Spring Farmer's Market, Downtown Panama City, FL

This is one of the best ideas I've heard about in a long, long time! With all the fresh fruits and vegetables that are grown in our local area in the spring and summer, this event is going to be a success! This is a great idea for local families and for visitors to our warm climate.

Heres to healthy eating!

Hi, Susan,

Yes, I agree! Spring is the time of year to enjoy more veggies, fruit, salads, etc ... and walking around the farmers market is great exercise, too!

Hi Jan: Those all look so absolutely yummy. But, a lot of good they are going to do me at 1:00am. I just love shopping at Farmer's Markets. Nothing quite like them. Thanks for sharing.

Jan, great photos! And this post is not one to peruse while hungry! The watermelon looks totally amazing!

Jan E: I just love Farmer's Markets. I'm glad I had already eaten my dinner... this post would have made me very hungry. Are you still coming to Nashville this weekend?

Hi, KA,

I'm really looking forward to this downtown event. We really don't have anything like this.. just a very very small farmers market at the fair grounds for a few weeks during the summer. People just drive up and sell stuff out of their truck beds! Not so much fun... this should be soooo much better!

Hello, Patricia,

Watermelon is one of my favorite things about summer! Sounds like I chose some good photos! Thanks!

Hi, Jan W:

Yes, coming to Nashville next weekend... first weekend in April.

Hi Jan,
Love a Farmer's market and all the fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers. Ours won't open for about another month when strawberries are ready.

Cynthia,

Strawberries sound wonderful. Be sure to write a post when it opens. We'll all want to see the pics. Thanks for commenting!

I love going to Farmer's Markets!!! The produce is so much better than the grocery store!

Bill and Barbara Jo-

That is so true... why is it that vegetables at a farmers market just have a better taste than the ones in the grocery? Something satisfying about buying veggies directly from a farmer, I think!

We have talked about a market in our area, hope yours goes well. My daughter and her husband love Panama City.

Hi, Carol,

Thank you for your comment. I will try to let you know how this one goes and maybe it will offer some ideas for your market. Nice to hear that your family enjoys Panama City. Come visit with us sometime!

Hi, Kim,

Thanks for commenting today... I am planning to go on 4/12 and take some real life photos, and post them!

Jan~Those pictures are absolutely inviting. The Farmer's Market are quite a hit and your post will definitely help those on the search in your area. Have a wonderful week!

Hi, Julie,

Thank you! Hopefully new families to our area will enjoy the abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables here. Hope you are doing well, my friend. Enjoy the beautiful spring weather headed your way!

Jan, you had me hooked at the watermelon, but by the time I got to the corn, WOW! I love farmers markets, one of the highlight of my spring and summer Saturdays!

Hi Jan,
I love Farmer's market with all the fresh fruit and produce. We're looking forward to the strawberries in May!

Hi, Debbie,

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the spring season getting into full swing with all the fresh fruit and veggies. BTW, I love your signature... pretty script.

Cynthia,

Good to hear from you! Hope you have a beautiful and blessed spring season. I love strawberries, too!

Jan, I love farmers' markets. We are just starting our "Viva Downtown" in June and every Thursday night we have art, wine and a farmers market in Redding. I'm getting ready to do a nice post on it. It is my favorite thing to do. You do a lot of nice work for your consumer. That's what it's all about. Enjoyed the read!

Hi, Jeanean,

Good to hear from you! Thanks for your kind and encouraging comments on this post. I will look forward to reading your upcoming post about "viva downtown Redding" ... sounds like it will be a lot of fun, too.

Jan, I think this is another post I found out here on Farmers Markets. Always makes me want to run over there and hand select this primo produce. Don't you just love Farmers Markets?? I sure do.

Gary:

Love the fresh produce and the warmer spring weather!

Gotta love farmers markets! WE ALL need to purchase from them more often!

Christina,

Where you live, I would think you could get fresh home-grown produce all the time. Thanks for commenting.

Christina, I never thought of a farmers market in Panama City. I always think of a seafood market when we are in Panama City.

Greg,

We do have some goooooood seafood here .... fresh from the Gulf of Mexico! But we are also right in the middle of some good farming areas.... and close enough to Alabama and Georgia to have some fresh "God-grown" fruit and vegetables to enjoy!
