The Sarasota Farmers Market was established in 1979. The market continues its tradition of serving the community with local produce, plants, prepared foods, and artisans.
Our mission is to create a social opportunity for residents and visitors to gather and interact, to bring foot traffic to downtown Sarasota supporting the economic viability of the entire downtown area, and to provide a venue for other non-profit organizations benefiting our community. Inherent in our mission is educating consumers and sharing knowledge about the products and services of local farmers, local businesses, and local artisans.
We currently have a full market that includes 80 vendors and 5,000 square feet of produce and plants.
