The owner told us she is pretty new to farming and they have a "farm stand" to purchase their goods. Instead of a CSA where you get whatever they give you, she sends an email out with what they have and you can pick and choose and let them know when you want to pick up your items (they have set hours all week). Nice setup if you live on the Westside!

It's ok I'll be back and will update my review with my thoughts but for now I'll focus on "The Green Spot" which was open and one of the vendors I really wanted to check out (we love plants)! We met Jen the owner who was very sweet, friendly and welcoming. She let us try the daily lemonade flavors which were all quite unique, we all got our lemonades and omg I'm in love with the guava/lemonade topped with blueberries, rosemary and a pasta straw! It was super refreshing! We just moved to the area & it was great learning about the history of the shop and other surrounding facts. We bought some herbs and we'll be back to get plants once I've got time to tend to them as moves can be very hectic and I'm still getting settled. I'm bringing all our plant loving friends to this cute lil shop with a cool vibe that very much reminded me of Key West. Try their lemonades!

This is a great little farmers market easily accessed from Jax and OP at the orange park town hall…read moreon Saturdays. During my first visit I was surprised by the amount of vendors here. The farmers market has produce, live music, entertainment for kids, food products, jewelry, etc. Although the riverside arts market is my favorite, the Orange Park farmers market is a good local second option.

I did not know this place existed! So there is Clay county then there is the town of Orange Park…read more So I stopped by the town hall the other day. They have everything you need for your business in one spot. Get your water account setup, zoning, fire inspection. You name it they got you covered. I was so impressed with the amount of things you can get done in one building. We need to go back to the go old days! And Mrs. Louis is the sweetest Lady. She answered all my stupid questions and even enter my information in right there on the spot. Great southern hospitality.

They grow more than 50% of flowers on their farm and if you ever get a chance to buy a bouquet, you won't be sorry. Absolutely as gorgeous as their produce! I happen to visit their booth at the Jax Arts District Farmers Market in Riverside on Wednesdays and the woman working it is very knowledgeable about the farm and agriculture. The actual farmer wasn't present, but I believe she said that he has been working his farm for over a decade. That's pretty impressive and very progressive especially for the Jacksonville area seeing that I grew up south of Gainesville where most of the bigger farms are located. The prices are so reasonable for the quality and varieties offered here. Just check out their in-season produce and flowers so you'll know what I mean. I took photos. :)

I was trying to stick to a grocery list, so I only got French breakfast radishes and a red onion, but they were very friendly and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for them again at future markets. Maybe next time I'll even be brave enough to buy the gorgeous Chinese broccoli they were selling for just a few dollars!

I'm always looking for cool products and ingredients unique to the South. There's so much to see here! Asides from all of the seasonal produce offered, you can pick up some Blackstrap Molasses, local raw honey, flavored syrups, Amish goods, boiled peanuts, bakery items from Village Bread, Datil Pepper Sauces, and tons more. I picked up about half a pound of fresh blueberries in season this last visit and about ten pounds of whole, raw beets along with many staple fruits and veggies. They were all excellent quality. The service is fast and friendly. They do a wonderful job displaying their products in the tiny, but efficient market space. Small grocery buggies are available to use while shopping and the prices are very reasonable compared to going to the local grocery stores. Always a pleasant experience to visit and see what they are selling for the season. Easy parking. Cash and credit accepted.
