There's also the Leesburg Farmer's Market and The Market of Marion. Soon there will be another choice at the corner of 42 and 441, I believe it will be called the Market of the Villas or something to that effect.

I like Fernando's, in Pedro. I asked Fernando once if everything was indeed organic and grown there on his farm. He said yes. They even give farm tours, by appointment.

Where is Fernando's in Pedro from here? By here I mean B.Vista - thanks.

I did a search for Fernando's and came up with this link. It is in Summerfield so it might be the place we are both looking for Fernando's Organic Produce - Summerfield, FL (Florida) | 352-615-4775

I hear that it costs $40 to rent a table and even if you sell out, you are not allowed to leave Brownwood until 2PM.

Be very very careful when buying homegrown produce at farmers markets,,, u have no idea what pesticides were used ....we only from established growers,,I look at there vehicle and if they bursh there teeth and take a bath....if they don't care about themselves they don't care about how safely they grow things.....there is a reason the USDA inspects our food

I really like supporting our local farmers so I hope to see you all there!:thumbup:

Does anyone know what hours the Lady Lake market runs?
