The idea of the market was formed to provide an additional source of grocery to residents of Lomita, where there are few supermarkets, said Erik Bowman, a member of the Lomita Chamber of Commerce B…
The Lomita Farmers Market, launched during the peak of the pandemic, permanently closed on Sunday, Aug. 27, due to not enough community support and competition from other markets in the area.
“Basically the talk on social media was that Lomita was a food desert, so in 2019, we came up with the idea of creating a farmer’s market,” Bowman said Tuesday. Lomita Farmers Market officially opened its doors to the community on July 5, 2020 at 24300 Narbonne Ave., on the front lawn of the Lomita City Hall building.
“A lot of our vendors went back to where they came from, which was like Long Beach and Torrance and Palos Verdes and even the Village in Redondo,” Bowman said. “We couldn’t keep attracting more customers, because we have a limited pool of vendors.” The City of Lomita is also working to bring additional supermarkets to the area in the next few years to provide residents with more grocery sources. Potential vendors include Target and Grocery Outlet, Butzine said.“I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going to be closing down!!! That had soooo much potential for Lomita to have such a Wonderful Event For A Sunny Sunday Morning!!!,” wrote Facebook user Paul Saben.
