Hello, we moved here approximately two months ago. I've heard about these farmers markets in Spanish Springs & Brownwood. Are they easy to find once you arrive into the town square ? Also are they only on certain days & times ? I appreciate all answers !! Thank you in advance.

The seafood truck is still there, if you're talking about the people who sell raw shrimp, salmon, sea bass, etc. by the pound. Last time I was there they even had a guy who offered knife sharpening services. Lots of "cottage industry" canned and jarred food products, a gluten-free bakery table, a few "craft-ish" types of tables, and the center table for all fresh produce.

This one is the one where the egg lady may or may not show up on random Tuesdays. It used to be run on 441 down in Lady Lake, next to Ye Olde Thrift Shoppe. When the pandemic hit, it shut down, and re-opened on Rolling Acres.

They don't have food trucks anymore but there was one lady last year that served 1/4-pound hotdogs with her specialty salsa on it. I don't know if the food truck thing was a decision of the organizers, or if the food trucks just decided they didn't want to use that location.

Lady Lake Farmers & Crafts Market
This market is open from October 1st to early April, every Tuesday from 9 am to 2 pm, 250 Rolling Acres Rd. Golf cart accessible by Palermo Place golf path.
There will continue to be a BBQ , hotdog & Sausage with breakfast sausage sandwiches, lemonade and snacks and fresh frozen seafood food truck vendors. This year there will be sourdough breads, pasties, and gluten free vendors. Additional new vendors selling Brazilian and Greek food. We will once again have the knife sharpening booth along with other craft, home decor, cups, preserved foods of all kinds, candles, honey, cheese, roasted coffee, etc. The Lake County Master Gardeners will join us with their plant clinic every Third Tuesday. The Town Market also provides entertainment of some type, October 1 Bobby Blackmon will be performing from 10-1, Homemade Jam will be performing on November 5th from 10-1, give blood on Oct 29 Blood South Blood Bus will be there. Flying Golf carts will be doing a show on November 26, at 11 am. Follow us on FB @townofladylake and website at Lady Lake, FL | Official Website

Go right to the Square where they play the music. Saturday morning, there are some other days so just check the Villages website. If you have a golf cart take that. It will be much easier yo find parking. They close off most income streets around the square that’s just for carts. There are also some special one’s like art fairs and things.

And there is Marion County Market on Rt 441. A huge flea market, but also have a vegetable stand & reasonable priced. open Fri, Sat. and Sunday. Google it.
