Fodor's Expert Review Winter Park Farmers’ Market

It's worth getting up early on a Saturday to amble through the local farmers' market (8 am to 1 pm), a favorite destination for food, flowers, and fellowship since 1979. Within and just outside a historical train station, some 85 vendors hawk everything from fresh vegetables and artisanal cheeses to locally produced honey and dried fruit. Eggs from Lake Meadow Naturals share space with Luna moth and swallowtail chrysalises from the “Butterfly Man” or chopped pineapple from Indian River fruit. A quick coffee and fresh croissant from the market is a great way to jump start a day of Park Avenue shopping. You can park on nearby streets and the public lots on New York Avenue and Morse Boulevard and Lyman and New England avenues.
