Drive down Calabasas Road on any given Saturday morning, and it’s sure to be packed with cars and people. That’s because from 8 am-1 pm in Old Town Calabasas, families from all over come out to the Calabasas Farmer’s Market.
Located near the intersection of Calabasas Road and El Canon (across from Sagebrush Cantina), the Market is filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, dried fruit, freshly-squeezed juice, bakery goods, fish and clothing. You’ll find people taste-testing blood oranges, children drinking strawberry lemonade in the shade, and old women squeezing avocados to find to freshest ingredients for their kitchen.

As I made my way over there yesterday morning, the bright sunny weather seemed to attract more people than usual. There was ample parking in parking lots along Calabasas road, although parking near the market costs around $2. As I ambled my way through the rows of stalls listening to a man sing covers of Michael Buble, I found a variety of fresh produce from farms all over Southern California for a decent price.

Just so you get a better idea of what the place is like, I made a video about my visit to the farmer’s market below. I interviewed the owners of a fruit stand and of a fish stand to get a glimpse of what it is they do. Enjoy!!
