Sarasota Farmers Markets

For a small city, Sarasota is very well served by a diverse array of farmers markets. Each one has its special features and appeal. It's definitely worth checking them all out. Here's your guide to Sarasota Farmers Markets:

Downtown Sarasota Farmers Market - SATURDAYS

Open from 7AM to 1PM every Saturday, year-round, this is the oldest market in Sarasota. It's also by far the largest, including over 70 vendors selling produce, flowers, prepared foods, meats, fish, baked goods, teas, coffees, organic skin care products, as well as artisan crafts. Live music at several locations in the market. It runs along Lemon Avenue from 1st Street at Whole Foods to the purple fountain one block south of State Street, and on two blocks of State Street. Leashed dogs welcome.

Siesta Key Farmers Market - SUNDAYS

Open from 9AM to 2PM every Sunday, year-round, this is a small-scale yet surprisingly complete market. Available products have developed in response to its mostly-tourist customer base, with about 20 vendors setting up during winter season. There's a large selection of produce, breakfast foods cooked to order, organic teas, organic skin care, soaps, fine art, clothing, jewelry, and artisan crafts. Live music every week by popular local musicians. Easy parking because it's on Sunday mornings. Located in the Davidson's Pharmacy parking lot at 5124 Ocean Blvd in Siesta Key Village. Leashed dogs welcome.

Live music every week. Leashed dogs welcome. In fact, the Sarasota Humane Society brings their adoptable dogs and pets van to the market every other week during winter season.

Central Sarasota Farmers Market - SATURDAYS

This is One of Sarasota's newest markets. Open from 8AM to 1PM on Saturdays, with vendors including produce, knishes, baked goods, flowers, and several food trucks with interesting offerings. Live music every week. Very easy parking, because it's located just off Proctor Road near the corner of Beneva, in the parking lot of Sarasota Community Technical College (SCTI). There's room for 70 vendors, so this market is just beginning. If you patronize it now, your attendance will help it to grow. Leashed dogs welcome.
