I believe the woman running it name is Cindy and she was extremely knowledgeable about the local produce. I bought a variety of cantaloupe that is delicious & she said she would soon have great, local watermelons. I live about 15 mins south/west of Palmetto, but I am finding some great local places in Palmetto. Way better prices than the new Whole Foods & Earth Fare & closer ! She had some nice looking potted fresh herbs & good prices on a local honey. All her vegetables looked super fresh & I'm happy w/everything I brought home with me ...

Grand Opening Ellenton Farmer's Market - June 13, 2009…read more What separates the Ellenton Farmers' market from others is its singular commitment on the environment. The Ellenton Farmers' Market will focus on "green" natural, agricultural-based products where farmers, vendors and community come together in support of economy, local residents, health and our environment. The Ellenton Farmers' Market will host vendors that offer everything from all natural, fresh produce, fresh baked and processed foods, services, products and an eco-village to educate customers on water conservation, the use of less toxic cleaning products, composting to energy-saving strategies, supporting environmental organizations and ways to help create a greener, more sustainable community. The Ellenton Farmers' Market will be a year round market, held on Saturday mornings in the Town of Ellenton. The grand opening will be on June 13, 2009. It is located just off I-75 in the parking lot of the Ellenton Ice and Sports Complex, north of Prime Outlet Mall. The market will be open to customers from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The market has the capacity to host up to one-hundred (100) vendors with ample parking. The market will become a gathering place for nonprofits, government agencies and benevolent organizations to offer services to shoppers. Every year new ideas are introduced to help the citizens become more connected to their community such as the Master Gardener program, voter registration, food collection and cash donations to the homeless shelter and Red Cross blood drives and Boy Scout fund-raising to name a few.

This little family farmstead was located just a few miles from our campground in Cortez and with…read morenothing particularly planned for the day I figured we'd start the day taking a ride to check this place out - it's always nice to source locally grown produce especially when it's a family operation, the selection was pretty good of course a lot of the products are seasonal so this little stand fills in with a nice selection of small batch produce and products sourced from other small businesses around the area and some brought in from out of state. The staff here was extremely friendly I'm sure a lot of the customers are locals that frequently stop in by the sounds of the laughter and the conversations going on as they checked out. I got a laugh after seeing a small section marked "scratch and dent", theses items were marked up to 50% off, these are a variety of items that are a little bruised or ripe to the point you'd want to use them right away. I was hoping to see a cow, a horse, a pig or a chicken but I guess they were all working out in the fields like most farms everyone has to pull their weight. I didn't find anything today unfortunately but enjoyed the walk-through, this is the real deal...

Owners were lovely and very accommodating.

Bought some produce anyway, Strawberries looked great but were very mediocre, not sweet at all and pretty tasteless. Corn was delicious. Garlic came with a tag that said "made in china" and was dry and old. Tomatoes were good.

My husband knows how much I love farmers markets and fresh produce so we pulled in. Unfortunately the inside was closed but we did grab a good size honeycrisp apple, a brown pear, a pink pineapple and a tray of delicious strawberries. We also grabbed a couple of those coconut bars at the register (3 for $5) and they were really good! The total came out to $25, which I find a bit much but fresh fruit is SO worth it! Will make an intention detour next trip!!
