I would like to go to the Brownwood Farmers Market today, Saturday, January 12, but I am having trouble finding information regarding it. Could someone please tell me if they are having it today and during what hours? Also, is there a best time to get there? I have not been to Brownwood yet and travel by golf cart, so please let me know if there is anything else I need to know. Thank you so much and thank you for these wonderful informative posts.

Go down Buena Vista until you see Brownwood.
The Farmers Market is smack dab in the middle of Brownwood. Many stalls, you can't miss it. It is all morning. You will enjoy it, I am sure. Plenty of stuff, we have arrived late in the morning and had a great selection. I like the stall that is a family with little ones running around in the stall and they sell vegetables. Never been disappointed with the produce or the prices.

The pasta booth has some delicious and different pastas. Can't wait to be back next weekend. We are not full-timers......yet.
On another note - TOTV helps to keep us connected. Thanks to all who post. |

Also consider making a visit sometime to the farmer's market section (section F) at the Marion Market outside of TV. (flea market open on the weekends)
Wonderful abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables. Very reasonable prices. |

Thanks Uptown Girl, but I only have a golf cart for transportation. I believe one of my friends here brought me there last year and I really liked it.

What Gracie said. The prices are better than the grocery stores and the ambience is much like any Farmer's Markets with all the vendors to choose from---everything from fresh produce to coffee, to baked goods and more. Have fun!!!

Yes, it's from 9 until 2. I've been to it a few times and really enjoyed it.
Go early. One time, we got there at 1pm. Some of the vendors had already left and some were packing up to go home. |

There is a vendor that sells some of the best cheese you've ever tasted. I even bought a beautiful hibiscus bush there.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I went to the Brownwood Farmers Market this morning and it was fabulous. I got there relatively early and it was not overly crowded. It seemed to get more crowded later in the morning. I bought strawberries, Florida onions, oranges, broccoli, bean sprouts, kale, corn, and cranberry walnut bread. I also sampled many delicious items. This is a fabulous farmers market!!!

![]() ![]() I made my first trip today. I bought everything you did and a little more in about 10 minutes $35. I don't know why anyone would want to go out of town to a different farmers market with that market in The Villages. They have just about everything someone could want. I just don't think it's worth climbing into the car.

I've been there early and the vendors are usually selling by 8. I like the Lee Farms veggie booth. I think they said they are from Webster. Very friendly folks with a lot of cute little ones in the background. Young boy waited on me and I was impressed with how he kept my total going just in his head --- and he was spot on too! Smart little guy! I bought strawberries there and was impressed that the man hand sorted through them and the quarts I bought didn't have a bruised one at all. They've got my business!
