Farmers Markets
 
When are the farmers markets at Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter?

Also is the market still being held at the 250 Rolling Acres Road on Friday? Is it true you can access it via golf cart?

THANK YOU.

Here’s a partial answer. I don’t know about when or if there are farmers markets at those locations but 250 Rolling Acres is golf cart accessible. From Morse go Rio Grande to Chula Vista to Palermo place. There is an obscure entrance to the cart trail on Palermo probably a quarter mile down. The cart path is tiny and you will miss it if you aren’t careful. It leads to the soccer fields and driving range

Thank you so much for the helpful information.

Sorry should have posted in previous reply. Specifically for veggies and fruits, I'm reading Brownwood is the only place for that. The evening markets at the squares, I see having misc items and not specifically fruits and vegetables. I know there had been a fruits and vegetable market at Spanish Springs but maybe that is just during the summer months.

The fruits and veggies at Brownwood each Saturday are very good, very fresh. Also, meal and fish purveyors are good.

The Lady Lake Farmers Market was at the Rolling Acres site for a very short time. It's back at Log Cabin Park on Tuesdays.

The Spanish Springs market was discontinued a handful of years ago. It is only held now at Brownwood. I'm surprised the OP asked about it---but perhaps they were seasonal OR the plague kept them away until recently. As one other said, there is one in Lady Lake---I believe on Tuesdays. I wasn't aware that they once met off Rolling Acres Rd. but maybe that was when the thrift shop was still being built. I haven't been out and about much lately so haven't been over there.

They moved it to Rolling Acres around March because of the 441 construction. They had worse problems at Rolling Acres and moved it back after a month to Log Cabin.

Ir, anyone is interested, the Marion flea market off 441 Bellview has a more real farmer's market. More real meaning the people, at least some of them are the people who grow the produce.

Yes open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. They have very good fresh home grown produce.
Worth the trip.

Farmers Markets
 
There used to be a weekly Farmers Market in Spanish Springs on Thursdays, I believe. However, that disappeared sometime prior to 2019. There is only the weekly Farmers Market on Saturdays at Brownwood now.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:40 PM.
