Old L.A. Certified Farmers Market

Old L.A. Certified Farmers Market is tied directly to the North Figueroa Association, the local organization that presents the market as part of its work along North Figueroa Street in Highland Park. The market sets up at North Figueroa and Avenue 58, next to the Highland Park Gold Line Station, giving this weekly stop a clear neighborhood anchor in one of Los Angeles' older commercial corridors. In practice, it reads as a small, transit-adjacent market with a produce-first roster rather than a festival-style event, centered on Tuesday shopping in Highland Park.

Why it matters locally

North Figueroa Street is described as the first commercial corridor in Highland Park, and the market operates right within that corridor at Avenue 58. That places the market inside a part of Highland Park that the North Figueroa Association frames as a diverse area with historic lore and architectural resources, so the market functions as one more regular use of that established neighborhood fabric rather than a stand-alone destination.

The market is also operated weekly by the Highland Park Business Improvement District, tying it to organizations already working in the district instead of an outside promoter. Its location next to the Highland Park Gold Line Station matters locally in a practical way too: this is a produce stop woven into everyday movement along North Figueroa, not a remote lot that depends on special-trip planning.

What you'll find there

The vendor roster points to a straightforward certified farmers market mix built around produce, citrus, avocados, and honey, with named growers instead of a long prepared-food lineup. The emphasis here is on shopping specific farm goods from a compact set of sellers at the Highland Park corner market.

• -Find Adrian Gaytan for vegetables, listed as verduras as well.
• -Pick up honey from Manny and Cindy Caldera, whose listing also notes bees under animals/abejas.
• -Look for Claudia for avocados and oranges, listed bilingually as aguacates and naranjas.
• -Shop Brad Donovan for lemons, limes, plums, and oranges, with the listing also naming limones, ciruelas, and naranjas.
• -Browse Acevedos Farm, which is included in the market roster as a participating farm vendor.

The calendar also identifies the market itself as a weekly Tuesday event at North Figueroa and Avenue 58, with winter hours shortened to 3pm to 7pm. Separate from shopping, the North Figueroa Association lists a Board of Director's Meeting on the third Tuesday of the month, which can place another scheduled neighborhood activity on the same day.

Know before you go

No dogs and no restrooms are the two details most likely to shape a visit here. The market is held at the intersection of North Figueroa and Avenue 58 next to the Highland Park Gold Line Station, which makes rail access the clearest on-the-ground landmark for finding it.

Tuesday timing matters too. The market is listed from 3pm to 8pm, with winter months shifting earlier to 3pm to 7pm, so late-evening shoppers should plan around the seasonal shorter close. If you like knowing who is organizing the space, the market is presented through the North Figueroa Association and operated weekly by the Highland Park BID.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Old L.A. Certified Farmers Market. The market also flags payment methods as clearly identified, which helps when you are planning a produce run with a mix of vendors selling vegetables, citrus, avocados, and honey.
