It's an open air flea market. It's clean and maintained. Because it's an open air market populated by older folks, smoking is pretty regular throughout.

Read moreIt is not just the market the whole town deserves a day trip, remote it may seem but it is really worth the journey. The market is bustling with local friendly vendors making it extra special. Do not be misguided by the word farmers in the name it is full of all sorts of remarkable bygones and has outside casual stalls where the most unexpected can be found. The market cafe boasts real tasty Phillipino food which is really nice and tasty. The market seems to be a focal point for the entire area with a real cultural country theme. Complimenting the market are the nearby streets full of antique shops, thrifts and a good variation of High Street wares. Fanning Springs awaits, more antiques, just up the road. Be there...
