I apologize I do not know the exact address of where this is located, but it is easy to find. Traveling on Cape Coral Parkway into the dowtown area, you turn Right on SE 10th....and you run straight into it.
This market runs Oct-May and is spectacular! Tons of locally grown fruits, veggies, herbs, trees, jams, honey, seafood.....
There is one stall located next to where they have the live band set up. They sell all kinds of herbs, wonderful lettuces, and a great selection of root veggies. It is my favorite! I bought lettuce from this stand that was a little wilted from the sun. I took it home and gave it a good soak in cold water and a run through the salad spinner, wrapped it in paper towel and stored in ziploc baggies and it lasted (NO LIE) 3 weeks without going bad! One head of green leaf lettuce filled 2 gallon size zipper bags FULL! The price 1.50$ a head! You can not beat it.
Other vendors have amazing deals on peppers (4 for 1$, even red ones!), tomatoes, florida sweet onions, squash. ALL SUPER CHEAP!! Plus, everything lasts so much longer than what you get in the grocery store.
There is an amazing vendor that sells Wisconsin cheese and locally made breads. The calamata olive bread and the sesame seed loaf are spectacular. No artificial ingredients and at 3$ a loaf,,,,,amazing!
They are open on Saturdays from 8-1 from October to May. This is must!! I am saving about 100$ per month by doing all of my produce shopping here instead of the grocery. Plus, most of the food is grown locally--not being shipped from another country and coated with wax to keep it fresher longer. It saves money and is better for the environment. A win win shoportunity!
I will be sooo sad over the summer months when they are gone!
