I think the first time we came here was back in around 2009 but it has been a couple years since…read morethe last time I stopped through. It's a good drive from where we live and I usually stop if I have other things in the area the vet we use is near here And sometimes I combine it with a trip to them, but this time was after a medical appointment. This is a really long building and when you first stop in, you might think there are multiple businesses, but it's all open inside with one store. Every time we stop here the people working are friendly and helpful. They always have free samples on some of the candies and occasionally on some of the Preserves that they sell. I'm a big fan of their jellies, jams, preserves, and conserves and more. On this occasion, we picked up an assortment of their candies and a couple of jars. One is a raspberry jalapeño jelly and the other one is a blueberry conserve. These are both new ones for us to try and they both sound delicious. I like shopping here because you get to support a local business and everything is tasty. The places well lit and always clean. If you're traveling, they also provide shipping on many of their products. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in the area.

Dundee is a small Central Florida town along the Lake Wales Ridge, 50 miles south of Orlando and 30…read moremiles from Kissimmee. This is where you will find the most uniquely Florida candy store. Back in the early 1900s T. W. Davidson grew oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines near Dundee. In the 1960s his son, Glen, planted his own citrus groves and started Davidson of Dundee. Glen had a career with the large candy companies up north. In Florida he created his own version of the citrus candy, based on a recipe his mother used to make with sugar cane and citrus juice. He used the fresh juices from his groves so the candy retained its full citrus flavor. Davidson of Dundee is now run by Glen's son, Tom Davidson. The candy company has been featured on the Food Network, Fox, CBS, ABC, and has also been featured in Smart Money and Southern Living magazines. The process of making delicious jam and candy starts in their own 200 acre citrus orchard where they grow Valencia oranges, tangerines, and key limes. The harvested fruit is then taken into the kitchens at Davidson where the it is cut and juiced. Jelly is made from juice, jam contains the pulp, and marmalade contains the peel. None of the fruit goes to waste. The juice is also used in the candy. You can watch the process from the large glass windows. Whole fruit is shipped to people all over the country. One of the highlights of a visit to Davidsons is the free samples. Tom still makes the citrus flavored jelly candy his dad created but he has also experimented with new flavors. You can buy the candy in small bags or in different gift basket combinations. In addition to the jam, jelly, spreads, and candy, Davidson also sells chocolate alligators, tea, sauces, dressings, and Florida souvenirs. I couldn't resist the pecan logs and strawberry delight jelly candy. If you can't make it in person they have an online store.

Most of the time, it's my one stop shop for small gatherings. I can find good quality food products that have a little bit of flair, like tapenades, fig/fruit jams, cheeses, and the fancy crackers. As well as ingredients to throw a nice dinner together for a good price. This store itself is kept tidy and well stocked, especially for the Holiday season. Staff was nice on my last visit, validated my license quickly from self checkout, and could be found anywhere.

We came in to get wine to take on our cruise since Aldi has the best kept wine and it's even with a screw top. I did some side research yesterday and came up with a shot sheet of some options and luckily this location had three out of six. We got some blueberries to chomp on on our way to Port Canaveral and we also got some Popsicles to congratulate ourselves on a job. Well done. While we ate our Popsicles before our ride back to Legoland, we watched some people fight over giving quarters back, which warmed our hearts. All the employees seem to be happy and the store was clean, well lit, and well stocked.

I've had some olive oil from them before and I was curious to see all of what they carry. They have a wide variety of blended and infused olive oils and vinegars. They have some interesting flavors of stuffed olives along with a good selection of other seasoning type items. There's a selection of wines and also some cheeses available which would make setting up charcuterie a little easier. I spent a while chatting with the owners and browsing through their entire selection. In the end I picked up a bottle of vegan butter and olive oil blend along with a jar of seedless raspberry jam. This was a really nice store with so many things to choose from. I'm seriously thinking about buying a package of the hull less popcorn they have the next time I am in. I will definitely be back to try more in the future.

I got there around 1:15 and they were packing up. I'm thinking they were packing up early bc of the rain coming which it did come before 2pm. The area is cute with the square of shops around and a coffee shop across the street. That's actually how I recognized that I'd been to this farmer's market years ago. They had different vendors including food trucks, candles, knick knacks, costume jewelry, art, etc. i didn't end up there very long since they were packing up. Check it out on a nicer day. I think that I'm good with visiting it, but my first impression was that it was a nice set up and there are trees for shade and free parking around. Of course dog friendly too.

This is more of a small flea market (x2 aisles) than a farmer's market. This is the second trip I…read morehave made here. There is/was one (1) booth selling fresh produce, having the monopoly (good for them I suppose) which is what a "farmer's market" is supposed to be about. All the other side items such as house plants, jewelry, baked goods, soaps, art work, etc are flea market type things; unless there are multiple produce selling vendors then I might give those others a pass for being part of a farmer's market. There is a vendor selling pickled produce, so I should give them a pass I suppose. I will admit that along with some fresh produce and pickled products I did buy some bread goods, a couple of jarred spice rubs and a snack. Yet that still does not take away from the fact this really is not, in my mind, a true farmer's market. Those we interacted with were amicable and no hard sales pitches were encountered. However, with the lack of produce stands and the small size of the venue I have to give this a 2 star (could've been better) rating as a farmer's market. Will I return? Probably, but I won't go out of my way unless I desire a certain product I can't find closer to home (such as the bread items, which were delicious.
