Santa Monica, California Activities Santa Monica Farmers’ Market For a look at the incredible produce of California and the largest organic Farmers’ Market in the West, check out the Santa Monica Farmers’ Market. Instead of picking the fruit early and artificially making it look ripe as is usually done in supermarkets, the fruit at the Farmer’s Market is picked at the peak or ripeness. This makes everything here taste and smell fantastic, and it’s the reason you can expect to be rubbing elbows with chefs from the many fine local restaurants in Santa Monica.
