Bearss Groves might have the prettiest pumpkins I've ever seen. I wanted to get Halloween pumpkins with the kids. I also would like to get a cute autumn picture or two of them without the whole place being a zoo. And I didn't want to drive too far out of Tampa. Bearss Groves fit the bill. It's a cute farmer's market with plenty of very attractive pumpkins, a pretty set up for a picture out front, and a reasonable distance from 275. The pumpkins were all in great shape, no rotten pumpkins mixed in. My husband commented that he's never seen such a nice selection of pumpkins in one place. They also have some other local produce and items, many at very reasonable prices. I got some good Florida honey and locally produced jam for much lower prices than you'd fine at a grocery store. read more

Bearss Groves - Farmers Market Near Me - Tampa, Florida

GO SUPPORT! They lost about $40k in product due to the hurricane and insurance doesn't cover it! They have TONS of great quality pumpkins right now! Love their eggs. I wish they would grow more of their own produce. I like that they offer items from local farms and businesses but it doesn't seem that all of their produce is local. Service is always good. Cute spot but I REALLY wish they would gravel their entrance. The divots in the terrain to park are not fun! read more

Disappointed. Produce used to be perfect. We have received moldy/rotten produce more often than not recently. I have turned to checking it over more recently. Our last and final visit we were checking potatoes. I spent some time inspecting them as we have had bad luck in the past. I found the basket that I felt was better than the others. The lady at check out wasn't very friendly. That is fine, not looking for a friend. However she then asked me if I had only one basket of potatoes. I said yes. She then looked in the bag and said that is an awfully big amount for one basket. I do nit think anything of it and tell her yeah I guess, I inspected all of them. I paid and left. My husband and daughter felt the interaction was odd and that she was accusing us of stealing potatoes. Upon reflection of the entire interaction I agree with them. She was borderline rude to start and then questioning me over a small basket of $3 potatoes is uncalled for. We have been shoppers for years. Prior to new ownership we loved it. Now we will not be back. ​​ read more

I so enjoy stopping by Bearss Groves. The staff is so friendly and helpful...even smile in this heat...lol. I have been going there since the 70's and so enjoy the selection and the ability to buy in small quantities, not like in many of the stores where items are packaged. That's how I create my stirfry dinners...one of this, one of that. Make your next "field trip" (as I call it now) to Bearss Groves!! read more

Came here today in search of a new Produce stand. The selection here was good considering the time of year it is here. The employees were helpful and available if needed. The selection of produce and other local food items was quite nice. They also sold a decent selection of plants and potted herbs. The layout is nicely done with the only exception being the price placards. Some were the wrong product and some prices were incorrect but all in all I will be back. read more

The season is early, but the products are better than expected. Fresh strawberries, breads and peppers. The staff is helpful and nice working in a very clean environment. Today there we no additional vendors and there is plenty of room. We will return. read more

Local farmer's products market. It's a small outdoor market that does have a covering. Parking is in a dirt lot. Depending on the day/time it may be busy but you get through rather quick. They do have some dairy and premade items as well as some plants. You can check their Facebook and IG pages for updates. We've come here a few times given it's so close to home. The staff is always very friendly. Prices are good and quality of fruits and vegetables is excellent. Closed Monday and Tuesday. read more

First and last time here. I thought I'd stop and support a small local shop on my way through town. Prices were slightly higher than I was expecting but & the produce seemed okay but decently stocked. Facility is large and has potential but the lady at the desk with dark hair treated me like I was an incompetent idiot by her comment to me. Took me by surprise & I should have just walked out but was kinda in shock. I understand people may be going through things but sometimes it's better to say nothing than soemthing - just reflected poorly on the business. read more

I have been here many time including when they did not sold the orange grove next door. Now the grove area becomes the small family home community. The grove have good selection on orange. Now not sure they got the orange. The time we have visited, they have the honey bell. But the price is about $1 a honey bell orange. It is kind of expensive. They do have sugar cane soda if you look at the the refrigerator. They still carry many veggies items. I like that each items is clean and nicely displayed. They even have peel garlic if you want the convenience. I see huge carrot. It look like good food for horses. The also fresh portobello mushroom. Look big. You also can get some cactus to go and house indoors plants. read more

Came here for the first time today and was impressed with their selection of fresh produce. Everything was organized well and clearly marked with the price. In addition to the fresh produce, they sell cheese curds, Amish butter, fresh pickles, local beef and bread. The staff was friendly and helpful and we didn't have to wait long at the checkout. You know you are going to enjoy the experience when you are greeted with a magnificent 400 year old live oak. It was an enjoyable experience being surrounded by beautiful nature while shopping. I am looking forward to coming back again soon. read more

This was a great stop while we were in Tampa! Wonderful produce, good quality frozen meats and yummy boiled peanuts! They staff was very friendly and helpful! read more

Lots of fresh produce! Wish I could've picked up more delicata squash but I bought the last 2 they had. They had elderberry (pricey so beware). But worth it if it staves off a virus or cold. Everything looked fresh and delicious and they had a lot of bread and other items of cheese and eggs all refrigerated. Support your local produce and farms!!! read more

Came here for the first time today and I loved it! I thought they only sold fruit and eggs and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of items. I bought local honey watermelon, amish butter, local eggs, sourdough bread and more. Everything was so fresh and amazing. I will definitely be doing most of my groceries here from now on. read more

I remember my experience being pleasant when I came here last year, but I have not been back there since. Recently I have been on a raw dairy kick, and I found out that Bearss Groves carries my favorite local farms products. So I decided to go today (Tuesday) and purchase a few gallons of milk. I headed over there, and as I was driving I tried calling their phone number (found it online) multiple times but no one answered. I just figured the employees were busy because both Apple and Google maps showed that they were open. I pulled up and the gates were open, but the parking lot is empty! I live 25 minutes away and came during regular business hours, so I was frustrated to say the least. I wanted to confirm that it was closed, so I did a little exploring and literally zero employees or customers were there. I was upset to say the least! I tried knocking on the front door of the house that is on the property but no one answered even though there was a car in the driveway lol. I was disappointed, but even if I wanted to buy something I couldn't. Finally as I am pulling out onto the main road and setting up my directions back home, I look in my side mirror and see some lady staring my car down like a hawk from the balcony of the house like this lady seriously couldn't have just answered the door and helped me out!! I am confident that she is associated with the farm considering that she lives right next to it on the same property. Like I was just trying to purchase some of their products, that is not how you run a small business. If the owner(s) is reading this, please adjust your hours online so confused customers don't show up unwanted! I only found out about their actual operating hours because after some digging I found them on social media. They are Wednesday-Sunday. Lol I am going to go again tomorrow and hopefully there will be employees there this time. Whoever owns/runs this farm needs to adjust their hours! read more

Staff always friendly, produce always fresh. Boiled peanuts, local-raised organic meats, Mike's Pies, and the most delicious, jeweled local-grown tomatoes. I serving them in the candy jar. So very fortunate to have this food option available. read more

I love this spot! Everyone who works there is super friendly and helpful, the quality and prices are great, and what's better than shopping local? They also have breads/bagels from other cool spots! read more

Produce is fresh in good condition and we'll looked after with a wide variety of stuff. Prices are excellent Love it. I'll be back. read more

What's not to like about Bearss Groves? The family is an institution to Tampa and so is this (not so little) stand. I am lucky to live in the area and when so inspired, I usually walk to it. I'm not going to lie, but the best of all time of year to stop by is Citrus Season. There is no better place to pick up your Pink or White Grapefruit, Tangelos, Honey-bells, Tangerines, Navels and the list goes on. The staff is awesome and willing to help and they also have refrigeration units in case you need to pick up a gallon of milk, cheese or yogurt. When the fall hits, they have rows and rows of pumpkins and when it gets below 80 in Florida, you can always stop by and pick up your Christmas trees! read more

Bearss Groves - Great fruits and veggies! - Farmers Market Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Back in the day in the late 1800's, there were acres and acres of oranges at Bearrs Grove. To their dismay, the grove was wiped out by a virus. At this time, there is an awesome produce stand. Of any produce stand I have been to in the area this one has the most fruits and veggies. They also have different fruits I have not seen sold before like prickly pears, fragrant pears, and many places do not have persimmons or lemon plums. Everything is so organized in whatever type of fruit they are, so you can actually see all the different types of variety. There are also flowers like orchids, roses, and bouquets of flowers. There are different types of amish foods like cheeses, and deli items. There is also fresh squeezed juices. Get the tangerine juice, and you will be tangerine citrus happy. Try the salsas, they have a mango salsa. Anything mango catches my eye. They have local jams, jellies, and sauces. You can also have a picnic at Bearrs Grove, and bring your family, and your doggie. There are picnic tables, and Snooties BBQ is parked in their parking lot in the winter. They are there from late November until mid April, then back to Ohio. read more

I grew up going to Bearss Groves when it was literal orange groves. We would go and get bushels of oranges fresh weekly. As a Tampa native it was disappointing to see the groves demolished for housing but its nice that this place has found a way to still survive. I am not often in the area but when I am I always stop in for boiled peanuts, fresh okra, and whatever produce is in season. The produce does tend to be more expensive than the grocery store but that's expected given the much smaller scale at which they are able to produce their goods. During the holidays you can also find Christmas trees, pumpkins, poinsettias etc. for sale. read more

Love this place! Great fruits and veggies, but they have wonderful additional items including great cheese and bread selections. We are regulars and are never disappointed! read more

A place only locals seem to know about, it offers a great selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. Their prices are usually a little better than grocery stores, but the produce they sell is always a LOT better. Fresher, tastier, and everything seems to last longer, plus they have a surprisingly large variety of items. I love that they also have refrigerated cases so you can pick up items to complete your meal, instead of having to make a stop at a regular grocery store, too. The stand also sells random interesting items, many from local independent companies, like salsa, spicy pickles, jams, and flavored mini bread loaves. This is also a great spot to get seasonal items: I have purchased cactus here in the summer, pumpkins here in the fall, and they have great deals on poinsettias of every size in the winter. The parking lot is all dirt covered, and definitely rough and bumpy, so go slow, but it is totally worth it. read more

Nice, conveniently located produce market with a wide variety of fruits and Vegetables. They also sell Cacti and Succulents. They have a refrigerator section with a wide variety of mushrooms, eggs, pies and many other items. They are in a clash with the city right now over zoning. Hopefully they will not be forced to close. Tampa has lost a lot of fine produce markets over the last 10 years, and should be doing much more to stop that trend. Check them out. You will not be disappointed. read more

Best family run farmer's market in town. Long history. Developers challenging the family for their land. I am happy to see the developers lose and watch this little business survive and thrive. Plus the over 400 year old tree on site is very very cool. The vegetables are fresh and plentiful and the added extras are always interesting. read more

We stumbled on this Market on a Rainy Sunday. I had gone by it before when it wasn't open. However, I really noticed it this time, it was moderately busy with people buying their produce for the week ahead. They have a lot of different produce things you wouldn't find in your local grocery store and most of what you would. They sell a variety of local Jams and butters, such as apple butter and pumpkin butree. We got some fresh fruits and veggies and even some bags of dried fruit... Kiwi, strawberries, and pineapples. The dried fruit was really good! We also got a Dominican Tiger Eggplant. It's a little sweeter than a regular eggplant and was really delicious once we cooked it up! The market is cute and has just a few workers, for $1 you can buy a basket to put your goods in. I suggest bringing a reusable bags with you or a basket if you have one already. I would say it is worth the drive North to get your produce for the most part. Some of the prices aren't great but others are way better than the local grocery store. They also carry a lot of organic options. We got fresh herbs, the basil was so cheap and absolutely wonderful! I really enjoyed this market... Will have to go back soon!! read more

I looooove this place! This was thee best find when I was living in Carrollwood. Great produce for a great price, this place definitely beats any big name supermarket and they last longer too! I don't know what but I always feel like all my veggies and fruit go bad faster from Publix and you pay a nice penny for them too. We just went back today for the first time in a while and we are so pleased to see that they have a new greenhouse and will start to grow their very own produce as well as selling other local produce. They also sell some banging banana nut bread and many other flavors too so you really got to try them all. read more

A BIG produce arena, that has been around for decades. You can usually find anything in season here. I have been going there st of my life & seen many changes. Adding plants, herbs & refrigerator cases is great. Continuing to raise their prices is poor business. There prices have gotten so high, you can materialisticly compare it to premium organic stores. No bueno! I will continue to stop in when in area, but no more special trips...nothing that special. What's a girl to do? Finding affordable ftesh fruits & veggies can be a challenge. read more

A Hidden Gem in Plain Sight Drove past this place for years and never thought about stopping and then one day I did... and I will never be the same. While it was not that life changing, Bearss Groves has become an important stop for our family. The produce selection is always fresh... much more so than Walmart and even better than Publix... IMHO. I also enjoy how knowledgeable the folks are that work there. They really know what they grow. Which is pretty amazing these days. There are also some incredible bagels that they carry that you have to try and some frozen homemade pies that look like the devil herself made them. Quick checkout every time... and always a smile. I bet you are thinking about stopping now, too. P.S. Try their juice... it's what started Bearss Groves in the first place. You will never buy Tropicana again... GUARANTEED read more

I've never been too impressed with the local fruit stands in the Tampa Bay Area, but this one is probably the best. I do love their selection of fruits and vegetable and they seem to have better prices than other places I've gone. I always go here for their selection of potatoes and sweet potatoes. During the fall they always have a lot of nice pumpkins and gourds. They have lots of local honeys, breads, and other sweet treats. This is a easy place to get in and out of and the parking lot is large. Good place to stop on the way home for produce in stead of standing in lines at publix. read more

Adore this farm stand located off Bearss Avenue. They offer a vast variety of pumpkins in the Fall and all size Christmas trees right after Thanksgiving. Bearss Groves offers a little of everything from Orange Blossom honey, collards, and all the farm fresh items you can think of that are grown locally. My favorite items of all are the flats of strawberries. You can taste and smell the freshness -- picked that day and now being sold to us. The corn on the cob is some of the most delicious I have ever tasted. Usually they have yellow, white and combination of white/yellow -- again right off the farm. But my best find yet .... the Sunset Salsa made right here in Tampa. No preservatives and super tasty. Nothing better than having some hot corn chips lathered in some Sunset Salsa. Staff are very friendly and always willing to assist with any questions. Wished we lived closer because I would be stopping here daily to pick up delicious and fresh produce. read more

Bearss Groves - Fresh delicious salsa made right here in Tampa. Yum!!!!! - Farmers Market Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This is one of my very favorite farm stores in the Tampa Bay area. Bearrs Groves sits on a plot of land in northern Carrollwood which has been owned by the Bearss family for more than 100 years. Over the years the former orange grove has been parceled away, but the Bearss family still owns a 40-acre plot that now makes up the fields and the outer buildings which support this Florida-fresh fruit & veggie stand. You'll find Bearss Grove along Bearss Avenue at the intersection of Lake Magdalene Boulevard. That puts it just east of the intersection of Ehrlich Road and Dale Mabry (in case you're not familiar with the area). Watch for the HUGE Live Oak tree near the fields, and that's where you'll find the farm store. Under the roof are rows of the freshest vegetables, fruits, fresh-squeezed juices, honeys, locally-produced cheeses, and other assorted goodies that just came off of a nearby farm. Grab a basket and pick up the makings for a great salad, or a vegetarian meal, or incredibly fresh citrus, melons, berries, and the list goes on and on. Out in the parking lot is a trailer serving fresh-squeezed juices, smoothies, and some incredibly good barbecue. On the weekends they have a long line of happy customers waiting their turn for a delicious drink with a plate of food. During the summer months you'll also be able to pick up some smoked fish filets and smoked fish dip. In the fall you'll find pumpkins, evergreen wreaths, and Christmas trees. Definitely worth a visit if you want to support the farm-to-table initiative and find some very fresh food without driving clear out to Plant City. read more

I've driven by this farmer's market a million times but never made a stop... I'm glad I did today! My friend and I were on the way back home from a dog event at Whole Foods and decided to bop inside. We can't resist a cute display of pumpkins and an outdoor market that offers fresh local stuff AND allows dogs. The selection and prices were pretty good in my opinion, and my friend picked up some produce items that she couldn't find at the grocery store. Everything is beautifully organized and easy to navigate. Best yet... the market and employees are super dog friendly! We even met another pitbull there who was only a few weeks old. One employee remarked that we should bring back the dog again sometime... and we definitely will. See you then. read more

A cute place with a variety of fruits, vegetables and plants. For fall they have a pumpkin patch with so many pumpkin choices. They also have a cute set up for pictures. The best part is that they have a 1,000 lb pumpkin part of the display to take pictures with. read more

Bears Groves is always a fun place to stop for a quick shop to check out what fresh seasonal produce they have. A lot of times, they have fruits and veggies you can't easily find in your typical grocery stores (like ube and Romansch broccoli, for example). I have to make this place a regular stop now that my husband has realized his deep love of cheese curds, which are available here in various flavors: regular, taco, cajun, and garlic. They also have fun locally made things, like Le' Anns Cheesecakes in the fridge. I've tried a bunch of their apple butters, pumpkin butters, jams, and other Amish Wedding products and they are all incredible! If you haven't been here before, it's worth stopping in for some goodies! read more

I love this place. Veggies and fruit galore. Many options that I have not seen in traditional grocery stores. Some garden grown and local things thrown in. Stick to things that are in season, eat them quick (their food goes bad a little quicker than a traditional grocery store) and you shouldn't be disappointed. They also have great aloe drinks, which I haven't found anywhere else, and fresh squeezed juices that are top in their class. read more

I have been coming here forrrrreeeevvvveeerrrr. Almost everything they have is locally sourced. And delicious! At Christmas, I buy all my tomatoes and herbs for the lasagna I make. All year long I buy fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and carrots. I buy the Chill Dill pickles made here, pineapple banana bread from Helen's Bakery in Clearwater, multi grain bread from Village Bread in Jax, Amish butter from Cannon's in Plant City, strawberries from Plant City, apples, blackberries, pineapple... You name it, they have it. Most of it is from right here in Tampa Bay, but ALL OF IT is delicious! read more
