The Tastiest Farmers Market in Tampa

Tommy's Fresh Produce

★★★★☆ 4 (29) • $

"Tommy's is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of N Belcher Rd. and NE Coachman Rd. in Clearwater. It's been in the same location for years.The interior is very cramped. The store has a variety of fresh produce, exotic ingredients and international food items. The vegetables looked awesome as well as the freshly baked goods.There's nothing fancy or overpriced about Tommy's. The staff is friendly. The store is very tight quarters so be prepared. This store is also a classic hidden gem in Clearwater."

Little House Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4.3 (21) • $

"We found this market to be well run. It is clean and offers good produce at reasonable prices. This place is a keeper!Like the Terminator, I'll be back."

Fresh Market at Wiregrass

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8)

"Five stars for the dedicated vendors who show up once or twice monthly to sell their wares! This open air market is held the 1st & 3rd Saturday from 10 AM till 2 PM-- twelve months per year. (Now that the Sunday South Tampa market is no more, traffic here may pick up.)Have yet to encounter even one unfriendly seller. Most vendors take cash, credit, & debit. Some take EBT. You may bring your own reusable bags, although the vendors usually have plastic handled bags available. Here you'll find jams; produce (one vendor is always on site); fish dips; cheeses; & prepared hot foods such as Thai & polish sausages. There's also Maine lobster bisque & sliders; refrigerated meats; frozen crawfish pies; farm fresh eggs; soy candles; Irish fudge; biscotti; green teas & herbal juices; handmade jewelry & cutting boards; organic dog treats; CDB products; limited crafts; & a host of other offerings.There's often a stage featuring live entertainment (usually an acoustic guitarist or two). On most market days, there are approximately 50 vendors under tents. On rainy and colder days, there may be fewer. The website boasts of 80 to 100 vendors, but I've yet to count over 70 on any visit over the last three years. (The market opened in 2010.)The street is closed to traffic. There is plenty of parking on the side streets. If you have a disabled parking permit, parking is free throughout Wiregrass. The market street sign reads, "Face masks are required"; however, the policy is not enforced, & thankfully no one is confrontational. Most patrons are masked. ALL VENDORS ARE MASKED.While you're in the area, check out the Wiregrass stores that are open Saturday morning. Two large chains are Macy's & Barnes & Nobel. There are many speciality stores in Wiregrass, along w/ restaurants like Chuck Lagers, Nobel Crust, & Pinchers."

Temple Terrace Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 3.5 (2)

"First time going to the Temple Terrace Farmers Market. There wasn't much to see or buy from with less than 10 vendors. I got there around 9 am on a Saturday morning. It was disappointing with a small selection of produce, breads, honey, herbs, and other less popular items. The best thing I found was the baby daikon. I would return for the daikon and if I'm strawberry picking (just on the opposite side), otherwise, I don't think the selection is enough for me to return or recommend."

The Market At Water Street

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"We got here by pure coincidence! My friend and I always come to water street because we love YuraVine Brothers, and we heard about this little market but we never had the chance to catch it because they do it once a month, and this past sunday they were there. We walked around the market and even got a couple things, flowers, fruits and vegetables are so fresh and affordable in here! I loved that. People were always so nice with every question we had! It was also so nice to see a lot of people with their dogs and kids walking around! It's a great place to spend on a Sunday morning. Every stand seemed so clean! This is a must if you are around water street. They have a lot of parking available super close by. Go get a bobba tea and walk around!"

Bilbrey Family Farm

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I'm so happy to have found this local farm! Their farm stand is open every Friday and Saturday, and they have a beautiful selection of fresh organic produce at a great price. The quality is superior to what you find in a grocery store, and you're buying directly from the source.There were four types of lettuce and a lovely red kale available, I picked up a head of Red Cherokee lettuce. I also bought fairy eggplants (which are delicious anyway you cook them) and some sweet potatoes. I didn't buy too much, but they had honey, various peppers, tomatoes, and more.The farm is run by the nicest couple! They are very helpful and can pick more of anything from the garden if they run out in the tent."

Seminole Heights Sunday Market

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"There is plenty of parking across the street and in the church parking lot for this small outdoor market. There was one guy selling hydroponic veggies which was cool. We got several. There were also other vendors selling art, jewelry, cookies and food via food trucks. There was even a dude playing the guitar and singing for live musical entertainment!The church has clean bathrooms available if you look carefully downstairs in the back. This outdoor market is reportedly open 12pm-4pm on the second Sunday of the month, November through May but we shall see! Life is good with fresh veggies!"

MacDill Fresh Farmers Market

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Amazing market with friendly and fun staff! Amazing food and recommendations. Fresh and very convenient and close by locally! Saves me a drive to Sarasota !"

Pinoy Cravings

★★★★★ 4.6 (10)

"Went here tonight while visiting Swan Brewing. Let me say that I love Filipino food. I did my happy dance when I realized what style of food was being offered. We got the Pinoy Rice. Combo. It arrived under a mesh tent that protected it from anything falling into it while being delivered inside the Brewery. We quickly devoured our meals. You are truly lucky that we got any pictures. It smelled so good and the taste was amazing. The skewers were amazing with charcoal cooked chicken with an amazing sauce. As well the lupia was delicious and the coconut rice was good. Really yummy. The couple Im assuming were the owners were really great and made the experience really amazing. I will definitely be back to this food truck for some amazing food"

John's Fresh Produce Market

★★★★☆ 3.8 (48) • $

"I have tried a few produce market's recently and this one is definitely the best of them. They have a large variety of fruits and vegetables. The prices and quality are great. I was able to find everything that I was looking for and I picked up a few extra things on each trip I have made here. I have tried romaine, red peppers (they had a great selection of HUGE peppers!), mushrooms, red onion, zucchini, cucumber, lemons, and apples from the produce section. They also have a rather impressive grocery section with a lot of specialty or ethnic items. I purchased some greek olive oil, seasoning, feta, grated Parmesan, locally made hummus, and a few other things. They have some baked goods that look incredible too. I have purchased quite a bit here on each trip and my bill has been low. There is typically a line at checkout, but it moves quickly. The service is fast and efficient. I like John's and I will be back (probably almost every week)."

Sun Valley Farms Market

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (21) • $

"I am so blessed to have such a great local produce store near me. Sun Valley Farms has some of the freshest produce I have yet to encounter at the best prices! Not to mention the FRESH GULF SHRIMP for only $6.99/lb! They have a daily delivery of fresh corn tortillas, local raw honey, an olive bar and now a deli. The convenience and warm and welcoming environment make this place a true 5 star in my book."

Lum's Farmers Market

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"It's a market with more than just strawberry fields and produce. They sell handmade soaps, custom made earrings, local honey, plants, and so much more.The petting farm was the highlight for me. It looks like something out of a western movie. It's decorated, but also very functional in sheltering the animals. I spent most of my time feeding the sweetest farm animals ever. They sell $3 bags of pellet feed that basically feeds a wide range of animals, and every single one that I had encountered during that Monday morning visit. All the animals were eating them up like treats. It was such a unique experience. I think they actually loved the attention more than the feed. It was also the first time I've ever met an emu up close. She had a great personality. I didn't realize that there was a large opening in the fence until she started pecking at my feed bag. It was startling, and funny at the same time. I love Chickee Bird! There are many other sweet animals that you can interact with. There were rabbits, pigs, goats, sheep, miniature donkeys, and chickens. They all deserve a shout out. There was even a buffalo, turkey, and a Longhorn Watusi cow with her calf. You may even see the peacock that roams through the market as you're eating your strawberry treats. It was quite impressive, and practically free. There's no admission for the petting zoo. I think I was there for an hour. I didn't want to leave.However, it was time to get some tasty treats. They have all the usual strawberry delights. I selected the Strawberry Paradise which is strawberry ice cream twirled with pineapple Dole Whip. It was delicious and refreshing. I really wanted to get the strawberry cookies that I saw on social media, but they were already sold out. I ended up getting the red velvet cookies which were so very good. They also sell hotdogs, pretzels, and boiled peanuts. But, don't get too full. There is also a permanent food truck in front of the market called Taqueria y Pupuseria Salvadoreña. The owner (Maria) sells her famous hot salsa at the market. Just something to think about when deciding on food options.The people working there are so awesome! They were so happy, friendly, and helpful. It's a family owned market located very close to SR60. Just make that northerly turn onto James L Redman Pkwy. It will be on your right as you head towards Downtown Plant City. I need to go back to try the strawberries, and the shortcake. They own the huge field behind the market, so you now it has to be good. It's just a great family fun day all around."

North Tampa Market

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4) • $$

"Why 4 stars? Because it's a market within walking distance of my house! --- --- ---Full disclosure: there's some geographic bias in this review. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with this market, but I would likely not visit it, if it were not for the fact that it's about a 7 minute walk from my front door.These farmers markets have really blown up over the last couple of years, and it's great. Tons of vendors that don't have the ability to own a brick and mortar store front are provided a means for operating their business. They're essentially traveling gypsy's that happen to sell soap, produce, or various pet merchandise that's not needed, but so darn cute.As for North Tampa Market in particular, it comes with all the typical fixins'. I do wish there were more places to sit and eat, as the ratio of food and people : seating is quite skewed. Also, the market is heavy on the dirt and mud, which also brings more bugs when you do finally find a place to sit and indulge. That being said, the market is fun place for us to hang out on the 2nd Saturday of every month from 10-2 :) I especially enjoy the calming melodies of the musician, as I enjoy my grilled cheese sandwich, kombucha, and banana bread."

Brick Street Farms

★★★★★ 4.6 (14)

"Fantastic - received baby herbs for Pop Goes the Waffle event that they were promoting in conjunction with Brickstreets own offerings. They grow their own hydroponic veggies and herbs to sell locally to restaurants in Tampa and you can also opt in a CSA/farmshare. The individual greenhouses are closed due to Covid-19 *SIGHS* through no fault of theirs obviously, but I really would've loved a tour since we grow a lot of our own herbs and I am easily fascinated by plants. These ladies were so helpful and even gave salad samples they grew with a very delish vinaigrette dressing - YUMMY! They have a pantry that includes honey & other items for purchase.They had a DJ for the event - loved all the Michael Jackson songs being played and the additional picnic tables with a stage, so we were sheltered from the sun. The parking would be small for events since others parked on the side of the road."

Belcher Farmer's Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5) • $

"Support Local! Don't let the location deceive you. Or the name for that matter. This isn't a "Farmers Market" it is an Oriental Grocery Store or market. Located on Belcher Road between East Bay and 142nd ave on the east side of the road in a very dead run down strip mall where most places are no longer open. A ghetto location for sure. When pulling in you might be tempted to drive away despite the several open signs, the store looks closed. Once inside it's a pretty decent sized store, clean and organized. with mostly packaged and frozen goods and a decent selection. Some of the items are on the larger size not allowing for just trying things, for example, Rice can only be purchased in 5 Ib bags for $7. I wasn't trying to shop Costco style LolI'll be honest I was hoping for imported food but alas the items I purchased are from the US. That may be my own unrealistic ideas.Overall if you live in the area and are looking for hard to find oriental food in a mainstream grocery store or want to try some things don't head to amazon, give this market a try and support our small local businesses."

Parkesdale Farm Market

★★★★☆ 4.3 (365) • $$

"Was on my way back from Tampa and figured I'll pass through and see what the hype is about stopped by to check out their famous strawberry milkshake (featured on Food Network!), and let me tell you--it absolutely lives up to the hype! Creamy, perfectly sweet, and packed with fresh strawberry flavor. I wanted to not like it, but I loved it!Beyond the milkshake, the market has a great selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, jams, and plants. The atmosphere is lively, and it's a great spot to grab a quick treat or stock up on fresh goods."

Hummingbird Gardens

★★★★☆ 4.3 (29) • $

"I clearly did not experience the same magic that other guests did here. This place was recommended to me as a cool spot to buy plants, and while there were plants for sale, they were scattered around in a random fashion with no apparent rhyme or reason. Plus - none of the plants for sale had a price on them, or even what kind they were, so when I was interested in one, I had to bring it up to the one person working (the Owner?) to request a price.The gardens for the "event space" part of of this location are gorgeous, with lots of fun and interesting nooks for pictures. This would be a great option for an outdoor wedding. However the "farmer's market" had very limited options, and the "plants for sale" only had confusing options. This was a once and done for me."

Land O Lakes Farmers Market

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (6) • $

"Love this place!!! We've been coming for years! The employees are friendly, the produce fresh, the location is easy to get in/out of, and the prices are reasonable."

Sweetwater Organic Community Farm

★★★★☆ 3.9 (28) • $$

"Sweet Water Organic Community Farm hosts a farmer's market to the public every Sunday from October until May. The market is pretty tiny in comparison to other farmer's markets in Tampa, but it offers all of your basic market essentials. Organic and local produce, plants and flowers, fresh eggs, raw milk and cheese, freshly baked bread, organic coffee beans, raw local honey, hippie clothing, handmade jewelry, and soaps and lotions are available for purchase from noon until 4 p.m. at the Sunday market. My husband and I visited the Sweet Water Sunday market on opening day (October 18th 2015). Available parking was scarce during our visit; I'm not sure if the market is normally this busy on other Sundays. We brought our fur baby to the market (Note: pets must wear leashes!) and he enjoyed meeting the other dogs. During our visit we explored the gardens and visited Sweetie the Pig and the chicken coop. It didn't take us long to browse the vendors and the farm. Once I purchased my fruits and vegetables we ordered a Rasta burger with avocado and a green smoothie. The burger was very tasty and had a nice spicy kick. The green smoothie was good too, but I wish it was served colder. We enjoyed our burger while listening to some live music on stage.TIP: Bring cash! Most of the vendors do not accept plastic.This probably won't be my go-to Sunday farmer's market, but this tiny and charming farmer's market is worth a stop if you are looking to buy locally."

The Farmhouse at Gillman Farms

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Stop 6 on our strawberry pass. This was a first time and we are so happy we came here. I would have not heard about this farm until the pass.This was our fave strawberry shortcake. It cost $6 and a dollar more for ice cream. We had a BOGO and they split the ice cream btw the two. This was quite different than Parkesdale. No idea why but it was just so much tastier. More strawberries, more syrup, not dry. So fresh. It's a good size farm of strawberries and then a farmhouse with picnic tables, produce and inside a shop with a menu for sandwiches and drinks and strawberry goodies! Also Keel Winery is like 5 from here for so definitely go to both."

Jam's Produce

★★★★☆ 3.7 (48) • $

"This is an excellent produce market with a good selection and fair prices.As with all fresh produce markets, the affordable prices DO mean you should plan to eat all you buy here within 5 days or it may go bad.If you want pink, hard tomatoes you can still enjoy a week later, go pay double at Publix, but why?Like other similar markets in the area, they also carry a wide variety of unusual European and Hispanic items.Well worth a visit!"

Westchase Sunday Morning Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6) • $$

"Really enjoyed my time here. We went to The Grind to have brunch and saw they had locals selling products they either hand make or produce. The area is so beautiful and the sellers were all very friendly and accommodating. Spent a few dollars here, but we don't regret it since we love supporting locally owned business and support hard working people."

A Simpler Place Farm & Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (7) • $$

"Great selection of organic produce including from local farms. Produce is well labeled. They also have local honey and a demo farm, chickens, and apiary (bee hives) on site you can visit. Foundation Coffee up the road a short stretch. What more could you ask for?They also have terrific events for kids (art or farm tours) and families (yoga). So follow them on Facebook and our Instagram. They are out east of Tampa so if you live out that way or are out that way def stop in. You won't regret it. Feel good wholesome food that supports out local economy. And the prices are quite fair. Also Gulf Coast Sourdough and some other treats. Very kid friendly. Wholesome. If you're in South Tampa, South Tampa Farm is also cool and Sweetwater Farm is great in Town and Country, but this spot may be even better, especially for out east toward Brandon and Riverview. Good clean healthy fun. Fresh tumeric. Ginger. Other spices. Swiss chard. Keep in mind the local produce especially is seasonal. Fall and spring especially lots on offer. Beans. Pole beans. Okra. Maters. Beautiful and farm fresh grown. One of my fav places in the area. Makes me smile"

St Angela's Farmers Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"We stopped in here to pick up some produce for a long day of cooking! Super friendly folks! We picked up some onions, cheeses, a sourdough kit, and some lemon olive oil. Really happy with all of our items, and will definitely be back to support local business!"

Tampa Bay Farmers Outlet

★★★★☆ 4 (3) • $

"In the peak of summer heat, there are fewer vendors open, fewer selections and very few local items. Today we could not find broccoli or mushrooms, but some great deals on avocados. Most of the available stuff like tomato, cabbage and lettuce are clearly shipped in and wilt in the mid-day sun. This place is best in the winter growing season for Central Florida when strawberries and green veggies are abundant and cheap."

Seminole Heights Sunday Morning Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (24) • $$

"This is a great smaller local market. If you truly want to purchase items from local sellers, this is the place to go.I have come home with plants, candles, purses, jewelry, and jam, all made from craftspeople located in the Tampa Bay area. There usually seems to be about 25-30 booths of crafts and food, a produce stand, and about 10 food/drink trucks on any given 2nd Sunday of the month. There are also local interest booths - this past weekend there was a Seminole Height's booth, advertising the Seminole Height's Home Tour and selling t-shirts.If you do want to eat something you've purchased here, find the shady section of grass in front of the stage area, which usually has local musicians performing for your listening pleasure.There is a great children's section, too, with crafts, play area, and specialty booths geared towards kids.Also not to be missed is the opportunity to take a tour of historic Hillsborough High School, which is the oldest high school in Hillsborough County, dating back to 1928. They have student ambassadors giving guided tours, and it was pretty cool to see the inside of this massive structure. There is usually a sign stuck in the ground near the front entrance of the school giving more details about when the tours start.The market only operates from October through May because it is too darn hot the rest of the year. Make sure you wear your sunscreen/hat too, because there is minimal shade to be had."

Dunedin Green Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (10) • $$

"This is a wonderful market!What a variety of vendors!When my mom comes into town,This is where I'll send her!The first time I came hereIt was on a cloudy Friday. There may have been a few less tentsBut it helped to keep crowds at bay. Here you can buy produce, Fresh breads, nuts and jellies. Strong, hot coffee Yummy lobster rolls for your belly!One vendor sells beautiful art. Yet another had fresh seafood. So grab your pup or your partner To stroll thru the Dunedin neighborhood. You can also find handmade soapsAnd herbaceous plants to grow. I don't know what you're waiting for. You really just need to go!"

Starkey Market

★★★★☆ 3.8 (88) • $$

"We live just a mile down the street and frequent here a lot after a bike ride. The staff is always super friendly. The blackberry farm is now out of season but it's fun to go pick them when they are ripe!Thursday evening they offer trivia and they always have great food trucks on The Weekends. Great local place to enjoy food, a drink or just to check out their store that has a ton of great items."

Lakeview Farm Store

★★★★★ 4.7 (43) • $

"Great quality and wide variety of produce, both organic (in the refrigerated section to the right) and not (in the refrigerated section straight ahead).Several kinds of expertly homemade style breads that smell & look heavenly (on the checkout counter in the back right corner).They carry raw dairy (for your pets), which is such an amazing treat. I'm a licensed practitioner of Chinese medicine, and know from my graduate professional degree coursework as well as 14 years in private practice in NYC that raw milk doesn't produce phlegm, so very healthful, in addition to how delicious it is. In some states it's legal to buy it for people; in Florida, it's only legal to sell it for animals to consume. How whack is that??! (My dog thinks he's died and gone to heaven when I give him some raw dairy with his meal!). I remember spending Summers in Canada on my Dad's brother's and cousins' farms where they'd squirt raw milk directly from the teat of the cow into our mouths as kids. It tasted like warm ice cream‼ Ah! Raw milk! Too bad Florida doesn't allow it to be sold in stores for human consumption, but that's the upside down kinds of laws we have in this state. Sigh.My husband & I drive here once a week to stock our fridge. If you're a foodie, you'll love this place. The owner & staff are so nice and helpful, which just makes it that much nicer. We LOVE this place!Highly recommended"

Carrollwood Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"I found out about this market through one of the vendors that I follow. While this is not my favorite market (because of the dirt) they have great vendors and food. Just remember to wear close toe shoes lol. Parking was simple enough; there's a get in where you fit in type of vibe. I luckily found parking right on the market grounds but there was parking on the road. It was a nice day out, I'd definitely go again."

Strawberry Passion Farm

★★★★☆ 4.4 (14) • $

"Very cute little farm not to far from the city. We came before strawberry seasoned ended and got what was left over. But that didn't stop us from enjoying some time with the kids and looking for delicious little berries for the kids to eat. They also make strawberry short cake and shakes from the fresh fruits grown on the farm. Not to mention it's all organic!"

Dunedin Fresh Market

★★★★☆ 3.9 (19) • $

"I have stopped by this produce stand many times as it is on my daily commute route. Unfortunately I have had a few too many experiences with less than ideal produce, and I probably will not return at this point. I often go there to buy mini cucumbers and tomatoes. However, again today upon cutting open that produce, neither of the items seemed new or fresh. The cucumbers looked and tasted sour/old. I do like some of the specialty European products that they carry here, such as cookies, spreads and meats (although they are more expensive than the other markets that carry these types of goods). Unfortunately I just cannot get past the lack of produce quality. I will go elsewhere next time."

Green's Market Meat & Produce

★★★★★ 4.6 (10) • $

"If you are looking for a place that actually has butchers on staff, this is it. They care about what they do and it shows. It's an older building with all kinds of meats, frozen items and veggies as well as things you need like freezer bags, spices and the like. The sales are terrific and if you want a piece of beef cut into steaks, or pork cut, they do it just the way you want it. Check their online site for specials and sales and then head over there. I am going to day because boneless, skinless chicken breasts are $1.39 a pound today. Oh yeah. I'm stocking up."

Thrifty Specialty Produce & Meats of St. Cloud

★★★★☆ 3.7 (27) • $$

"I found this little taste of tropical paradise in Saint Cloud a few years ago. They have so much to offer that you may not find in the regular grocery stores. Stocked with mainly Latin foods, you will find fresh fruits from the islands and vegies that are beautifully displayed, and quality meets that you can get straight from the inhouse butcher. They have a carryout hot foods section that serves the best empanadas, sandwiches, pastries and more. The carryout is always packed with customers, especially at lunch time. There is just so much to choose from at great prices. If you are looking for a grocery store/market that caries culturally specific items, this is the place to be. You can find spices, sauces, beans and nuts, seafood, etc. They even have a small medicine section. There is a small parking lot, but depending on when you go, it can be hard to find parking. This is a popular place for those that are in the know here. The staff is very friendly and patient while you try to make a choice. Knowing Spanish will take you a long way, but not needed. There are some English-speaking employees if you need assistance. I look forward to my next visit and all the wonderful, traditional, and homemade Latin foods that they offer."

Hillsborough Ave Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (6) • $

"Who else like to eat healthy? Well I know I try my best, but have you seen the prices for fruit and veggies at the grocery store? I have known of the farmers market for year but never shopped there for whatever reason. Well as we all know money doesn't go as far as it used to so I have been looking for ways to save. Drove by this Farmers Market and decided to give them a look and see what they were all about. Must say I am in love with this place. Everything obviously is locally grown so you get to support local farmers and the prices are completely amazing. Squash 3 for $2 zucchini 3 for $2 seedless watermelons $2 and so sweet and juicy tangerines 5 for $2 I got 3 grocery bags full of fruit and veggies for $16. They are cash only, there is only one place there that takes credit cards and he is a little more on prices but not much. Plus when you go here you don't have all the wax and chemicals and what not that the stores put on to make them look pretty. They carry what is in season which is fine with me, give you a chance to change up and what you eat. They also have some fruit that you really can't usually find in the stores. So bottom line you should go here. 1 you can eat healthy, 2 you won't go broke eating healthy, 3 you get to help out local workers."
