Burbank Certified Farmers' Market

Many vendors at the Burbank Certified Farmers' Market donate unsold food to Food Forward at the end of the market, tying a Saturday produce run to a larger food-rescue effort. The market has served the community since 1983 and operates as part of the Providence Saint Joseph Foundation, with vendor fees going directly to that foundation. In Downtown Burbank, the market gathers farmers, specialty food makers, and prepared-food vendors in the Community Services Building parking lot at Olive & Glenoaks. That combination gives the market a clear identity: weekly shopping for produce, pantry staples, and ready-to-eat items with a nonprofit backbone.

Why it matters locally

Serving the community since 1983 gives this Downtown Burbank market a long-running place in the city’s weekly routine. Its organizing structure is unusually direct: the market is part of the Providence Saint Joseph Foundation, and the 6% to 10% in vendor fees goes to that foundation. The market’s food-rescue connection adds another local layer, with many vendors donating unsold food items to Food Forward at the end of the market. Health oversight is also spelled out clearly, with farmers inspected by the Los Angeles County Health Department and non-agriculture vendors regulated by the Los Angeles Health Department. Together, those details point to a market built not just around sales, but around public benefit, oversight, and steady weekly access to farm goods in central Burbank.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix leans heavily toward produce, with fruit growers, vegetable farms, eggs, mushrooms, flowers, and nursery stock alongside breads, cheese, tea, yogurt, seafood, and prepared foods.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, with trained service animals only, and no smoking is permitted inside the market. Parking is usually the next planning point: the small lot at Olive & Glenoaks gets crowded, but weekend public parking is also available at the Fire Station lot at Orange Grove & Glenoaks and at the City Hall parking lot at Third & Orange Grove, which sits right across Third Street from the market. The site is wheelchair accessible. There are no public restrooms inside the market itself, though a public restroom is available in the Police/Fire Lobby at 3rd & Orange Grove.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP EBT is accepted here, and the market also lists WIC acceptance and Market Match up to $15. That matters at a market with staples like eggs, seasonal produce, citrus, avocados, and greens alongside pantry items such as olive oil, honey, and dried fruit.
