If it's strawberry season, I'm heading to Parksdale to pick up some strawberries and grab a sweat…read moretreat. The "world famous" strawberry milkshakes live up to the hype and are well worth any wait in line. I love how creamy they are and the fact that they include chunks of strawberries. Don't sleep on just a plain bowl of strawberries with whipped cream either. I normally find myself wanting more strawberries after a milkshake, and the bowl of strawberries is the perfect compliment. As for the lines, they can be pretty long. But they do a really good job at making the lines move quickly. The prices are also very reasonable. The market also has all sorts of fresh veggies, fruits, and strawberry related items, like jams, breads, and even cookies!

Feel good wholesome food that supports out local economy. And the prices are quite fair. Also Gulf Coast Sourdough and some other treats. Very kid friendly. Wholesome. If you're in South Tampa, South Tampa Farm is also cool and Sweetwater Farm is great in Town and Country, but this spot may be even better, especially for out east toward Brandon and Riverview. Good clean healthy fun. Fresh tumeric. Ginger. Other spices. Swiss chard. Keep in mind the local produce especially is seasonal. Fall and spring especially lots on offer. Beans. Pole beans. Okra. Maters. Beautiful and farm fresh grown. One of my fav places in the area. Makes me smile

There's a small makers market for handmade soaps and jewelry as well as cookbooks and honey. Service so far has been excellent. Very friendly plenty of parking.

They have a petting zoo where you can also feed the animals, you can rent out the space for parties, they have hay rides and little cars your kiddos can ride.

They keep the warehouse 61-66° which must be great for the fresh foods. Prices beat Publix in avocados, strawberries, and more. I loved the "defect" section where foods past their date are offered at 0.45cent/lb. It reminds me of the company that saves "ugly" produce from grocery stores to resell at a discount.

Nice little produce store!! Located inside a warehouse. Plenty of parking, they're also handicap…read moreaccessible from the parking lot. And,they will take debit/credit cards & cash. Lots of selections. As stated by other others in the review section, prices are quite good here. Most vegetables/fruit are fairly fresh. Several weren't 100% fresh, but as a shopper, if you have some care and due diligence you will find many great items. When we went there they definitely had the AC/coolers on . So as a person, if you tend to run cold wear a jacket in here. I would rather see that so that they are keeping all their products cool to increase shelf life. Girl at counter was very friendly, and had a good attitude. This is a much better alternative than the local grocery stores.

It's finally here and (just about) open! The Market on Kentucky is another cool and hip concept…read morecoming to Downtown Lakeland that's sure to be a hit. The storefront is right next door to Frescos, because they are owned by the same people. I remember talking to one of the Frescos owners last summer when they were first embarking on opening this market, and she told me how there would be a "make your own charcuterie board" option so I was already all in. Fast forward to visiting while they're having their soft opening and it's such a cool space. As promised, there are charcuterie pickings and a few other vendors in here. I believe some of them used to set up at the Lakeland Farmers Market and have now been given a permanent home here which is absolutely amazing. We tried some handmade chocolates that were fabulous! You can get so many goodies here beyond that, though- cocktail materials, fresh cut meats, coffee, like 7 different flavors of butter, fresh baked goods and much more. They have a lot of cute Lakeland merch and there's even a flower vendor you can order customized bouquets from. It's a beautiful setup and concept. There is a bit of seating but definitely somewhere to check out when walking around downtown LKLD. I'm excited to watch this place continue to grow and thrive! I couldn't find a website but you can keep up with them on Facebook (Market on Kentucky) & Instagram (@marketonkentucky) !

They aren't doing a great job marketing themselves yet, but they're inspired, dedicated, friendly, selling quality & gourmet. Some prices marked UP from selling at the market. Hours inconsistent between "Market Hours" and individual vendor hours. All product vendors/owners are not on site. Meager & uncomfortable inside seating, couple bistro tables outside. Products are 5-star quality. Need more time to grow into themselves as a team, market well & price products reasonably.

I like it! But! Now that i process the moderate time i spent there? It's massive n hooot! Like i do…read morerecommend u bring a drink n some bags or cart to carry your stuff. I got confused from the gps taking me to the Farmers market side. But both parkings connect. My map picture shows u which is which. Left is flea market n right is hidden behind business for the farmers market. Huge heads up!; although they open from 3AM to 6PM? 75% leaves before 11am! Its crazy how we just got there around 10:45ish? N immidietly they started packing! I seriously missed outa some good bargains. More on their loss, cuz we buy n help local shops hard! We found so much good things on the first building on the left if u look at our map near my car location. I cant judge the rest of the vendors but i plan on coming back since they open daily ish. Heres the bad: A lot of prepackaged food products under the sun without covering. Stay away from that. Melted vitamins n candies. No fda approval anywhere. So many vendors buy from good will or any drift stores, don't even remove the tags. For example. Guy bought poor looking cups at $1.98 n tried to up price it at $20. I ell him he bought for $1.98 and they weren't even polished just heavy damaged. No price negotiations i left it. (Important notes: i know the value of metals in the current economy, the value of items n got a phone on hand to do research on the spot to come into a fair price. I do not support gaugers) A lot of products on the mud! Holy crap! It's crazy how much clothes n toys on the. Mud! Place is hella huge! Some vendors in the mud, there is a paved road in main areas but like i said nit every vendor in pavement. Did i mentioned hot as hell? Bring umbrella and some snacks n drinks. Farmers side parking closes at 4pm, park on flea side. But i think u can just drive across. Since i like to end in good notes; Its huge!! Lol Can find anything Has bathrooms, some vendors offer food n drinks. BRING A SPANISH SPEAKING FRIEND!! (Im bi lingual mom knows like 4, kindness is your go to card no matter what) Mostly wheelchair friendly, i say that with the notion that the pavement ends at the entrance at most the vendors i saw. Just a fyi, bring a buddy. FREEE PARKING. And to end this, place isn't for fancy types. I grew up with these types of markets n i love adventure! So i blend in just fine. Next time im coming full camo n no cute dresses or shoes lol and a cane! My legs kept getting really tired counter balancing the uneven floor. Its a 4/5 for me but ill update after i come back n hit it full with proper gear and backup plan.

The flea market is only open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday only. If you have a group of friend like to shop, I would said gather their request and share the wholesaler prices. Definitely worthwhile.
