Sherman Oaks Farmers Market

Finally, I managed to take a good number of photos at the farmers market today even though I got out of work a little late today. Let’s start……

Sherman Oaks farmers market is open every Tuesday from 3-8 PM. It is located at the Fashion Square mall’s outdoor parking, closed to Woodman Ave. See the google map below. The red pin tells you exactly where the farmers market is. Switch to satellite view, zoom in, and you will see that it is at the outdoor parking.

One good thing about this farmers market is I don’t have to worry about parking since it is already at the huge parking space. I can just park and walk right in! There are also some booths selling some fresh cooked food, so sometimes I just have my dinner there. They have some big tables for people to sit and eat there while listening to music. Yes, they have a music band playing every Tuesday at this farmers market.

As I mentioned previously, I usually go there to get some fresh produce, and so far I have been very happy with the quality of the produce they sell at this farmers market. I really like the fresh free-range eggs from Kendor farm. They are super fresh and packed on the same day they are sold. I can confirm that they are fresh because I eat them RAW! Yes, Rocky’s style. Also, I love the certified organic fuji apples and Korean pears from Ha’s apple farm. They are sweet and juicy. I am simply addicted to them now. Ok enough talk, please enjoy the pictures.

This has always been my parking spot for the farmers market.  In fact, it is the exit.  That's why I can always get this spot.  Easy access to fresh produce.  Many people will try to park at the front where they have the music band.

 

Many booths and plenty of parking

Power outage at Sherman Oaks farmers market

There was a power outage at Sherman Oaks farmers market on Tuesday, so I have to postpone the entry again :( Nonetheless, some of the booths were still open until 7:00 PM. I got some eggs, apples and vegetables as usual.  I hope all the booths will be open again next week.

Although yesterday I went to the Sherman Oaks farmers market, the weather is SO cold that I was able to take only 2-3 photos.  I will have to postpone the farmers market posting to next week.

Today I went back to work like usual... :(  For this week, my boss is on a trip to UK, so it's a little bit relaxing in the office... :)  I decide to bring my camera with me all the time, so that I can snap some photos whenever I want.

During lunch time, I and my friends went to Asakuma rice for our lunch.  This Japanese restaurant is quite new.  Personally, I think the food is good but not great.  The price for lunch special is quite reasonable (I usually go there for lunch), but other items are quite expensive ($3 for a small bowl of miso soup?) compare to the other sushi restaurants in the area. Very friendly and attentive service.  You can read some more review here.  Below are some photos I took at the restaurant

My lunch special... yummy!

The restroom is quite small but very clean.

There are only 4 parking in the back of the restaurant.

Most customers will have to rely on the parking meters on the street.
