The Coral Gables Farmers Market is a small
outdoor European-style greenmarket located in the heart of Coral Gables. The
market brings to the City the freshest produce grown in South Florida where
shoppers buy direct from farmers. You will find a colorful and tasty selection
of just-picked local vegetables including onions, peppers, beans, eggplants,
tomatoes, herbs, and sumptuous fruits ranging from the gourmet to the
gargantuan. A variety of fresh-squeezed juices, milkshakes, preserves, pesto’s,
chutneys, honey, and of course plenty of Dade County strawberries. There are
fresh-baked pies, cakes, muffins, breads, cookies, and pastries from local
bakeries, as well as a large variety of flowering plants, fruit trees,
greenhouse plants, herbs, shrubs for indoor/outdoor use, and an abundance of
fresh cut flowers. Oh, and don’t forget there’s Tai Chi in the park,
gardening workshops, cooking demonstrations and children’s activities too!
