The
Wednesday
Market opened in Santa Monica's downtown
retail district with the modest goals of providing
reasonably priced, high quality produce to the
city's population, and bringing more foot traffic
into the area. The market met with instant success
in its first year. Now, more than twenty years
later, it's widely recognized as one of the
largest and most diverse growers-only CFM's
in the state. Some nine thousands food shoppers
every week, and many of Los Angeles' best known
chefs and restaurants, are keyed to the seasonal
rhythms of the Wednesday Market. It's hardly
an exaggeration to say, at mid-week in the heart
of the city the mother of markets comes to town.
Whether you're looking for a common, exotic
or experimental variety of fruit or vegetable,
this market is a treasure trove of agricultural
diversity.
