Read moreWonderful Saturday farmers market set in a friendly park. A good number and mix of vendors. So U can easily buy enough to eat and drink to make for a nice picnic under the shade of trees with plenty of Spanish moss. But bring your own blanket or folding chairs cos no benches here.
The pathway is wide enough so that - unlike the FM in Coconut Grove - U can walk around without bumping into people. To my experience (been there twice) most vendors are quite friendly too and happy to give a sample and explain their wares.
The downsides are parking spaces. Though there are many available near the park, it is very popular and they fill up fast on Saturday. And the prices…. I paid $12 for a subpar sourdough bread that would have cost me max $10 for much better quality at a number of bakeries in town. I also paid $32 for a smallish wedge of excellent Dutch cheese.

I’ve never put a cap on how many vendors are associated with this location, and my five-star review was genuine. But your smart, sarcastic comment has given me pause. It almost makes me want to downgrade my rating to one star just to make a point.
I know you boast 42 registered vendors, which sounds impressive. But let's be real—when was the last time you managed to get all 42 of them out there at the same time? There's a big difference between having vendors on the list and having them all present and accounted for. I am also friends with several vendors from attending every week that even the Vendors have told me that they switch out from your location to other Farmer Market locations in Miami every other weekend.
So, Looking forward to your next witty retort, or better yet, seeing all 42 vendors in...
