This Farmer's market is across the street from 2nd and PCH in Long Beach and is open from 9a-1p on…read moreSunday. It's my local farmer's market and they have a several gems here. My current favorite here is Solis Bagels, which is a pop-up bagelry with what I consider to be the best bagels in Long Beach. They have really good bagels and schmears, but what brings them over the top are their farm-fresh ingredients. The nice subtle touches are the sprinkling of salt, a light pour of olive oil, and a squeeze of citrus. It, for good reason, has the longest line in the market. There are other food vendors here like Colossus bakery that are staples. I want to come back next week for the tortilla Espanola vendor. Being the end of summer, there were some amazing hybrid fruits that were in the market. I can't even tell you what the fruits were because the farmers cross pollinated a bunch of stuff to make delicious stuff.

Holy moly am I impressed by this local farmers market…read more The Long Beach Southeast Farmer's Market is located on the backside of 2nd & PCH in the Alamitos Bay Marina parking lot. It happens each Sunday from 9 AM to 2 PM. This market is filled with all your essentials. Tons of fruits, veggies, cheeses, meats, baked goods, flowers, house plants, dips, and more. There was even a bagel spot with a line about 50 people deep. I am my best self at a farmers market, but often leave with an empty wallet. I snagged hummus, kombucha, green juice, and a floral arrangement in one visit. A few things that make this spot incredibly special: 1. there's a plethora of parking and it's free for the first 2-hours. 2. They literally have a dog valet where you can drop off your pet before shopping the local vendors. Quite possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen. 3. It's literally hosted at the marina with a gorgeous view of the boats and water. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon picnic with your farmers market goodies. Highly highly recommend adding this to your weekend itinerary.

Long Beach does farmers markets well and Harvest at Bixby Park is no exception…read more This farmers market is practically coastal. It takes place at a beach-side park and features everything you could need to stock up for the week. Most recently I've seen bagels, donuts, hummus, sauces, meats, dog treats, live music, empanadas, juices, veggies, fruits, and more. I love that the majority of their vendors are hyper local. You'll discover fan-favorite businesses here like Solis and Devi's Donuts that you won't find outside of the Long Beach foodie scene. The best part? This farmers market is dog friendly! Practically unheard of. The widespread outdoor environment is perfect for your furry friend. There's also a lot of trees, shaded areas, and grass, so you can instantly dive into your collection of locally made goodies picnic-style.

We happened to walk by and noticed a good amount of tents were set up and walked over to see what it was about. Well it's another farmers market. It's not too big but it does offer a lot of produce vendors and food vendors. It's is pet friendly as it's in the park. One side is where the produce is. Loads of nice fresh and beautiful fruits and vegetables. Farm fresh eggs also available. They do have a good amount of vendors selling gifts and trinkets. You have apparel, there's a cute pet vendor and more. The side where the stage is with a live band is where all the food vendors are located. There's been pizza, bagels, made to order meals as well as seafood vendors. There's quite a good amount on food. With the stage being there, they alway had a live band performing and keeping people entertained. Dancing happens which is a nice way to get people to enjoy themselves. It's a pretty cool market but parking is limited as it's alway pretty busy at the park.

A rare gem of kindness and community spirit!…read more I stopped by Smith Farms this evening hoping to grab some cherry tomatoes, only to realize they had already closed. I figured I'd missed my chance--but to my surprise, they opened the doors just for me. My total came to $6.50, and with their $10 minimum for card purchases and no cash on hand, I was ready to walk away empty-handed. Instead, they handed me the tomatoes and refused to charge me this evening (I will go back tomorrow and pay them). In a world where generosity feels increasingly rare, Smith Farms reminded me what true neighborly kindness looks like. Their produce is always fresh, but it's their heart that makes this place truly special. Thank you for going above and beyond--you've earned a lifelong customer.

You could definitely find fruits, vegetables, yogurt, breads, and honey; however, what brings this from 3 stars to 4 stars are the variety of food vendors that attend the market. As you drive by, you'll tend to see about five to eight food trucks serving Jamaican, Philly Cheesesteaks, Birria, Tacos, Pupusas, Churros, and American BBQ. My favorite vendors here are Battambong BBQ, which has a great reputation for their barbecue with Cambodian flavors and Churros Don Abel Jr, for their made-to-order churros. Unfortunately, Battambong was not present this week (as the chef was on vacation for the week), but I'll be back soon for Battambong's delicious smoked brisket and Cambodian-style sausages. Overall, this is a small, local farmer's market with excellent food choices; however, you can definitely find the fresh fruits and vegetables if that's what you seek.
