Niceville Farmers Market at Twin Cities Pavilion — Attraction in Niceville

I was a vendor at this market for almost a year. Customers need to know about what is going on here and future vendors are warned. I came to this market to sell my goods and to hopefully make this a better market. From the time I arrived, I was bullied by another vendor, Mike (Broken Arm Mama). The on site manager did what he could but the owner Diane (who she and her husband gave their own market 5 stars on this site to boost their reviews) could care less. It came down to Mike attacking my stand and damaging my tent and coming at my husband. The proof was there but Diane would not believe Mike would do something like that. I did not call the police like I should have respecting her wishes and trying to not bring down the market. But Mike had no problem calling the police on my husband and the police found in our favor and wanted us to press charges against him. We did not and tried to put the incident behind us and move on.

Also, at flea markets I have gone to have vendors offering very reasonable priced handmade items from wooden toys to quilts. The flea market, besides the fruit n veggie vendors have very few offering "flea market value pricing" Don't believe I will return there...

This was a pleasant surprise that I found out about on Facebook. Took my chances to stop by to see it for myself. The weather wasn't really that great for that day...it was wet and windy but the local farmers were determined to be there and I greatly appreciated their determination for that. It was nice to be able to have some fresh veggies and my husband found him some sweet confections as well. We need to support our local farmers especially since there doesn't seem to be too many of them left. Hats off to all our...
