Welcome to the Fernandina Farmers Market
Mingle with local farmers and business owners as you wander through a dizzying selection of farm direct fruits and vegetables harvested just before Market day, as well as a variety of organic products, and specialty foods. You'll also discover gourmet baked goods from crusty breads to delectable desserts, and prepared foods such as jellies, relishes and marinades. The Market is also the perfect location to choose from a wide variety of specialty tropical plants and landscaping plants, including orchids, herbs, and garden flowers.
When: Every Saturday, 9am - 1pm, except we are closed for the Shrimp Festival which is the first Saturday in May.
Where: Corner of Centre Street & 7th Street North in the beautiful downtown historic district of Fernandina Beach. There is plenty of parking available.

At the Market on Saturday, July 4, Thompson All-Natural Pork will have all the perfect Independence Day BBQ items: ribs, pork burgers, and more. Proper Pie will have a special menu for your weekend and Checkers Cracker Cookin' will have a lunch box ready to go to the beach. Our 2 blueberry farmers have finished for the season although Boatright Farms still will have blueberries a little while longer.
Also, this Saturday on July 4th, the 2009 American Legion Auxiliary Cookbook, Unit 54 will be available at the Market. This is a one of a kind cookbook that has not been done before and will probably not be done again for many years. The recipes come from all members of the American Legion, sons of the American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary and the American Legion Riders. The book has been dedicated to the "Old Log Cabin" and the City of Fernandina Beach for their generosity and kindness in allowing the Legion the opportunity to make the Cabin their home for so many years. Funds from the cookbook sales will beocme part of the Legion's general fund which is used to send care packages to our troops, supplies to the VA hospital, Relay for Life cancer, adopt a family at Christmas time, Micah's Place and many other organizations within the community.
Returning: 7/11 - Sweet Grass Dairy
