Lakewood Farmers Market
Review
The market had a
fantastic turnout of people on it's return
after nearly three years
away.
People from the area and close around have endorsed the return with enthusiasm and
excitement.
The market offers a wide variety of vendors with
fresh farm produce, organic products, arts & crafts
which includes local Siesta Key-Sarasota artist Lloyd Dobson, spices & sauces
and beverages and snacks to name a few of what you
will see and enjoy as well as some live music.
Jen McCafferty is the owner of Jen's MarketPlace and
organizer of the Lakewood Ranch Farmers Market, Apollo Beach Farmers Market and The
Largo Central Park Farmers Market. The Lakewood Ranch Main Street farmer's market
will be held on the 4th Saturday of every month from
10am to 2pm
That Is Jen On The Right
The Lakewood Ranch area is one of Southwest Florida’s
most famous stretch of master-planned suburbia and
covers the southeastern corner of Manatee County. Activity is everywhere and
uniquely different from most communities. The Ranch does
have a downtown entertainment district, which
in this case lines and surrounds the aptly named
Lakewood Main Street.
It’s where you will find these 20 businesses offering
everything from food and drink to surfboards and
Hollywood films. On the first Friday night of every month you can come out and enjoy
live music, dancing and much more on main street.
Visitors to the pet friendly farmer's market can also
enjoy a bite to eat at picnic tables under umbrellas near the vendors, listen to guitar
music from a local musician, and meet and
mingle with the community.
Some of the local merchants lining up along the main street
are American Shore Trading Company, Ana Molinari, Arts A
Blaze Studio, Big Olaf Creamery, Ed's Tavern, EL Lago Ranchero, Fannie May, Fast N
Fresh, The Fish Hole, Hana Sushi Lounge, Lakewood
Ranch Cinemas, MacAllisters Grill and Tavern, Main Street Bazaar, Main Street Trattoria,
Paris Bistrot, Pastries By Design, Pinchers Crab Shack, Polo Grill and Bar, Station 400
and Vanessa Fine Jewelry. Hope I didn't leave anyone
out.So come visit us at the
Lakewood Ranch Farmers Market the last Saturday of the month from 10:00am to 2pm. We'll see you there.
