Los Angeles - The Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC) and Food Access LA are proud to announce the launch of the Little Tokyo Farmers’ Market, opening Saturday, August 30, 2025, from 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
Located at JACCC’s landmark Isamu Noguchi Plaza (244 South San Pedro St, Los Angeles, CA 90012), the market will feature a variety of California’s esteemed farmers, artisans, and makers.
There is an emphasis on Japanese American purveyors to honor the community’s long-standing history and significant contributions to American agriculture. This program is supported, in part, by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and the LA Food Equity Fund.
The launch comes at a time when food access and community-gathering spaces are more crucial than ever. By pairing fresh, locally sourced produce with SNAP/EBT acceptance, the Little Tokyo Farmers’ Market aims to address both nutritional needs and the social connections that sustain a thriving neighborhood.
The market will run weekly on Saturdays, offering fresh, locally grown produce, handcrafted goods, and prepared foods from some of Southern California’s most beloved farmers, vendors, and artisans, with a special spotlight on Japanese farmers and makers.
Shoppers can enjoy seasonal produce from Japanese farms, including Tamai Farms, Yamabushi Farms, and Shigeru Nursery, alongside offerings from G Farms, Henry’s Farms, Osorio Family Farms, Garcia Ruelas, and Hernandez Brothers Family Farm.
Artisan highlights include Totonoeru Cha, sharing premium Japanese teas and tea ware, and Serein Botanicals, offering small-batch botanical skincare.

Facebook/Mike Murase (September 27 at 6:49PM) Nikkei Progressives tabled at Little Tokyo Farmers' Market this morning. The market is still in its test period until the end of the year. If the merchants aren't making a little profit by then, the Farmers' Market is in danger of not continuing. I hope people in Little Tokyo start to come out regularly. It's a great market.
