Burbank Farmers Market Near MBS | A Perfect Saturday Self-Care Stop
Every Saturday morning, one of my favorite parts of Burbank comes alive just steps from my spa — the Burbank Farmers Market, held from 8:00am to 12:30pm. If you’re already planning a self-care day, this market fits seamlessly into your schedule, whether you stop by before your appointment or swing through after your service feeling refreshed and relaxed.
I’ve worked in this neighborhood for years, and the farmers market has become part of the rhythm of Saturdays here. Guests often tell me they love pairing their spa visit with a walk through the market, grabbing fresh produce, flowers, or something special for the weekend. It’s convenient, local, and makes your Saturday feel intentional instead of rushed.
If you’ve never visited, or you’ve driven past without stopping, here’s exactly what you can expect and why it’s worth building into your spa day.
When and Where the Burbank Farmers Market Happens
The Burbank Farmers Market takes place every Saturday morning from 8:00am to 12:30pm, rain or shine. It’s located at Olive Avenue and North Glenoaks Boulevard in downtown Burbank, right near my spa and surrounded by easy parking options.
Because it runs during the same hours many guests schedule their appointments, it’s incredibly easy to plan around:
-
Early appointment? Visit the market afterward and take home fresh finds
-
Late morning appointment? Stop by the market first, then come relax
-
Mid-morning booking? Do both without rushing
You don’t need to make a separate trip — it’s all right here in the same area.
What You Can Buy at the Burbank Farmers Market
One of the best things about this market is the variety. Everything is California-grown or locally made, and many of the vendors have been coming here for decades. Availability changes with the seasons, which is part of the charm.
Here’s what you’ll typically find when you visit.
Fresh, Seasonal Produce
Produce is the heart of the Burbank Farmers Market. Depending on the time of year, you can expect:
-
Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries
-
Stone fruit like peaches, plums, and nectarines
-
Citrus fruits including oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and mandarins
-
Avocados, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and peppers
-
Leafy greens like kale, spinach, chard, and lettuces
-
Root vegetables such as carrots, beets, radishes, and sweet potatoes
Everything is picked fresh and brought straight from the farm. Guests love stopping by after their appointment to grab produce for the week while they’re already out.
Farm-Fresh Eggs, Honey, and Pantry Staples
Beyond fruits and vegetables, you’ll also find everyday essentials that taste better when they’re locally sourced:
-
Fresh eggs
-
Raw and flavored local honey
-
Jams, preserves, and spreads
-
Olive oils and specialty vinegars
These items are easy to carry and perfect to grab on your way home after your spa visit.
Fresh Fish Available at the Market
One thing many guests are pleasantly surprised by is the fresh fish available at the Burbank Farmers Market.
Wild-Caught Seafood:
- Salmon
- Tuna
- Shrimp
- Poke
- Ceveche
- Seasonal Catches
BONUS: I have a refrigerator available for your purchases, so it’s an easy to stop before or after your appointment.
Head home with fresh ingredients for dinner without adding another errand to your day!
Baked Goods and Artisan Treats
Many Saturdays include vendors offering baked or specialty items such as:
-
Fresh bread and rolls
-
Pastries and baked treats
-
Specialty desserts (availability varies week to week)
If you have a later appointment, picking up a treat before your service is a nice way to start the morning. If you’re coming after, it’s a great reward to take home.
Flowers, Plants, and Herbs
One of my favorite things to see guests carrying out of the market is fresh flowers. You’ll often find:
-
Seasonal bouquets
-
Potted plants
-
Fresh herbs
Flowers pair beautifully with a self-care day. Many guests tell me they love taking something home that makes their space feel just as good as they do after their appointment.
Why the Market Is So Easy to Visit on Appointment Day
I hear this all the time: “I didn’t realize the market was right here.”
That convenience is what makes it such a great addition to your spa visit.
It Fits Naturally Into Your Schedule
The market hours line up perfectly with Saturday appointments. You’re already dressed, already parked, and already in the neighborhood — no extra planning required.
Instead of feeling like one more errand, it feels like part of your day.
Parking Once, Doing More
Downtown Burbank offers several nearby parking options, including public lots and street parking. Guests appreciate being able to park once and enjoy both their appointment and the market without hopping back in the car.
A Calm, Feel-Good Transition
Coming before your appointment, the market helps you slow down and ease into your day.
Coming after your appointment, it keeps that relaxed feeling going while you browse, walk, and enjoy the morning.
It’s a smooth transition either way — no rushing, no pressure.
A Market With a Purpose
The Burbank Farmers Market is one of the oldest certified farmers markets in Southern California, with a history of more than 40 years. It’s operated as a non-profit, and proceeds support the Providence Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation, helping provide care for people in our community who need it.
The market also accepts EBT and WIC, making fresh food more accessible to local families.
When you shop here, you’re not just buying groceries — you’re supporting farmers, neighbors, and community programs that matter.
Tips to Make the Most of Your Visit
If you’re planning to pair the market with your appointment, here are a few simple tips:
-
Bring a reusable tote or bag
-
Arrive earlier for the best selection
-
Perishable purchases can be placed in my refrigerator if you’re visiting before your service
-
Save shopping for after your appointment if you want to relax beforehand
There’s no wrong way to do it — just choose what feels best for your schedule.
