Every Saturday, from 10-3, under the bridges in Riverside, many of the best food and craft vendors…read morein the area, along with performers, local residents, and Jacksonville's greatest dogs, converge for a great weekend event. RAM is just a vibe. We make this a weekly stop and bring our dogs. There is something for everyone here. The outside lanes are devoted to local food vendors and food trucks respectively. Tons of great bakeries, produce and coffee selections. Inside, art, jewelry, and on stage, local talent weekly. Some of my favorite food vendors are 1748 Bakehouse and Mixed Fillings. The art vendors differ week to week and we've made a few purchases. Most importantly, this is THE highlight of the week for my dogs. They get to mingle with other dogs and people and they smile the entire time we're there. This is THE event to start your weekend in the Jacksonville area. If you haven't been, I highly encourage you to visit RAM.

You know I guess I love to eat too. So when we walked in we had to park a block away because there were a lot of cars around. Unfortunately Jacksonville doesn't have very many parking garages in useful locations so you kind of have to search for parking but we managed to find one in front of the Chamblain's book mine. Right when we walked in there was this itty-bitty little camp her that was selling coffee and I didn't get any but I thought that was kind of cute. There was also a stage with the band performing in they were actually pretty good. There were several types of stands half of the plaza and the other half was pretty much dedicated to food trucks and stands. I got some really remarkable toffee although it was $12 for an 8 ounce can but it was really really good. There were some interesting crafts for sale also. Were a bunch of food trucks there including some regular favorites and a couple I was not familiar with. I don't know if they rotate them out or not but it was interesting to be able to sample all the different trucks in the same location. It was kind of chilly tonight, it would've been better if it wasn't so cold but of course that's not the fault of the planners. I will definitely be back for the next one of these because I really enjoyed it.

It's worth a trip to Hemming Plaza to check out this market. If you want to check out some of the…read morefood trucks that you have bookmarked on your list, this is the place to go. It is a foodie's paradise a long with fresh produce and local shopping all under the big Jacksonville sky. A very unique market because it's held in the evenings where you could plan a cool "date night" with your significant other, sipping on some local beers, checking out the artist and vendors and really feeling part of everything that's making Jax a cool place to live. Just get there early enough so parking shouldn't ever be an issue as street spots are free after 6pm for everyone. Thanks City of Jacksonville.

One thing I wasn't expecting but, should have realized by the name is that they had more Latin foods items on their shelves which was quite up my alley. They even had my favorite drink - Jupina - which a very flavorful Pineapple drink. I love the fact that their produce is much cheaper than the franchise prices and that they also have a selection of meats that you probably wouldn't find at a franchised grocery store such a a WHOLE FREAKING PIG. LOL! Yikes! To be such a small market, I also love that they provide shopping bags but, I would probably just use green bags next time to be a little more environment-friendly.

Despite living less than 3 miles away I had not been to the Flea Marker in years. We entered on the East side and when we reached the West side I spied PLANTS. At first I was somewhat disappointed by the size. The owner then said there is more outside. Our plant loving hearts missed a beat. The collection of plants is massive and the prices fair Check out the whole market. There are many interesting stalls holding treasures. If you are a plant lover like me park on the west side to keep from hauling your treasures to the other side of the market. Happy Shopping!!'

It looks like it would be full of all kinds of vegetables, but you don't go inside the building. The vendors are outside. It was only 4 vendors. but I loved it. A young lady that sells body products and one is Yoni so if you would like to get your Yoni cleanse, go see her. I love me some mushrooms. all kinds of mushrooms. The mushroom man was there; he grows them himself. Then the vegetables from the actual farm, they were picked yesterday. They have greens, so mustard, collards, kale and turnups and these are young turnups, they are all white. The greens were only $3.00 per bunch. Make sure you look at every leaf front and back ( if you know, you know) They harvest their own honey, they have a bee farm in the back! You can tour the farm and the bee farm; you can also volunteer to help harvest the produce. I really like that. And then those crackers.......Lort have mercy! These ain't for the children kind of crackers, not even for the teenagers! These are for the grown folk! They are like chez-it with a lot of flavor. Man, everyone I tasted was chef's kiss! Man, this will be next level on your Charcuterie Board! The Jalapeno one, it has a kick, after you have eaten about 4 of them, so if your heat sensitive beware They had other desert items on the table, I didn't even want to taste them, they would have had all my coin! They aren't there every week. I think she said every other week. zoom in on the card, and email or check out the website I see myself coming here on a regular basis for sure! I went by their yesterday 1/2/26 it looked like it's no longer in business? I went out of my way to go check it out. The front gate was open, but it didn't look like it was even operational. Should I decide to go back, I will call first. Food None Ambiance no life!

We met a vendor that sold prize winning Kansas City barbecue rub that was amazing. We saw lots of beautiful fresh produce, bakery items and lots of homemade items, beautiful jewelry and art. Unfortunately I just didn't have enough $$ to go around because believe me I could have bought a lot of things!

I'm sure things you would never be able to find elsewhere. But I love the fact that these are all people trying to make ends meet, they have stepped out on faith, and are trying to sell things, they think someone might be interested in. Some items are new, some shops have gently used, some have used and antique items. You might find a diamond in the rough here. I will definitely be back, especially for the oils.
