I drove from New Smyrna Beach with cooler in tow because I have heard so much hype about this market. Over all I was very impressed with all of the vendors however it was very crowded with a lot of vendors and people in one area. The pasta vendor is awesome! I also bought duck eggs and grass fed beef from Lake Meadow Naturals which had a great selection! The bagels and cream cheese from the bread vendor inside was yummy - however I felt a little over priced. The lemonade stand was very good - I suggest the Arnold Palmer. I also bought pickled beets which are to de for. The plant vendors were out of this world. The reason why I gave this market only a three stars was because of the produce. The two main produce vendors you could tell were purely resell. I only saw maybe two true farmers there, one being a hydroponic grower whom I bought sunflower sprouts from and had some of the best looking heirloom tomatoes that I had ever seen! I do understand that some resell is a must is Florida because of the summer heat, however it is a farmers market so I would like to see who is growing my food not packaging from California on the blueberries when I pasted a u pick farm on the way there. I will definitely go back for the vendors that I mentioned above, it's worth the drive!

Winter Park Farmers' Market is the best! Check out the booth that sells Amish butter and pullet eggs. They are simply wonderful!! Also, a couple of booths sell very good bread. This is our all time favorite Saturday outing.

Hosted in and around an old southern train station. In beautiful and up-scale historic Winter Park, Fl. This Farmer's Market offers high-quality local produce and a vast array of quality products! Venders range from local veggies to gourmet dog treats... Fresh pasteries, juices, empanadas, jams and jellies, even local cheeses... Dried fruits, popcorn, gourmet coffee, fresh caught seafood, herbs, cut flowers, plants, and more. And there are even live caterpillers on their host plants, (kids love to watch the transformation into beautiful butterflies!). If you are ever in Central FL on a Saturday; you have to check it out! It's our favorite weekly outing!

Not only is this a great place to find fresh, local produce, it is a fun way to spend a Saturday morning with stalls selling coffee, croissants as well as wonderful selections of plants to go home and grow your own produce.

When I am in Winter Park visiting family and friends, which is quite often, this farmers' market is a must see. It has the largest variety of vendors, ranging from all you fresh produce, herbs, flowers and plants (which are to die for), and a great many miscellaneous vendors, such as soaps, wines, coffee, prepared foods, food made to order, and so much more. The bagel bakery keeps you from staying on your no carb diet! It is truly a morning of true "market" shopping, not just a stop for lettuce and tomatoes!

This market is always a fun time with great produce, plants, flowers and food. My favorite vendor is the fresh pasta. I have been going since I was a little girl with my mom and I take my daughter with me.

It has been in existence for over 30 years in the same place supporting local farmers and plant growers as well as local small businesses from the metropolitan Orlando area.
