Beneath the prominent oak trees – and just a few blocks from the state Capitol - I tripped upon the Downtown Market Tallahassee on my return home to the Vero Beach. I’m in favor of supporting local business, so I stopped.
Homegrown produce and eggs, fresh cut flowers and native plants (native to Tallahassee that is), plenty of homemade food and baked goods, along with locally roasted coffee and hand-crafted items were available among the various vendors. Free parking is a plus. Open from 8 am until 2 pm, I arrived at the market just after 12 noon.
In speaking with several of the vendors, I was told that the market is on the rebound with more and more vendors returning each week. As someone into coffee, I stopped in and purchased several bags of roasted coffee from the husband/wife couple at Midtown Coffee Roasters. Hungry, I made a purchase of Indian food from that vendor. Purchasing early Christmas gifts for my kid’s teachers, I visited Ken over at The Clogging Potter. Cookies and brownies from the father/daughter team rounded out my visit.
Interesting little market. I will visit again and hope that more vendors will return as the leaves start to brown and Fall sets upon us.
