet potatoes. However, not everything sold is just vegetables and fruits. Farmers also sell cooked food, such as kimchi and pickles made from the crops they grow. I have always imagined farmer’s markets to be places for parents to go grocery shopping, but the farmers offer lots of choices, such as crêpes, for people who want to hang out with their friends as well.
The farmers also sometimes hold special events. On the 2nd Sunday of each month, they host an event called “Cookin’ Kids”, where they teach young children how to cook food (one example is the persimmon & herb stuffing) using the fresh vegetables. On August every year, one can compete in a contest called “PickleFest” in which the contestants compete to make the best pickle. The festival offers family-friendly entertainment. With a wide array of healthy choice of food and fun events, the Beverly Hills Farmer’s Market will remain a go-to choice for friend and family fun every weekend.
