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.

They always have quality produce at reasonable prices. N mostly because it serves a community that really needs it..

We NEED fresh produce to combat serious illness and the obesity epidemic. We thrive on all things whole and wholesome.

Because I've been shopping there for years both outside and inside .. It is the most organized, has much more of a variety than any market I've seen around the country.
The coolers to hol produce from other parts of the country during their seasons as well as other parts of the globe is first class .. Resulting in the very freshest and best Looking as well as The way In Which It is all on display.
Makes you want to purchase things you didn't even come for.
It all Presents a Fun Experience that makes You PROUD to have shopped there.
Thanks for letting me talk about one of Tampa's Most Prized Long Time Assets.
