Farmers Market near Croissant Park


I'm not being paid for this.
Not even a free strawberry!!

I just want to share this rather enjoyable find in Fort Lauderdale. It's a Farmers Market called "Marando Farms" and it's just a block west of Broward General ... I visited the Market for the first time Saturday and took the pictures below.

The owners go down to the farms in Homestead on Fridays and pick up fresh organic produce, then sell it over the weekend. They're open Saturday and Sunday 9-4. They've got live chickens, pigs, rabbits on display. Organic breads. $16-a-bottle REAL maple syrup! Herbs. A hydroponic garden. Relishes. Lots of interesting food stuff. Take a look below!

Take Davie Blvd. to Andrews Ave ... go south to SW 14th Street, turn right, go one short block!

It's behind where Brownies used to be ...
... across the street from the Eastside Antique Market & Architectural Depot, 99 SW 14th Street ...
... just up the street from the Antique Car Museum (Saturdays, 10-4) http://antiquecarmuseum.org/ ...

It seems to be a really nice, small business and I hope this helps give it a boost! That will help local farmers, too!! And my Poinciana Park neighborhood!

Enjoy!
Cal

Months ago I started hearing a rooster crowing in the morning. Yesterday I met him!
