There is something so wonderful about the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market. Sure, it's not as glamorous as the one in Hollywood, and it's definitely not as robust as the famous one in Santa Monica, but what we have here is our very own small-town weekly gathering.
Over the past few months the market has grown substantially - previously taking over just a small portion of the block behind the Beverly Hills Police station on Civic Center Drive. But now, the market turns the corner - twice! Wrapping from Civic Center Drive all the way to 3rd street. It's not a puny little farmer's market anymore.
No.
The Beverly Hills Farmer's Market has come into it's own with big-name local farms, delicious prepared food and even some non-food vendors. Oh - and now that summer time has hit, the produce is wonderful... gobs of stone fruit, fresh cherries and beautiful squash seem to call out at every stall. There's even a butcher on hand if you want a side of beef, and a fish monger selling fresh fish!
But, perhaps the best part of the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market - the thing that sets it apart from all of the other markets around LA- is the small-town feel of this market.
This past week, the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market featured Piesta - an assortment of pie-related activities. The "new" Beverly Hills Clementine's was open to purchase slices of pie, there was a pie bake-off, a little pie-making station for kids (that was free for little ones) and even a ole' fashioned pie-eating contest. It's events like these that make Beverly Hills so special and charming.
We're really just a small town locked inside a big city. The best of both worlds, if you ask me.
