The Playa Vista Farmers' Market is a Certified Farmers' Market with a "farmer first" philosophy. Saturdays from 9:30am-2pm, the market brings together sustainable California farms, local artisans, musicians and community members. The market has a sister nonprofit, Sprouts of Promise . Sprouts of Promise is a 501(c)(3) that educates children and families on the importance of fresh fruits and vegetables and gives food-insecure individuals access to locally grown produce.
