The staff here is just so welcoming and friendly. They had samples of their offerings so that you can try before you buy. Or better yet, so you can buy 1 of everything because everything is just so dang good. The strawberry shortcake here is the best I've had. And the fresh strawberries we bought, Omgeeeeee they were delicious! Not a bad on in the flat we purchased and even friends that tried them commented that they were the sweetest and best strawberries.

Stop 6 on our strawberry pass. This was a first time and we are so happy we came here. I would have…read morenot heard about this farm until the pass. This was our fave strawberry shortcake. It cost $6 and a dollar more for ice cream. We had a BOGO and they split the ice cream btw the two. This was quite different than Parkesdale. No idea why but it was just so much tastier. More strawberries, more syrup, not dry. So fresh. It's a good size farm of strawberries and then a farmhouse with picnic tables, produce and inside a shop with a menu for sandwiches and drinks and strawberry goodies! Also Keel Winery is like 5 from here for so definitely go to both.

Sanwa Farmer's Market is a busy, casual market that offers a wide variety of fresh produce, meats,…read moreand everyday grocery items at generally affordable prices. It has a very local, no-frills feel, and it's more about practicality than presentation. The experience is generally solid, especially if you're looking for fresh ingredients or bulk shopping. It can get crowded and a bit hectic at times, but that's part of the typical market atmosphere.

There are breads, jams and jellies, herbs you can take home and plant, flowering plants as well. So many items available that you wouldn't imagine just by a quick glance from street.

It should be able to finish visiting for one hour. If decided to try their food truck is about one and half hour. The food truck included the Mexican, burger, Thai, mini donut, hot dog and more. I like the art work display. In including the live plant. They have unique potting systems that plant and air dry systems. Watering only once a few days. They also has electricity bike that can combine the paddle power and electricity for 50 miles range. The vendor includes egg farm, fresh market, power supplements, sourdough bread, sprouts veggies. There are many interesting vendor in the stand.

Why 4 stars? Because it's a market within walking distance of my house!…read more --- --- --- Full disclosure: there's some geographic bias in this review. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with this market, but I would likely not visit it, if it were not for the fact that it's about a 7 minute walk from my front door. These farmers markets have really blown up over the last couple of years, and it's great. Tons of vendors that don't have the ability to own a brick and mortar store front are provided a means for operating their business. They're essentially traveling gypsy's that happen to sell soap, produce, or various pet merchandise that's not needed, but so darn cute. As for North Tampa Market in particular, it comes with all the typical fixins'. I do wish there were more places to sit and eat, as the ratio of food and people : seating is quite skewed. Also, the market is heavy on the dirt and mud, which also brings more bugs when you do finally find a place to sit and indulge. That being said, the market is fun place for us to hang out on the 2nd Saturday of every month from 10-2 :) I especially enjoy the calming melodies of the musician, as I enjoy my grilled cheese sandwich, kombucha, and banana bread.

I decided to try out Raw Box Organics when fellow yelper, Kelleigh M., messaged me that Living…read moreSocial was running a deal. Raw Box Organics delivers organic produce directly from the farm to homes and businesses in the Tampa Bay area. You can receive weekly or biweekly shipments and you can customize the shipments to meet your likes and dietary needs. If you open an account on their website you can select produce that you do not want Raw Box to send you. (I hate mushrooms and eggplant so I made sure to select these items on my "do not send list".) Raw Box offers fruit, vegetable, or mixed boxes. They also offer a "juicing box" that contains fruits and vegetables that are good for juicing. All of the boxes come in three sizes: small, medium or large. A small box costs $35 and usually contains 10-13 items for 1-2 people. A medium sized box costs $45 and contains 14-17 items for 3-4 people. A large box is $55 and contains 18-22 items. I purchased the small vegetable box with my living social coupon. I had a bit of trouble using the website so I ended up calling Raw Box and placing my order over the phone. I was really pleased with my shipment. My small box did not seem small at all and contained a variety of tomatoes, sweet potatoes, yellow onion, parsley, carrots with tops, lettuce and kale. I haven't been at home much the past few weeks so I have not had the chance to order again (yet). I have used a similar service in the past and loved it, but I took a break from the service because the weekly shipments can get overwhelming. While it was fun to try new vegetables and recipes my husband and I had to be careful about checking our orders online each week to make sure we weren't receiving the same items each week. (You can only eat so many carrots!!!) Next time I place an order with Raw Box I plan on trying their "juicing box". I love to make freshly squeezed juice with my Vitamix Juicer and would enjoy receiving different varieties of produce to juice.

FINALLY, a business that makes eating healthy and juicing a lot easier. We bought a juicer about a…read moreyear ago, but it has been a bit challenging to find a wide variety of organic produce on a regular basis. Abby's is a bit far to go every week, and the grocery stores are often out of things that I want if they even have a decent sized organic section. We subscribe to an organic produce service in California as well, but I like that you can choose to omit the foods you do not like at Raw Box, unlike our Cali service where you get whatever they choose to give you whether you like it or not.

If it's strawberry season, I'm heading to Parksdale to pick up some strawberries and grab a sweat…read moretreat. The "world famous" strawberry milkshakes live up to the hype and are well worth any wait in line. I love how creamy they are and the fact that they include chunks of strawberries. Don't sleep on just a plain bowl of strawberries with whipped cream either. I normally find myself wanting more strawberries after a milkshake, and the bowl of strawberries is the perfect compliment. As for the lines, they can be pretty long. But they do a really good job at making the lines move quickly. The prices are also very reasonable. The market also has all sorts of fresh veggies, fruits, and strawberry related items, like jams, breads, and even cookies!

PLEASE NOTE: STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE SEASON STARTS IN JANUARY. Apparently there's a season for the…read morestrawberry shortcake. I was driving from Tampa to Orlando in August and saw a bunch of signs for the "world famous" strawberry shortcake but couldn't get any :( there should really be a sign that details when the shortcake is available if it isn't going to be available year round but those signs are. It was pretty disappointing not being able to have it. I opted to get a strawberry bread (apparently it's always season for that) when I was there and it was really good! I wasn't quite in the mood for a milkshake, but the milkshakes are supposedly good here as well. Besides the strawberry treats, there is a whole store inside with a variety of jams, hot sauces, and merchandise as well as fresh fruit and veggies for sale. The seating area is really adorable (you can see it in the picture I posted). I guess I'll just have to come back during shortcake season to let you know if it's worth the "world famous" title.
