Like many folks we know, we love our Culver City Farmers’ Market, but Tuesdays come and go and all of a sudden it’s been months since we visited. Our Market is perfectly located on (“the world’s shortest”) Main Street between Washington and Venice, and takes place on Tuesdays between 2:00 – 7:00 p.m. The mix of fresh and prepared foods, flowers, and other vendors is terrific, and the adjacent restaurants can’t be beat when it comes time to relax after shopping. See you there this Tuesday?
