Everyone loves a good farmers market, right? There is something so rewarding about waking up early on a Saturday and enjoying a stroll through the different vendor tents, seeing all the local fruits and vegetables and artisan goods.

What has been around since the 1970s has turned into one of the greatest farmers markets in the state of Florida, and it deserves a visit.
The Sarasota Farmers Market has been a staple within the community since 1979.
