The Wednesday Market opened in Santa Monica's downtown retail district with the modest goals of providing reasonably priced, high quality produce to the city's population, and bringing more foot traffic into the area. The market met with instant success in its first year. Now, more than twenty years later, it's widely recognized as one of the largest and most diverse grower-only CFM's in the state. Some nine thousands food shoppers every week, and many of Los Angeles' best known chefs and restaurants, are keyed to the seasonal rhythms of the Wednesday Market. It's hardly an exaggeration to say, at mid-week in the heart of the city the mother of markets comes to town. Whether you're looking for a common, exotic or experimental variety of fruit or vegetable, this market is a treasure trove of agricultural diversity. The Saturday Downtown Market opened ten years after the Wednesday Market in the same location. As Santa Monica's second CFM, it had a different mission to fulfill. With the passage of the California Organic Foods Act of 1990, consumers were naturally eager for more organic produce and another market for weekend shopping. At present, over sixty percent of the produce sold at this market is grown organically. This means it has one of the highest concentrations of organic farmers in the state.
