Buy Local

Farmers Markets provide opportunities to purchase products from local farmers and artisans. Many markets offer fresh produce, bread, and specialty items.  Florida has several available farmers markets to shop at. The Market Shops in Sandestin have a display every Sunday morning year round. Rosemary Beach has the 30A market open every Sunday morning and on Thursdays during the summer. Fresh local seafood and organic juices are also available at this location. The Green at Gulf Place in Santa Rosa Beach opens a market each Sunday until 2pm, offering fruit and vegetables as well as handmade crafts. Beginning this week, Grand Boulevard will also have a market available each Wednesday in Grand Park. These are just a few of the markets in our area. Go to a market near you and get to know the person who grew your food while picking out fresh eats.
