A Saturday morning trip to the Winter Garden Farmers Market is the perfect way so ease into the day. Actually, any day in Winter Garden is a great place to eat, shop and play. There are so many fun places to visit. The City of Winter Garden is already so picture-postcard perfect that the addition of this market simply completes the cozy hometown feel. This quaint West Orange destination offers a pretty diverse market with much more than just produce and plants. You’ll find booths with everything from custom jewelry to handcrafted glassware. It’s a mini arts and crafts market each and every Saturday from 8am till 1pm.
Visit the large open air pavilion for a great selection of produce. If you don’t see what you are looking for there, check out some of the smaller independent vendors scattered around the market. Some of the vendors will only take cash. If you come up a little short, there is an ATM within the market.
Visiting the Winter Garden Farmers Market
As one of the larger Central Florida weekend markets, you’ll find everything you would expect at a Farmer’s Market. This award winning market has been named the best in the State of Florida by The American Farmland Trust. Vendors are both local and traveling, which provides a variety of products and keeps the market interesting.
Even if you’re not there to shop, there is still lots to do at the market. Enjoy the live music or a casual lunch, there are plenty of spots to sit back and ease into the day. Much of the market is shaded by massive moss laden oaks which offer a nice reprieve from the noon day sun.
Even the kids will enjoy this morning outing. There is plenty of space to run and play, and on a warm day the city splash pad will be filled with little ones giggling and running through the jumping water sprays. The market is also pet friendly.
