The Alachua Farmers Market has quickly become one of my favorite Saturday morning stops. It's not…read morehuge, but it's packed with charm, friendly vendors, and some really great food options. I love walking around, checking out the booths, and finding new local treasures. One of my absolute musts now is a matcha drink from Honey Nitro + Cold Brew. I had never tried matcha before, but a friend recommended their version with vanilla or lavender, and oh my gosh, it was creamy, smooth, and totally addictive. I seriously didn't know I could love matcha this much! Pappa Thai's summer rolls are another go-to. They're fresh, flavorful, and honestly hit the spot every single time. Light but filling and perfect for walking around with. And I can't forget Proud Pickles, they're such a fun little stand, and I'm absolutely obsessed with their items. Sweet, tangy, spicy, you name it, they've got it. I'm giving 4 stars only because I wish there were a few more vendors but I understand Gainesville is a small town. But honestly, it's still such a lovely experience and totally worth checking out if you're in the area.

This was my first time at this market and I'm so sad I didn't find it sooner! There were tons of…read morevendors and a nice covered area to walk through. The parking is pretty easy and it seemed like there were plenty of spots, and all of the vendors I interacted with were very kind and friendly. I got a sesame bagel from BagelCorp (forgot to get a pic!) and a cherry chocolate chip scone from Voltaire, and both were pretty yummy and not too expensive. I'll definitely be back!

I am definitely partial to their ginormous watermelons that are THE sweetest ones I have ever tasted! And the peaches at their peak, OMG! When it comes to nuts, this store is an homage to the pecan and the peanut offering everything from butters, candies, fresh, roasted, syrups, etc. you most definitely can't go wrong with sugar free roasted pecan syrup for your pancakes and if available, a nice size bag of some freshly boiled Cajun peanuts to snack on! They also carry fairly priced Vidalia onions which I always stock up on a few bags every time I visit. There is a vast assortment of jam, jellies, chutneys, dressings, pickles, honeys, syrups,fruitcakes, juices, etc..... Plenty of samples to try and you would be hard pressed to not find something you like!

It's ok I'll be back and will update my review with my thoughts but for now I'll focus on "The Green Spot" which was open and one of the vendors I really wanted to check out (we love plants)! We met Jen the owner who was very sweet, friendly and welcoming. She let us try the daily lemonade flavors which were all quite unique, we all got our lemonades and omg I'm in love with the guava/lemonade topped with blueberries, rosemary and a pasta straw! It was super refreshing! We just moved to the area & it was great learning about the history of the shop and other surrounding facts. We bought some herbs and we'll be back to get plants once I've got time to tend to them as moves can be very hectic and I'm still getting settled. I'm bringing all our plant loving friends to this cute lil shop with a cool vibe that very much reminded me of Key West. Try their lemonades! Jen, Thank you for a welcoming experience it was lovely to meet you :)

There's a great variety of vendors and while things can be a little pricey, that's just the nature of a farmer's market and supporting small businesses. I would come here every week if I could and it's always the highlight of my Saturdays! I will say parking can be tough so I like to come early, but usually if you drive around enough you can eventually get a spot. The vendors are always super friendly and lots of them will give out samples as well. I definitely recommend coming here to start out your weekend with something pleasant.

They have quite a bit of local produce but things not produced in the region or out of season are shipped in from elsewhere, just like any other grocery. The citrus, peppers, squash, and potatoes selection was especially good (in early Decemeber) and they have local cane syrup (from two different producers!), honey, and jams, jellies, and more. Of course, also fresh eggs and Nettles' sausage, as well. Supposedly when it's watermelon season this is THE place to come for your watermelon!
