Downtown Anaheim Farmer’s Market & Craft Fair
- Thursday 11:00am to 4:00pm*
This Farmer’s Market was first established in 1995 and has been running strong ever since. It is one of the larger markets offering not only fruits, vegetables and gourmet foods, but also features crafts, entertainment and food cooked right there on-site. As the Center Street Promenade and Lemon Street grow, it is creating a great collection of retail shops, restaurants and boutiques. There is a sense of community here. Many of the establishments open their doors & patios, and really become an extension of the activity on Farmer’s Market day. There is the Colony Wine Merchant on Lemon Street, restaurants galore, a Center Street Cheese Shop, Barbeer (a barber shop with a brew pub in the back), a yoga store, home goods, a cigar shop is coming soon, and so much more. It is a vibrant area on Thursdays, and with the street being closed to cars, it creates the perfect walking path to stroll along.
On a recent walk-thru I found friendly vendors at every stop. Certified local growers proudly displayed their seasonal fruits and vegetables including: asparagus, sweet corn, broccoli, avocados, tomatoes, carrots, kale, cauliflower, cactus, radishes, herbs, potatoes chard, beets, onions and celery. Seasonal fruits include: nectarines, peaches, cantaloupes, apricots, cherries and strawberries. Gourmet artisanal food was also a treat to find, and we had a vendor selling 50 flavors of hummus and spreads (Mom’s Specialty Foods), roasted peanuts, sausage, ham and turkey, pot pies and artisan breads. Jav’s BBQ was grilling delicious chicken right there, as was Piazza Pie with a wood burning oven cooking made-to-order Italian style pizzas. There is also a craft section to this market, selling handmade clothing, hair adornments for girls, leather goods, and so forth. Flowers, herbs and a lovely selection of plants were on hand from Laguna Nursery. There are typically two musicians playing on Thursdays---offering continuous music and song. One performer sings and plays from 11:00am to 1:00pm, and a second musician plays from 1:00-4:00pm. The music adds a celebratory atmosphere to the market experience.

Each Friday at Kaiser Permanente facilities all over Orange County, Certified Farmers Markets are nurtured. Encouraging healthy eating is an important message for Kaiser, and making fresh fruits and vegetables easily assessable is one way to reinforce that effort. Certified local farmers display their treasures just across from the Kaiser parking structure, and the market hours allow many locals to sneak out during their lunch hour and stock up for the weekend.

Farmers Park Certified Farmer’s Market
- Sunday from 10:00am to 3:00pm*
Farmers Park is located adjacent to the historic Anaheim Packing District. Farmers Park is a beautiful two acre park featuring a grassy knoll, redwood boardwalk, community gardens and an olive grove. On the south end is the Packing District which is also a pleasure to explore. This is a restored building that operated at the turn of the century as a real packing house for fruits and vegetables being crated for railroad shipments heading off to other states. Today it is a tri-level enclave with small-scale restaurants and community seating all around. They feature cuisine from around the globe---from Indian street food, to Southern fare, burgers, sushi, craft beers, juice bar, ice cream, and even a prohibition speakeasy bar. On the north end of the Park is the Anaheim Brewery & Tasting Room. This was originally a pre-prohibition brewery from the turn of the century.
On Sundays, the Farmers Park is transformed into a neighborhood fun zone for all ages. It is a vibrant spot for the community to mingle and relax. Front and center is, of course, the Farmers Market, where certified local growers proudly displayed their fruits and vegetables. Guests can find seasonal vegetables, such as: avocados, tomatoes, carrots, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, herbs, potatoes, chard, beets, onions and celery. Seasonal fruits that can now be found for summer include: pears, grapes, figs, kiwi, peaches, apricots, cherries, citrus and strawberries. Gourmet artisanal foods can also be found here. This includes: fresh eggs, hummus, pita, sheep & goat cheese, handmade yogurt and spreads, salsas, artisan breads, olive oils, toffee, cookies and cakes. And last, but certainly not least are flowers! Other activities can also be found at the Park on Sundays. From 10:00-11:00am there is a complimentary Yoga session on the lawn. Guests are encouraged to bring their own mats. And from 11:00am-12:00 noontime, SuperHooper will offer a unique hula hoop class
Each week various “fashionista mobile boutiques” arrive to display their clothing. For example, Mod Owl will be there 6/21, Waves of Attire will be on site 7/19, 8/2 & 8/23, and Fashion on the Run on 6/28, 7/12, 7/26 & 8/9. Each week different musical acts play--- adding to the casual, neighborhood ambiance of a lazy summer Sunday afternoon.
