Located off Oakland Park Blvd between 95 & US1, this small family owned produce and specialty grocery store can be a treasure trove of great priced fresh produce or a hodge podge of overripe (sometimes mushy/sometimes molding) produce. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Check out their Facebook (and Instagram stories) for new deliveries as the produce is based on availability of their suppliers. They also carry a variety of dried pastas, olives, spreads, and other odds and ends (even sea moss - whatever that is). If you're in the area, it's worth a visit but probably wouldn't make a trip for it if you are further away that 15-20 minutes.

Really cheap prices on produce. Boxes of salad for $1, corn at 3x$1, etc. Please be aware that many of the items they sell are to be consumed fairly quickly since many of them are very ripe or near expiration dates...so, it's one of those places to stop by if you are planning a meal that same day. The selection of produce changes with the day, as I've passed by many times and sometimes they have melons, pineapples, eggplants, etc...some days they don't. It's a nice place to go to if you are flexible on what to buy for a vegetable medley or meal.

This is a small farmers market/produce store. It's located on the south side of Oakland Park Boulevard and west of Dixie Highway. You will notice it by the tents in front of the store where there are signs and stacks of organic veggies outside. Inside, it's a fairly basic set up -- nothing fancy -- with fruits and veggies marked with price signs in front of where they are displayed. Most of the items are very reasonably priced -- but it's good to know comparisons before you shop. We wound up getting an eggplant, a couple zucchini, and a package of vine ripened tomatoes -- all totaling under $4! It's nice to have another local alternative to the regular supermarket.

What is there not to like about saving money?!?! This was my first visit nE it will NOT be my last. Prior to going to the grocery store I will be stopping here to see what they have. The prices are insane!!! Containers of cherry tomatoes and blueberries for less than $2 Friendly and engaging staff

Beefsteak tomatoes 50cents/lb!

Great small local farmers market. Specials change daily. Many items are ripe and need to be used up quickly but blackberries, organic raspberries $1 per pack. Organic cucumbers 2/$1, etc. Fabulous beefsteak tomatoes were just 50 CENTS a pound! But prices change with each day's available produce.

Officially obsessed. If you want the freshest produce around, look no further! Since moving to the…read morearea, I've been hunting for a good farmers market where I can not only find certified organic fruits and veggies, but also locally grown, pesticide-free options. Well, look no more! This is it! Little known fact - when you buy non-organic options at whole foods, they are sprayed with pesticides. Urban Farmer sources as locally as possible to reduce their carbon footprint, and they have established relationships with the farms they source from, so they know there are no pesticides or GMOs. Run by a husband and wife team, urban farmer pops up every Friday and Saturday like the long lost Scottish town from Brigadoon. When you walk into their space on Dixie highway you're immediately greeted with some of the freshest stuff you could ask for. It only arrived a day before you did! You can select items from the farm table or purchase a one-time walk-in share. A HALF share netted me 3 cucumbers, red kale, swiss chard, lychees, grape tomatoes, 5 ears of corn, a huge vidalia onion, green beans, and a few other items for only $35. I immediately signed up for a weekly half-share. We are going to eat like healthy kings! In addition to the amazing produce, they also have a variety of gardening items to help you with your own green thumb. I'm contemplating starting an herb garden, I'm so inspired. Can't wait for next week's share!

Who knew there was a hidden community garden in Oakland Park. They are a nonprofit which truly…read moreserves the community. I have been on their mailing list for a while but finally joined them for one of their weekly gardening talks, Talk @ 10. The topic was tomatoes I learned something and it inspired me to purchase a tomato plant (wish me luck). I plan on attending future talks as my schedule permits. The presenter was knowledgeable and patient with all the questions. They have garden plots you can purchase and the is a garden shed that sells gardening items.

We were…read morewalking out of "Out of the Closet" thrift store when we noticed the tents up in the lot across the way. We stopped in to see what there was we could snap up. There wasn't actually many options. In the large tent there is the numerous tables of fruits and vegetables, many organic. There was a couple other tents with random things. One had dietary pills and another was for selling handmade crafts. It would have been a bust if not for the soup guy. He sets up in the front of the market so you cant miss him. He has prepared soups frozen in coolers that you can get for 5 dollars. We got 3 different homemade soups from him, to include a Matzo and a Chicken. We had them later, and yes they were pretty good. So with that redeeming moment I would say stop in on a weekend if you are walking by. You cant miss it, there is a posted sign right off the street for the Green market. We will pop back soon. If there is more options and tables next time, we will add more stars

Don't think the likes of LA's Framer's Market or anything like those of major or even minor cities, but more in terms of a small community green market. It's small, really small, only a couple of vendors but a decent enough choice of locally grown fresh vegetables, fruits, homemade soups, pickled and jar canned goods. Among them you'll find Ms. V who has a variety of really good pierogis, preserves, spreads, salsas and other items. You'll find her lasagna and stuffed peppers to be particularly good. Also the "Soup Queen" (remember this is Wilton Manors, if you catch my drift) with various soup offerings; among them a rather good chicken soup. As far as a star rating on this green market, I have to agree with Yelper Tim S. at two stars, but only because it is so small and so very limited in its offerings.

The front wall and roof of the store screamed Candy Candy Candy by it's vibrantly colorful lollipops, gum drops and taffy decor. This was going to be a quick stop since parking on Wilton Drive is limited and notorious for citations by the aggressive meter maid. Based on my concern, the sole employee advised that a few free parking spaces in the rear are available for a strict maximum of fifteen minutes, which is a kind offering. The inside was much larger than the front view of the building reflects. The giant yellow Haribo bear stood proudly by the front door with bags of sour gummies hanging from it's chest. For chocolate enthusiasts, there was an entire section dedicated to fresh chocolate treats. At a quick glance, it was evident that a large amount of the candies were old school big brands. Aside from candies, there were novelty gifts which include coffee mugs with celebrity, pride rainbow and 80's TV shows like Seinfeld, Peanuts or Laverne and Shirley prints. Hundreds of hanging decorative ornaments fill the ceiling but unsure if those are for sale. Very cool candy store with alot of originality and snug parking.
