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.

I recently visited Detwiler's Farm Market and was thoroughly impressed. The store was clean,…read morewell-stocked, and full of fresh produce and groceries. I especially appreciated the variety of local vendors and products available throughout the market. I also stopped by the deli and tried both the meatball sub and Italian sub, and they did not disappoint. The portions were generous, flavorful, and incredibly filling. The fresh lemonades were a great addition as well. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the Detwiler's cookies were another highlight of the visit. Overall, it was a fantastic shopping experience, and I've officially become a fan. I'll definitely be back!

This is a different type of grocery store,it feels more like a mix between a Sam's / Costco and…read moreWhole Foods all combined in to one store. The building it self is pretty large and wasn't expecting to walk in to a store with so much to see and samples in every corner you turn plus a bakery with danish and croissants sold in singles or packs,everything in the bakery looked delicious! There is a lot of product here you probably won't find in other areas of Florida but you can also find a lot of the same stuff at Publix. When I came to this store on a Tuesday afternoon there was a lot of people shopping here. They lay out is the same as most stores but what is unique is the bakery is to the left when you walk in and the bakery offers a lot of pastries like danish and croissants in their case for single purchases and also already packed. I had never visit this specific chain store and after doing some research I out these stores are only in Manatee and Sarasota county's. Very unique store with some different varieties but also keep and eye on some items , I wouldn't buy cleaning products here or body care items as those can be found for a better price at Publix and often BOGO but some other items like candy's in packaging toward the produce área was interesting they also offer a wide variety of cut fruit. Beware if you don't like seafood the smell starts to sneak on you as soon as you get to the produce área and it's pretty strong. Costumer service here doesn't come close to like at Publix but overall a store to look at if you are near one in any of the the two county's they are in. Four stars,why? because of the strong odor of fish and I felt like the store didnt have enough space for costumers to get around ,to many displays of products in the middle off the aisle.

The vendors fill the two side of the street with L shaped streets. The visit may take 40 minutes to complete. Either the stuff is local make and create. Overall vendor do include bakery, food, farmer vegetables, art, cloth, drink, dog goods, and more. I feel like the food vendor is very close to sit down restaurant price. It is a bit expensive. Even for microwave food that sold here.

It's open year-round, which is amazing, and it had such a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Our kids especially loved walking our friend's dog around the market, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. We also found a great pet vendor and picked up some treats. The food vendors were all really strong. The empanada truck was delicious, we tried pink pineapple for the first time, and we also had some guacamole and chips that were definitely pricey but absolutely worth it. There's a huge variety of vendors, and we barely got through a fraction of them. I'd love to go back on an empty stomach next time and really explore everything properly. If we lived nearby, I could easily see this becoming a regular weekend stop.

It runs from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. & serves as a community hub with live music, offering everything from fresh fruits and baked goods to handmade crafts and international foods, while supporting local farms & businesses. I left with bags of beautiful tomatoes, Romaine, bananas, zucchini... the artisan, breads, and pastries were as beautiful as the flowers. Happily the farmers market discounts foods 50% with EBT card . We passed lots of beautiful dogs.

One of the main reasons is simply the size -- it's one of the largest markets around and they have so many great things to offer. If you've spent any time around St. Pete, you've probably heard people mention this market -- it's kind of a local weekend staple. There's an incredible variety of vendors including food trucks, beverage stands, fresh produce, cheeses, breads, meats, and all kinds of locally made goods. You'll also find local artists and makers, along with vendors selling jewelry, clothing, hats, bags, plants, and other unique items. They usually have live music, which adds to the fun atmosphere while you walk around and explore the different booths. I don't make it out there as often as I'd like since it's a bit of a drive for me, but it's definitely one of my favorite markets in the area. If you're visiting or live nearby, it's absolutely worth checking out. Just try to get there early -- by noon it starts getting crowded, and with the Florida sun it can get hot quickly. I will be sure to take more pictures and update my review the next time I visit.

Local places that grow ginger, mushrooms and truffles, vegetables, micro greens, hot hot peppers, cut flowers, exotic tropical fruits, and live plants. Seasonings, soups, candies, kettle corn, hot sauces, breads and pastries and pies, cheeses, honey, granola, and sea salt. Wood and metal crafts, candles, paintings and prints, jewelry, fragrances, and cosmetics. Chai tea, matcha and red teas, kombucha, fresh-roasted coffee, smoothies, juices, and local craft beer. Ready-to-eat tamales, empanadas, sausages, shawarma, Indian food, French crepes, Cuban food, and chicken salad. And i'm sure we missed some! We bought here and there, and then sat at an umbrellaed table among seating for maybe 100 in the middle of many food vendors, rockin' to live music by Dave G and the Music Mercenaries, and watching a few folks dancing. We drank chai tea and craft beer and drank from a fresh coconut. We ate fresh croissants and salad and hot beef sandwiches and burritos and, the most fun, Budapest spiral-cut potato "chips": a whole potato cut into one thin chip, fried and lightly seasoned, with dipping-ketchup on the side. And some luscious strawberry crepes and fresh made pastries, icing on the cake, so to speak. We had a blast! This full fun creative market runs weekly at least until Mar 21, 2026.

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.
