Jacksonville is home to several fantastic markets and one is the Farmer’s Market near downtown Jacksonville. It’s a familiar spot where local farmers sell their fresh vegetables and produce. It is known as “Florida’s oldest farmer’s market”. It’s the Farmer’s Market at it’s best!
Buying local is the hip-thing these days. With many choices shoppers can compare and buy the best deals. At the farmer’s market the shoppers can decide how to get the best bang for their buck. I suggest trying this “oldest outdoor farmers market in Florida” or the one in your own back yard! Most all cities and towns have a farmer’s market.
The Farmers Market at It’s Best!
Located at at 1810 W Beaver Street, Jacksonville, Florida 32209, The Jacksonville Farmers Market is a place you can buy directly from over 200 farmers. It’s open year around from dawn to dusk. It has been open since 1938, and this farmers market has left its mark. If you are looking for fresh produce, seafood or plants, it’s here!
The market is a covered outdoor farmers market with tons of parking. It will help you to bring a few recycled bags to make carrying your purchase easier. With competitive pricing within the market, it makes thing fun to find while you’re looking for the best deal. If you haven’t been to the Farmer’s Market on Beaver Street, make a plan to stop by.
And, if you haven’t eaten, no worries, Andy’s Farmers Market Grill will fill you up. They offer breakfast, lunch, or a snack to enjoy while browsing the market. If you have a little one like me, its a mini field trip. My husband and I spent time explaining the fruits, letting him taste and decide if he liked the taste. And if you’re like me, you’ll bring along an extra shirt and a few wipes for the juicy items. Yes, we had to make that change!
If you are visiting Jacksonville, Florida please stop by The Jacksonville Farmers Market and show your support to our local farmers. You can take in the smell of herbs and fruit, enjoy the colorful produce displayed so lovely and taste a bit while browsing. This is the Farmers Market at it’s best! I love returning home and placing all my fresh goodies in the refrigerator. Not only does it taste good, it always looks so pretty and inviting
