Even though we didn't buy a whole lot, I was looking at everything because I knew I'd review it. Everything was clean and fresh and there was very little that looked like it had been damaged or sitting for too long. We bought some items for fresh salads and also some veggies to make on the grill with kebobs that night. Everything was great. My Mom and I split a sandwich - Ham and Turkey, cheese, lettuce, onions, mayo and oil and vinegar on fresh bread. Yeah, if I DID live here, I know where I'd get a sandwich. Fresh produce, great sandwiches, fast and friendly service with pretty good prices. You could do a LOT worse than going here. Keep up the great work and I hope you guys are going strong the next time I come for a visit.

We needed a place to hang out while my cat got serviced…read more I found them via Yelp and took the chance. Their door advertises these hotcakes that are 1"thick. So what the heck , we ordered a 2 stack of Pineapple uoside down cake, and those were simply a woek of art. I irdered a summer salad with chicken ,fresh fruit, etc and it was soo good! So much flavor in every bite. My husband had a Huge burger. Service was awesome, food was amazing we will be back

Don't follow the directions on Yelp--this restaurant is located at the end of the strip mall, not…read morein the middle. The dining room is large and open with plenty of seating, including both tables and booths. Service was a little slow, but with only two servers working, it was understandable. They serve Coke products, which is always a plus for me. I appreciated being able to order the turkey club without any sides since I don't eat large portions. If you're hungry, the sandwiches normally come with two sides. I also ordered the French toast ($7.56) with no extras. It comes topped with powdered sugar, but I opted out. It was served on a small plate with no room for anything else. The French toast was made with standard bread and egg batter--nothing fancy, but it was prepared well and tasted good. The turkey club was substantial and satisfying. I would have preferred it cut into quarters like a traditional club sandwich, and the ingredients should have extended closer to the edges of the bread rather than being centered. It also could have used a bit more turkey. That said, the sandwich was juicy, flavorful, and tasted exactly like a turkey club should. Overall, a solid meal with generous portions, plenty of seating, and a comfortable atmosphere.

My earlier reviews are from when this was Fernandos and had friendly staff, a falling apart produce…read morearea and lots of love. It changed hands and now has a "cute" little produce area and unfriendly staff. I have basically stopped going because you just do not feel the love anymore. They really have to change the lady who is always there because she is so unwelcoming. It's such a turn off. I'd rather just go to Publix and that is saying a lot for me because I adore supporting local farmers. Ick. They really lost the charm since the sale despite their "cute" / updated farm stand. Hours expanded at least. But ick. I leave there unhappy after interacting with her.

The Ocala Downtown Market puts the actual "farm" back in farmer's market…read more Unlike those pseudo farmers markets out in California where people discuss their heirloom tomatoes, this place is where folks casually mention their cattle count and debate chicken acquisitions like they're discussing the weather. But don't let the farm talk fool you. There's serious variety here: grass fed beef suppliers, fresh eggs, wellness drink makers pushing sea moss and charcoal, potters working live, pottery, kitchen gear, clothing, and trinkets galore. It's a whole ecosystem of real farm life. I felt like I'd stepped directly into that world without actually being at a farm, which was wonderful until I realized my outfit didn't get the memo in my very short mini dress. Cute as can be, but everyone else was in jeans and tees. I stuck out like a designer purse at a livestock auction. Next time I'm definitely dressing down to blend in. The market is bustling and packed with options. You can skip Publix entirely and do all your grocery shopping here, just cheaper. Everything's cheaper. This is legitimately as close to farm life as you can get without actually stepping in cow manure. ... trust me, one wrong step in a mini dress and you will be fishing a high heel out of a very fresh cow pie.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I have visited the Saturday market about 5-10 times now. I have been here for other events as well…read more I cannot believe I have not reviewed the market yet. This is one of my favorite things to do in Ocala. The market is only open on Saturdays from 9am-2pm, rain or shine. Other events are held here all other dates and times. I cannot stand the heat so I appreciate that the market is under a covered pavilion. There are some vendors that set up outside the pavilion because there is not enough room. The parking is free as well, with plenty of options in the surrounding areas. You don't have to walk far either. The market is extensive enough that you could easily spend 2-3 hours there. There are several food trucks you can purchase food and drinks from. Sipping Grounds is my favorite! They offer snacks, as well as coffee drinks, beer, wine, and mimosas. There are a variety of vendors, with many being staples each time I have visited. I usually stop by and purchase from the same vendors. There are several vendors selling vegetables and fruits, a farmer who sells cheese he makes, a seafood vendor, a vendor who sells dips, spices, and seasonings, another vendor sells oils & vinegars, bakery items are sold by several vendors, and usually there are a couple of vendors specializing in doggie treats. You can also sample a lot of these items, which is awesome. Of course there are vendors who sell jewelry, artwork, decor, pottery, etc.
