Any afternoon spent at the Original Farmers Market is full of auspicious deliciousness, fortuitous moments, and an air of cheer that feels rather charmed.
Call it the spirit of the storied spot, which has been bringing joy to the corner of Third & Fairfax for, wait for it, almost 88 years.
That's an important consideration as we begin the Lunar New Year, on Feb. 1, 2022, for that fortunate number will appear in several dishes and drinks sold around the history-rich public market.

Over 20 vendors, in fact, will participate in the week-plus happening, which will include deals on main meals, desserts, and all sorts of fresh fruits, too.

Other around-the-market items in the promotion meatballs, apples, pickles, coffee, and more. Oh yes, and few non-food goodies, like a Lucky Cat Sticker Box at Sticker Planet (the price is $2.88).
Adding beauty and flair to the eight-day delight, which will run from Feb. 1 through 8? Red lanterns and other decorations, including a chalk mural of a tiger by artist Jennifer Ripassa.
