Saturday is a great day to shop at the Winter Park Farmer's market. It is located in and out of the old train depot at 200 W New England Ave. The market opens for Saturdays only at 7am and closes at 1pm.
My whole day up to this minute has felt just lovely and I am sure it is because of the fact I started the weekend off in the farmers market.
A variety of vendors display their products throughout. I purchased $16 dollars worth. I bought Florida beefsteak tomatoes, one very healthy potted Gerber Daisy, one bunch of fat asparagus, two humongus Honeysweet apples from NY, ginger root, baby eggplant (just because they were sooo cute) and about six green tomatoes. It's a good thing I didn't bring my radio flyer with me. I would have also purchased a 10" pot of rosemary for $10 and a 15" potted assortment of herbs. The greenery was lusty in the least.
I was not able to identify any vendor as local or with organic produce. I'm sure they must be there and I will look closer next time.
