There's this French bakery stall in the middle of the pop-up market that offers both sweet and savory items, which are at par with the goodies one will find in a good boulangerie-patisserie in France. From time to time, if we happen to be in the vicinity on a Saturday, we drop by and see what they have. Most of the pastries are a hit. But, there was this instance when we got an over baked, dry sourdough bread, oh well. There are produce, crafts, other food stalls. It would surely be nice if there will be more vendors. Wide open parking, as this farmers market is inside Mt. SAC.

The tiniest farmers market I have ever seen. The prices are really high, but some farms are coming from far away. Usually the Asian vegetable vendors come from Fresno. If you're from the city of LA, it's not really worth your time as we have better farmers markets in LA such Hollywood and Santa Monica. One of the vendors were really aggressive like a high-pressure used car salesman passing out plastic bags to everyone who passed by. A tactic that worked on me as well saying words in my parents' native language. He also made comments to get more fruit. I saw someone buy $40 worth of apples from him at $4 a pound! Crazy. One vendor didn't sell Orange County stawberries by the basket and was only selling 3 baskets at $15. If you live in the area, then it's probably worth your time. If you're a visitor, I would skip it as there are only a few food vendors such as the tamale booth that seems to be at every farmers market in LA and a pastry vendor from Long Beach. I would probably recommend heading to the Asian vegetable vendor and the ladies selling oranges from Riverside towards the back.

This was the first time I went to this farmers market. It was small but I made some purchases. I bought a fruit tree, croissants, and tamales. The French pastries looked so good but I did notice some of the pastries we're getting a little too much sun and looked a bit melted. I bought raspberry, fruit tart and a chocolate croissant. I got two pork and one chili cheese tamale. The pastries were a bit pricey, but it's hard to resist. Their plants and trees are pretty good prices and proceeds benefit Mt. Sac. I will go back when I have more free time.

I always look forward to Saturday morning walks to the farmers market. Love checking out the beautiful, seasonal produce. A lot of quick, tasty breakfast options. Just a bit expensive

Really great, unexpected Saturday morning find. I think this farmer's market disappeared for a while based on the sporadic, outdated reviews. Now it's back and conveniently located in the spacious parking lot at Mt. SAC. As usual, there are tons of veggie vendors. There's a bread stand. There's a nut stand. There's a hummus stand. Plenty of the usual stands. But sets this market apart from others are the hidden gems between stalls. For being an early morning market, there are a ton of hot food options - I picked up two tamales from the tamale person for $4 bucks a pop. Their prices haven't been inflated by the inflation. I also saw a Mediterranean stand and I'm pretty sure there was an Asian stand of some sort. What I loved about this market was the pastry guy, unapologetically located smack dab in the center of the market. All of his pastries run around $5-$6 dollars and everything I picked up was so delicious. I bought an almond croissant, a pistachio croissant, and a ham & cheese guy - all the croissants were phenomenally flakey. I also picked up a spinach and cheese quiche which made for a nice breakfast situation. Definitely come here for the pastries. Based on my observation, everyone was here for the seafood peddler. The line for this stand snaked around the market. Pretty. good options for being such a small market.

My family and I visited here earlier this month on a Saturday morning. There are tents, (so look out for it) it is in the school compound. It was okay. I was expecting more variety of fruits and vegetables. One or two stalls I was not impressed with the fruits the apples were spoiling. Please note if you are on WIC you would not be able to use the cheques for organic vegetables at the stalls. You can use your Wic cheques on those that are not. One particular vendor I spoke to he mentioned, the produce was fresh and pesticides free.

It's good for the most part. The vendors are all really nice and have a lot of great fruits and vegetables, and just different local items that you would just expect from a farmers market that are all really great. It just becomes a nuisance when you can only pay with cash. There are so many things vendors can do to accept payment nowadays; venmo, cash app, square, etc. Cash shouldn't be the only option anymore. It should honestly be illegal knowing how filthy money is in general. It comes in contact with more things that anyone can ever imagine. Contacless payments should definitely be an option. My decisions of where I purchase anything heavily depends on weather they accept it or not. If it's not an option I officially make it a place where I choose not to go anymore. As an alumni for the college, I really feel like this cash only payment process should end.
