I really wanted to buy locally produced products, but the farmer's market at Cocoa Beach was disappointing. Most of the tents, only two sold produce, were selling products as middle men. Only one tent (sold plants) produced their own products. Sounds like the produce is obtained from a warehouse and then distributed for sell at farmer's markets. I wouldn't mind not having the variety, as long as it was actually grown from real farmers in the local area. But I really couldn't tell what was locally grown vs what was grown in Chile. Only one person there sold his own products along with the distributed ones. I still supported and bought, but this is a far cry from farmer's markets in California!

I support them because I have bought at their market and I think its great. They gave me advice on how to make the vegetables and even the fruits. The people were extremely friendly and helpful.

I love visiting with the local farmers and vendors. I have gotten some great food, recipes, and some beautiful handcrafted items. Last week I bought a huge bunch of cilantro so fresh there was dirt on the roots at a price that supermarkets can't touch!

This is the best market we have near the Melbourne/Palm Bay area. It is a small market but the people are always nice and friendly and willing to help you find what you're looking for! They have great produce, usually from Florida, and when in season even from their own gardens! Because it is a small market with the nicest people, no one deserves this money more!

The fruits and vegetables that I buy from them are tasty and fresh and the price is better than the store

Closest thing to days gone by when we could pass local growers and get freshest produce.
