They also sell local produce and sides of beef. The staff gives you buckets to fill with strawberries There are three different types of strawberries spread out in different sections. Some are sweeter than others. There were no signs posted to differentiate them. . We picked all types. After you are finished they will bag and weigh your strawberries, and you will pay by weight. Picking strawberries is a good deal of work, walking on uneven ground and constantly bending to pick. The season runs from December to March, so the temperature is nice. The best way to store the strawberries is in the refrigerator, unwashed, and covered. The ones we picked have so far lasted one week and still taste fresh.

The local farm near me for strawberry picking seems to never be open when both my hubby and I are…read moreoff work. JG Ranch is about an hour and a half away from me, and was the only place open when we had the time, and it was definitely worth the drive. The ranch was pretty easy to find, just a drive down a dirt road following signs to the farm. You pass some chickens on the drive up that you can park and feed for no charge. There's a mailbox that was full of bread upon our arrival, and we also brought our own bread scraps as the website said we could. Pulling up to the farm, you see lots of rows of beautiful bushes as well as a bunch of big ol cows and some babies. :) You can feed the cows for free from a bin of leaves or have a little lunch at one of the tables by the cows. The farm itself is lovely. They're currently in their strawberry season, where you can hand pick strawberries into a bucket, and you're charged by pound. $3.75/lb. Not bad! Behind the entrance they had other veggies available for picking such as kale, rainbow chard, cabbage, lettuce, etc. When we came, a very friendly woman showed us the four different strawberries they had available: wild strawberries, strawberries for chocolate dipping, big giant strawberries good for making juices or drinks, and super juicy strawberries that are supposed to spoil faster. She was super helpful and showed us how the farm was also labeled with markers so we would always know which strawberries are in front of us. One of the farmers was in the back tending to the strawberries and showed us an easy way to pick them off the stem, and he also gave me a big beautiful strawberry that he picked for himself. Paying was easy as they took card with no fee. The payment area was inside a shop with other fresh produce and some baked goods. I know here you can also inquire about fresh meats. Overall we had a wonderful experience here picking strawberries. They also have a blackberry and blueberry season!

I look forward to going back and trying some local produce, whatever is in season. A tip: you *can* park on the grass right where you see the sign on College Ave. or you can turn right after the sign and turn right again at the next corner, which will bring you to their parking lot and the main entrance of the market.

Visited the Winter Garden Farmers Market this past weekend, and I have to say that this is probably…read morethe best farmers market in the Central FL area. Parking was easy, free, and conveniently located to all the festivities which is a huge plus. This is also one of the few local markets where I've actually seen a large selection of fresh produce and and farm goods available. It was refreshing to see so many people bring their market bags on wheels, wagons, etc. ready to purchase fresh fruits & veggies and support our local farmers. Beautiful watermelons, tomatoes, papaya, lettuces, corn, peppers, zucchini, and more. There's a good mix of vendors ranging from jewelry and handcrafted goods to food trucks and specialty food items. We got mango coladas, mango flower with tajin, breakfast tacos, and of course, kettle corn. Huge plus that there is the downtown splash pad for all the kids to play right in the middle of all the action. It was a HOT one and this was a great way for my little guy to cool off and burn some energy while we sat and enjoyed our food. If you have kids, I highly suggest they wear their swimsuits and bring some towels to dry off.

Pricing can be a little on the higher side, but I think that has a lot to do with the area. A great place for a Sunday morning stroll to pick up some local produce and things for the week to come Super casual parking can be tough at times, but if you go early enough, you can get in and out before it gets too crowded. I would say out of all the farmers markets I have been to this one seems to get the most crowded around 10 AM.

This week I bought pickled onions from the kindest gentleman. And two small loafs of sourdough bread. Oh and I bought a dozen organic eggs from a sweet lady. I never know what I'll find here as some vendors come and go, but I sure appreciate so many showing up each time. The fresh market also has food vendors which is great if you go around lunch time. The event runs from 10-2. It's a perfect opportunity to support small businesses and get the family out to enjoy open air.

It did not disappoint…read more On 2 occasions we've showed up closer to the end of the market and most of the venders were already gone. We showed up around 11am on an empty stomach and enjoyed a few treats and took home local aged cheddar, peach & habenero jelly, and a rum cake. The chicken & vegetable dumplings from the Thai food stand was our fave. Along with the $1 lumpia. Finally got to try a lobster roll made from Maine lobsters too. Pricey but it was bread stuff with fresh lobster. Highly recommend checking out the cheese lodge tent. She's 3rd generation cheese monger as she calls herself and ages her own cheese and she gave us a sample of a cheddar she had been aging and it was SO GOOD I took home a block. I can't wait to go back and buy the homemade fresh caught fish dip she raved about!

It's a small outdoor market held Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in downtown Dunedin. Since I arrived right at opening, it was pretty quiet, which made it nice to walk around and browse the vendors. The market itself is on the smaller side, but it has a really charming feel and fits perfectly with Dunedin's quaint, walkable small-town vibe. The community atmosphere felt very friendly, and there were a variety of vendors selling food, local goods, and other items. I only had time for a quick visit this time but still ended up picking up a few things. Next time I plan to stay longer, try some of the food vendors, and explore more of the booths. I'll definitely be back and will update my review after a longer visit.

This is evident by the huge Highland Games and Festival held in nearby Highlander Park every April which hosts hundreds of guests. There are so many restaurants, breweries, gift shops, art galleries and museums that you will definitely find something that interests you. It's a fun place to visit during the day and at night. I highly suggest wearing comfortable walking shoes. It's a close walk to the marina and St Joseph's Sound as well and It's gorgeous views. Some of the more popular gift shops are Tipsy Mermaids, Our House and Spoiled Rotten. Among some of the best restaurants are Crown&Bull, Seariders Restaurant and my personal favorite since I got married there, Bon Appetit which is located right on the water with beautiful views. If you're looking for some delicious desserts look no further than Kookie Krums, Strachan's Ice Cream and desserts or Ice&Cream Creamery. If you are a Beatles fan you will find the Penny Lane Beatles Museum here. Downtown Dunedin is also the home to many arts and crafts festivals held throughout the year. Parking can be found in the Monroe Street parking garage. There are also many nice hotels nearby in case you're interested in spending some time there. Beaches are super close and easy accessible.
