Farmers Market

ONEgeneration Encino Farmers Market is an excellent way for everyone in the family to spend time together for shopping, food and fun! The market is open year round on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at 17400 Victory Boulevard (between White Oak and Louise) with plenty of convenient parking. A number of our farmers are  Certified Organic Farmers; the market features a great variety of California grown fruits and vegetables, and also features fresh flowers, eggs, chicken and grass fed beef, honey, mushrooms, plants, and more! During the peak months between May and November, about 40 farms from all over Central and Southern California participate.  Donations and a portion of the proceeds from the farmers market each week help to support ONEgeneraiton and the services they provide the community.
 

In addition to farm products, the market also offers prepared food: crepes, gourmet tamales, vegan products, plus coffee, lattes, teas and fruit smoothies. Two bakeries and a fresh fish monger complete the market.

The ONEgeneration Encino Farmers Market will be closed on Christmas and New Years Day.

While shopping at the market, enjoy buying carefully selected craft products like hand made soaps, candles, hats, clothing, jewelry and more.

ONEgeneration Encino Farmers Market is a community gathering place where neighbors meet to shop, then have a leisurely bite to eat under the umbrellas in the food court. Many people comment on the relaxed and friendly atmosphere reminiscent of European markets.
