mers’ Market

Vendors' Highlight

You may recognize a few farmers who have been with the market since its inception and as such have developed a loyal customer base. Here are a few of the vendors who have participated in the market since 1986:

Crown 12 Ranch

History of the Market

Known for their fresh crisp citrus, avocados, and more. Farmed locally from Riverside County.

The year 2021 will mark the 35th year of operation for the Helen Albert Certified Farmers’ Market. The Farmers’ Market officially opened on June 16, 1986. Whether you have been shopping with us for decades or only a few years, we would like to thank our community for contributing to the success of the market. “ On September 19, 1985, the City of West Hollywood City Council approved a resolution to establish a West Hollywood Certified Farmers’ Market. The purpose of the West Hollywood Farmers’ Market was to provide residents of West Hollywood with high quality produce, fish, nuts, and flowers at affordable prices, to establish a community service which allows for regular residential social interaction, to enhance the City’s image, and to draw consumers to the local business community” (City Council Consent Calendar, March 20, 1986).

Energy Bee Farms

Known for the variety of raw honey, locally made in Los Angeles County.

The proposal of the West Hollywood Farmers’ Market was presented to the City Council with the recommendation to open the West Hollywood Certified Farmers’ Market on June 16, 1986. Many West Hollywood residents wrote letters and signed petitions in favor of the City establishing a local Farmers’ Market, especially older adults who live nearby Plummer Park.

Tenerelli Farms

Known for their farmed fresh stone fruit. Farmed locally in Los Angeles County.

“ In 1997, the City of West Hollywood Certified Farmers' Market was named in recognition of former Councilmember Helen Albert. Council had previously discussed how to recognize the contributions of former Councilmember Helen Albert. Because she took special interest in establishing the West Hollywood Certified Farmers' Market, including sponsoring the original item by which the City Council founded the Market, naming this community project in recognition of Councilmember Albert would be an appropriate way to recognize her accomplishments” (City Council Agenda Item 2L, September 15, 1997).

J & P West Coast Seafood

Known for their fresh wild caught fish, locally caught in Los Angeles County.

Virtual Sunday Yoga Basics

Virtual Tuesday Yin Yoga

Yoga Basics is an introductory level class that helps you reduce stress and anxiety while building flexibility and strength. With in-depth instruction, you'll learn how to safely practice the fundamental poses of yoga. Borrowing from the Iyengar, Viniyoga and Anusara traditions, this class is suitable for beginning yoga students, those with injuries, and ongoing students interested in deepening understanding of their body and mind in practice. No experience necessary. * Cost: $50 monthly membership. Attend any or all 4 days of the week.

It is time to de-stress and unwind! Yin yoga is a relaxing, passive style of yoga that incorporates principles of traditional Chinese medicine. Class consists of a series of seated and reclining poses that are held for up to 5 minutes each. Designed to free up the flow of Qi (life force energy) and safely stretch connective tissue around the joints, Yin Yoga calms the nervous system and promotes flexibility in the lower part of the body - the hips, pelvis, inner thighs and lower spine - as well as the neck and shoulders. This class is suitable for beginning yoga students, those with injuries, and ongoing students interested in deepening understanding of their body and mind in practice. No experience necessary. * Cost: $50 monthly membership. Attend any or all 4 days of the week.
