Punta Gorda Farmer's Market

"We were fortunate to come across this farmers market while we were geocaching and walking around the area. The fresh Italian bread is excellent, and the fresh baked smell drew us over to the stand. We are enjoying the fresh baked Grammies cakes banana and Walnut bread. We purchased oranges, grapes, and fresh eggs. The Mr. opened up one of the oranges behind me, and the fresh orange smell was overwhelming in an excellent way. We were hoping to go back to the Farmers Market in North Port on Sunday, but the rain canceled it out."

"Great place for Saturday morning shopping outdoors! Jimmy’s Java is a must for fresh roasted coffee."

"The market is so close to being great. But small things irked me. The fish stand sells farmed fish. All of the produce stands said they are conventional and not organic, and the pickle stand uses preservatives. Lots of booths, but if you are here for high quality food this isn't the best market."

"Really a fun experience. We try to go every Saturday. Great breakfast sandwiches, vegetables and fruit, breads, cake, deserts, fresh and frozen seafoods…"

"I’ve been to many different farms markets around the east coast of the country. This is definitely a VERY good one (hands down). Fresh produce from local farmers and stores. You can make a whole meal with dessert and drinks. There’s crafts and other great things. A must see when in the area. Raymond H. NJ."
