Is there anything better than walking around the farmer's market on a Sunday morning with a tote…read morefull of fresh, local produce and an (insert favorite morning drink of your choice) in your hand? Now, imagine all of that against the beautiful backdrop of Hyde Park Village. The Hyde Park Fresh Market quickly became my favorite farmer's market from its inception. It has changed and grown a lot over the years, but it still tops my list as the best in the area (although the Water Street Sunday Market is a close second). The one caveat is that you have to get there at or before it begins at 10 a.m. or else you'll have a hard time finding any parking. The garages fill up quick, and the search only gets more difficult the closer you get to noon. But if you do get there early enough, parking in the garages is free and places you right in the midst of the market, which spans the entire length of Hyde Park Village. I've always found an awesome variety of local vendors at this market, from produce to breads and treats, local butters, cheeses and pastas, and all of the beautiful home decor, jewelry, accessories, and other wares you never knew you needed. You can even get your knives sharpened by a vendor who is there every month! So, take a walk, bring your own bags (not because they don't have bags, but because it's nice to the planet), come hungry, and chat up the locals. You'll never feel more part of your community than when you're at a farmer's market.

Seminole Heights Sunday Farmers Market is cool cool. But then again, all of the Tampa Bay Markets…read moreare pretty cool and unique in their own special way. They all have a different set up, or atmosphere to me. Many of the vendors that I came across here are not at all of the markets, so it is great to come here and see different vendors than at other markets. Some of my favorite vendors are the lady that sells the home made jam. She has a strawberry mango jam, and a ginger pear jam, and a mango habanero jam just to name a few of her selections. You can sample everything, and then pick out your favorite for $8. There is also a vendor that sells bird baths that are shaped like flowers, and made of plates. There are jewelry vendors, plants and flowers like orchids, boiled peanuts that sit in beer, different types of breads, fruit and veggie vendors and food vendors. My favorite vendor is Maine-iacs, the vendor that sells the Lobster Rolls, Lobster Bisque, and Whoopie Pies. I also want to try the Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. I have tried the strawberry and regular lemonade which are really good from Simply Lemonade. Often there is music playing, and there are a lot of people just strolling around on their Sunday. It's a great place to hang out for a bit, and then maybe go to a nearby place for brunch such as Ella's American Art Café, or get some coffee, or a beer at Independent. There are lots of options around you. You do have to drive but everything is all pretty close. This is a nice family and pet friendly hang out spot on a Sunday, so definitely check it out. All of the Tampa Bay markets can be found at tampabaymarkets.com. I can easily say that I have been to all of them, and they are all just a fun, carefree vibe.

This is a great smaller local market. If you truly want to purchase items from local sellers, this…read moreis the place to go. I have come home with plants, candles, purses, jewelry, and jam, all made from craftspeople located in the Tampa Bay area. There usually seems to be about 25-30 booths of crafts and food, a produce stand, and about 10 food/drink trucks on any given 2nd Sunday of the month. There are also local interest booths - this past weekend there was a Seminole Height's booth, advertising the Seminole Height's Home Tour and selling t-shirts. If you do want to eat something you've purchased here, find the shady section of grass in front of the stage area, which usually has local musicians performing for your listening pleasure. There is a great children's section, too, with crafts, play area, and specialty booths geared towards kids. Also not to be missed is the opportunity to take a tour of historic Hillsborough High School, which is the oldest high school in Hillsborough County, dating back to 1928. They have student ambassadors giving guided tours, and it was pretty cool to see the inside of this massive structure. There is usually a sign stuck in the ground near the front entrance of the school giving more details about when the tours start. The market only operates from October through May because it is too darn hot the rest of the year. Make sure you wear your sunscreen/hat too, because there is minimal shade to be had.

They…read moremake appearances in the community (farmer's markets) and have also recently moved to mail ordering and/or delivering from their website (cleanereatin.com). I have had the privilege to order from them a few times recently. First I experienced their famous Nattiez Pattiez. These are basically like "hot pockets for adults". They are garlic butter infused dough that is stuffed with pasta, sauce, vegan cheese and lentil crumbles. These have to be shipped overnight, so I set up a delivery time instead of paying the overnight shipping cost. It was easy to arrange a time and they were delivered right on schedule by one of the owners. Taste wise.... incredible! I loved each and ever one of the ten I ate. My next order came through the mail and featured four of their cakes in a jar. I ordered a pumpkin, carrot, Oreo and Snickerdoodle. I was blown away by the carrot and pumpkin. The others were really good too but I preferred the veggie cakes. Through their website, Vegg'd Out also offers other sweets, cookies and specials based on the season. Like right now you can get a tin of holiday cookies. All their items are vegan and some, if not all, come with the option of being infused. Looking for some great vegan items made locally by Black entrepreneurs? Give Vegg'd Out a chance.

Try the Ziondilla and you will know the truth. Lucky to have found them at a vegan food truck rally and I have happily followed them ever since. The hibiscus ginger tea is tasty, truly refreshing and pure flavor. They are honest with the ingredients list and use locally sourced organic when possible. The garlic butter mac n cheese is not what you expect it to be if you can try it DO! I have had every variation of Nattiez Pattiez and loved them all. Chef can eek out so much intense flavor! Do yourself a favor and also get a cupcake while you have the chance.

My daughter ordered the pumpkin cheesecake muffin, but said it was good but that she liked the more moist one from SB better. I had the GF egg sandwich, which was pretty good. I ordered a latte, but honestly it didn't even taste like it had espresso in it, tasted like hot milk-was disappointing, but I really didn't want to go back up to the counter to complain since I was busy making my way through each aisle. Totum needs to try the amazing new Emilio's Italian Market latte and make it as amazing as what they offer! (It's the best in South Tampa/downtown area) The service was so friendly at Totum. A++ for amazing and friendly staff, really refreshing!! I hope this place does well, it had a bunch of brands that we had never seen and love trying new products! Cashed out with Jay. He asked if I had any feedback, etc. I mentioned that I was hoping they would carry Red Bird Farms chicken out of Englewood, CO. They carry Smart Chicken which looks SO much like Red Bird farms chicken, but Smart Chicken is part of Tyson (). I *truly* hope they look into carrying this WAY better brand. This is something that would draw me into your store frequently, since NO store near me in South Tampa carries this brand. I had this brand at the wonderful Flower Child restaurant, it was noticeably delicious! Jay gave me a beautiful canvas Totum bag at checkout, love it! Can't wait to come back! Parking available on street and in an area that isn't charging for parking (yet)! Love this new addition to the Encore district!

Off the bat, I want to say that Totum is a beautiful store. The area it's in is just OK in my…read moreopinion, but as long as parking remains easy and convenient, that shouldn't be much of an issue. I visited during the soft opening, and everything was beautifully displayed and nicely stocked. However, I was hoping to see a much larger selection of organic products. I was very happy to see raw milk available ~ that was definitely appreciated! My biggest concern is the pricing. A loaf of bread from Sourdoughist was $15.89!!! I'm sorry, but that is absurd. I currently use a delivery service for sourdough breads, croissants, cookies, and other baked goods that averages around $12 per item, delivered directly to my home once a month in a large insulated box. I simply finish the items in the oven, and they taste fresh and delicious. I was also surprised to see organic heirloom tomatoes priced at $8.49. I regularly buy organic heirloom tomatoes at Whole Foods for around $3.99 on sale or $4.99 at regular price. That is a significant difference for what appears to be a very similar product. From what I saw, I would say at least 90% of the items could also be purchased at Whole Foods, The Fresh Market, or Sprouts for less. With grocery prices already as high as they are, I personally can't justify spending 20-30% more for many of the exact same products. Also, they are advertising as a health store, yet they sell CHEEZ-IT, Goldfish, Carr's crackers and GLUTINO (Oreos)... That being said, the store itself is beautiful and the service was great. I really wanted to love it, and I'll probably stop in occasionally, especially for specialty items. But unless the pricing becomes more competitive, I don't see myself doing my regular grocery shopping here.

Every Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM, this community market hosts between 20 - 60 vendors. (However, I've never seen more than 20 during my four visits.) Today there were exactly 20. What's especially nice about this open market is the quality of its vendors. I've yet to meet one who was not very friendly. Don't expect to see lots of masks being wore in this open air market. It's Pasco County & many I've seen at this market are maskless. If you are super worried about Covid, you may want to skip this market. Vegan, organic, keto, & Gluten-free items are available every Saturday. Jewelry, art, facemasks, produce, meat, cheese, crafts, honey, cooked foods, & many other wares can be found here. Each vendor I've met accepts cash, credit, & debit cards. And many will happily accept special orders on foods, jewelry, fabric items, woods, etc. I have some favorite vendors here, & I've noticed that it's often possible to negotiate a better price. Can't hurt to ask! BL's WOODSHED offers quality & lower-priced hardwood cutting boards (see pic), cheeseboards (see pic), & Lazy Susans. At this time, Bob's selling his beautiful fused glass Christmas dishes! Artistic & friendly Kartika of **ArtsTICQally Made** showcases her handmade cloth baby needs, face paintings, greeting cards, sketches, & caricatures. (See the pic of my friend-- just $14!) She works her magic quickly:) Nicole & Ryan Dube of DUBE'S MOBILE MARKET bring their organic, local produce, eggs, honey, dressings, & meats every Saturday-- see pics. (You can even order full animals: beef, duck, rabbit, lamb, goat, hog, gator, & quail.) They take orders & even offer local delivery for just $5. (Within a few weeks, they will relocate to the Evolove Event Center in Lutz, but hope to continue @ this Saturday market.) And Sheri of SHERI'S BEADS AND BAUBLES offers "handcrafted necklaces, bracelets, earrings, & other semi precious beaded items." Her creations are of excellent quality, her prices are fair, & she will gladly take orders-- See pic. (I'm placing a special order tonight.) This is obviously not a large market, but I've been very satisfied w/ the friendly & talented vendors here on Saturday. Prices are generally BETTER than @ all the markets I've frequented in Florida. The only reason it's not a 5-star market (for me) is because the weekly vendor count is limited.
