Sweetwater not only grows organic vegetables and herbs, we also host a community Farmers Market! Support Local - we are open to the public on Sundays from noon to 4pm during our harvest season (October 19 to May). Leashed dogs welcomed. Come check out the farm, listen to great music, have a picnic lunch, shop for local produce and environmentally-friendly products, meet like-minded individuals, and enjoy our orchard and gardens. Bring your friends and family! Its a great way to support local businesses, local/organic agriculture, and our educational and community programs. Finally, we are happy to say that we are one of the best outdoor places to play.
The market features:
The Sweetwater Farm Stand, where we sell surplus Sweetwater Farm-raised veggies (when available), as well as fruits and vegetables from other organic farms (through a distributor). Sweetwater organic cotton T-shirts, cold drinks, and other specialty items will also be available. We accept cash or check only. SNAP EBT benefits are accepted. Vendors selling environmentally-friendly and handcrafted products, such as wonderful local produce, farm-fresh eggs, raw milk, artisan breads, organic coffee, raw local honey, organic herbs and Florida-native plants, organic cotton and hemp clothing, beautiful handmade arts and crafts, gardening books, body care products and more. Workshop Series offers informative workshops by guest presenters on sustainable living skills, organic gardening, cooking, holistic healing and more. Check out our Events page for upcoming workshops. Live Music Series with featured performers from 12:30-2:30pm and open mike from 2:30-4 at every market.
