Groceries

Marconda's Puritan Poultry
These experts know fowl: whole birds or perfectly prepared cuts of chicken, turkey and exotic birds are all available here. It is as fresh as it can be and you can have the pros behind the counter prepare your order exactly as you wish. The shop offers great advice, too – ask the experts behind the counter about cooking tips, suggestions and, when you want to eat well and quickly, ready-to-cook items are also available. Click here to learn more about the DeRosa Family, owners of Marconda's Puritan Poultry.
 
Specialty Foods
Stall 548
Bennett's Ice Cream
Bennett’s Ice Cream is one of the last of a vanishing tradition: Scott Bennett and his staff make their own ice cream from fresh ingredients mixed on the spot (you can watch the process through Bennett’s kitchen window). The result is so fine that Bennett's regularly wins awards (there are Blue Ribbons all over the shop). The flavors are also wonderfully inventive – try Scott’s cabernet sauvignon sorbet or his pumpkin ice cream. Click here to learn about Scott Bennett, owner of Bennett's Ice Cream.

Ralph’s Key Shop
Every imaginable key can be duplicated or created at this Market institution. They can make keys for your car, for a special lock or home, all done in a few minutes. The array of key rings is unbelievable: all shapes, sizes, colors and materials, from plastic to aluminum.
 
Restaurants
Stall 210
Du-par’s Restaurant

Perhaps the quintessential local favorite, Du-par's has been around since 1938, almost as long as the Market itself. Some believe the phrase comfort food was created to describe this beloved diner. From homemade chicken pot pies to the best hotcakes in Los Angeles, Du-par's is always a fan favorite.

Los Angeles's Original Farmers Market

By David Hamlin and Brett Arena Since 1934, the Original Farmers Market at 3rd & Fairfax in Los Angeles has been at the center of the citys history, from the Great Depression to todays Great Recession. It has endured as one of LAs most treasured locations, drawing visitors not only from the city it helped mold but also millions of tourists from around the world. Authors David Hamlin and Brett Arena capture the Markets quirky beginnings, its enduring personality, popularity and eccentricities in a new book from Arcadia Publishings Image of America series. With the help of hundreds of rare archival photos made available from the Farmers Market owner, the A. F. Gilmore Company, the authors trace the evolution of the property through a rich history that reads more like fiction than real history. 128 pages, paperback.
