Buy Local at Farmers Markets

Buy Local at Farmers Markets

Not only do Famers’ Markets offer locally grown produce which is good for the environment and our local farmers, but the prices on organic goods are often cheaper than what you’ll find at your local Whole Foods or specialty brick and mortar. Add to that the abundance of children’s activities at many of these Farmers markets and it’s a win-win proposition for the whole family.

Below is a list of a few of L.A. Kid Stuff’s favorite kid and family-friendly Farmer’s Markets in the L.A. area so you can start cultivating the next generation of farmers market supporters in a fun and enjoyable way! Activities are usually free; pony and train rides have a minimal fee. L.A. Kid Stuff confirmed that these markets have vendors that are Certified Organic Farmers, or farmers who are 99% pesticide free.
