The pineapple upside down cake is by far, the perfect combination on moist and cake that you could get, could use more pineapple but ‍ preferences :) My group got one of each of every sandwich and every person had no complaints, i had the jose marti and very very good, not dry or too wet, very tasty. P.S. the farmer outside requires a 10 dollar minimum on card, won't tell you that but will charge the difference :( if i knew that i would've bought more stuff. The strawberries were so so fresh and you can even get a freshly made strawberry shortcake made inside!!!

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 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 ...

Depending on the time of year on what she's planted, sunflowers is what's prevalent now (summer). She mentioned not closing down for the summer as normal, because of everything going on- so if you have a chance, definitely stop by and support local.

Ole Rosie, where do I start?…read more I was so happy I finally caught this little market when it was open (I randomly pass by and stop, just didn't note their business hours). After a few minutes of browsing, a chipper young lady (I'm assuming it was Rosie) came to the floor, out from what looked like a deep beauty sleep. After a few moments I decided to say hello and make a little small talk "I'm so glad I caught you when you're open." The happy young woman replied "IM ALWAYS OPEN!"... I tried to explain to her how I just randomly cruise by and it's usually not during business hours, nbd. Yikes. She said it was her last day open and she was heading back to Michigan for the summer. Yes! I think to myself, this is my 'in' to get on her good side (I'm also from Michigan, us Michiganders are usually very friendly to each other!). Rosie didn't bat an eye. She rang me up, after moments of silence, I try to talk to her again and jokingly say "is that with my Michigan discount?" Her face turned from a scowl to an even more evil, menacing scowl. She proclaimed "DO I GET PROPERTY TAX DISCOUNT?!?! DO I GET A GAS DISCOUNT?!?! DO I GET A GROCERY DISCOUNT?!" I just stood there in awe.. She was right, she gets no Michigan discount, why should I?! What a horrible thing to ask her!! After being schooled, I sat there in silence. I ended up buying a honeycomb, two jars of pickled garlic, balsamic garlic herb jam, and some of what Rosie's roadside signs say are 'fresh cheese curds.' What Rosie doesn't know is my family is from the dairyland. We used to visit every summer. And guess what? Cheese curds are the first thing I buy when I get there! Fresh cheese curds are only fresh for a couple days. When I get home I ripped open the curds and took a bite. It was the worst tasting cheese I have ever tasted. I took old Rosie's word and thought they were fresh. I checked the date (after I purchased them)... The date was 2/2/2022. I bought these cheese curds on 4/22!!!! Those were not fresh. They would get tossed after a week if they were in Wisconsin. Dispite Rosie's cheery attitude, I will say I'm never going to waste my time at this place ever, don't waste yours.

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.

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.
