This neighborhood market was established in 1992 and features produce from approximately 35 certified California farms, as well as live entertainment, activities and prepared and prepackaged food.  It is a popular site with the local community and draws its customer base from the local Santa Monica and west side communities.

The Pico market is open Saturdays from 8:00am to 1:00pm, rain or shine, and may be closed for selected holidays.

All four markets accept Cal Fresh EBT and WIC-Farmers Market Nutrition Program checks.

The Saturday Pico and Sunday Main Street markets also provide a Market Match program for Cal Fresh EBT customers.  Market Match is California’s healthy food incentive program that matches customers’ CalFresh nutrition assistance benefits at farmers markets.  The Pico Market Match Program (in partnership with Hunger Action Los Angeles) matches up to $20 and the Main Street Market (in partnership with ARP) matches up to $20 for the purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables.
