North Tampa Market

Book mark for long time. Cannot find a Saturday that is free. Finally a free time with the right weekend, it make my book mark full fill. It is very small market. It should be able to finish visiting for one hour. If decided to try their food truck is about one and half hour. The food truck included the Mexican, burger, Thai, mini donut, hot dog and more. I like the art work display. In including the live plant. They have unique potting systems that plant and air dry systems. Watering only once a few days. They also has electricity bike that can combine the paddle power and electricity for 50 miles range. The vendor includes egg farm, fresh market, power supplements, sourdough bread, sprouts veggies. There are many interesting vendor in the stand.

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.

Food, Ethnic foods, Food trucks , music, shaded area to sit. Fresh veg vendors along with other vendors. Oh and my favorite food truck Riddle on the Griddle grills cheese truck is always there . It is a shame that it is only once a month . The Carrollwood cultural center puts on a great market. It is a must go to on the 2nd Saturday of the month.

Cool artist Open market event at Bearss Groves, was not your typical craft fair. but actually really cool artist and craftsmen and good food. I have been happily going to Bearss Grooves for years for my fruit and veggies but now this added event has really given our north Tampa community some flavor.
