There are so many good things about this farmer's market.  
One, it is open 7 days a week.  None of this Saturdays only from 8am to 12pm.  No.  It's fresh fruits and vegetables are available to you 7 days a week.  
Two, the service is quite good.  At checkout, the clerk puts your items in boxes.  From a marketing standpoint, it gives the customer the feel of having gotten their goods from a farm.  But it works.  It's a nice memory.  If someone needs help out to their car, that's also available.  The service at this store is quite good.  If it is available, I like to pick up a few bottles of Claravale's Raw Milk.  The last time I was in the store was out of it.  It sells out quickly.  I asked the stock clerk if he had any more in the back.  He said he would check.  He took the time out of his busy routine to check.  He didn't have to, but he did.  That was service, and it was thoughtful service.  
Three, parking during most hours is plentiful.  But if there's no space in the lot, there's usually space on the streets.  So no problems there. 
Four, their cheese selection is pretty good.
Five, they have a terrific selection of nuts, cookies, crackers, and candies.  
I love this place.  I love the fact that it is so close.  The nearest cross street is Brea Canyon Road.
