The Antelope Valley Winery market forgoes the certification process but is the best in its area, with fresh local produce and more.

At many Southern California certified farmers markets, the vendors may comply with agricultural regulations but still offer only mediocre produce and may never have actually set foot on a farm. Paradoxically, the Antelope Valley Winery farmers market in Lancaster is uncertified — not supervised by county or state agricultural authorities — but it's the best in its area, boasting really fresh produce, much of it organic, from nearby small farms. Flanked by trellised grapevines, it's small but picturesque, and much beloved by local customers and growers.
