Farmers's Markets

Miami Dade County

There are two things I love about going to the farmer’s market: First, I know that I’m going to find fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms, and second I also know that there are some really awesome tasting homemade breads and pastries waiting for me!

In addition to providing fresh, healthy produce for residents, farmer’s markets stimulate the local economy by keeping money in the community. Word of advice – be sure to bring cash with you as some vendors don’t accept credit cards.
