The market reopens in a new location with an expanded and upgraded selection of vendors, including Underwood Family Farms, Living Lettuce and Beyond Bread. The revamped Glendale farmers market launched Jan. 9 in a new location with an expanded and upgraded roster.

Last year, the Downtown Glendale Assn., a merchants and property owners group, took over the market, and this month hired a new manager, Carole Gallegos, who directs the successful Encino and South Pasadena farmers markets.

The Glendale Farmers Market is now located in the parking lot of First Baptist Church on the corner of Louise Street and Wilson Avenue. It’s expanded to about 35 vendors and is away from traffic on Brand Boulevard, where it was formerly located north of Broadway. Also, the market, which opens at 9 a.m. every Thursday, now has restroom access. The move was made after the market’s management was taken over by the Downtown Glendale Assn., which had concerns about traffic, parking and access for the disabled at the former location, where it had been for several years.

  We have a number of very good new vendors at the Downtown Glendale Market. One of those is Mom’s Products, Inc. It began nearly 20 years ago out of the home of owner, Ben Azouz. He started making his authentic Mediterranean dips and appetizers for his friends and neighbors. His products were so popular, he began selling them in farmer’s markets. Today you can buy his products at over 30 markets, from San Diego to Orange County. Be sure to try the number one seller and favorite of employee, Mosstafa Bibi (pictured here) the artichoke hummus. The market is open every Thursday...

The premise of the Downtown Glendale Community Benefit District, which is referred to by...
