Tampa Wholesale Produce Market

This is not a market where actual farmers come and set up a booth to sell to the public. Rather its a place where middlemen buy from farms all over the country, bring the food here on trucks, and sell to stores, flea market vendors, restaurants, AND people like you and me.

Having said all that, I love to shop for boxes of fruit to make jam, tomatoes for putting up sauce, etc. Sadly, 95% of it isn't organic, but great deals can be had. Make sure you drive past the security guard (only truckers have to pay to enter) all the way back to the warehouses. There is a store in the front with a similar name, but its not the same. To the best of my recollection, the hours are from 4 to 10 AM, and they are closed on Monday & Tuesday.
