WELCOME
Long before chain grocery stores and bulk food emporiums, community members gathered once or twice a week in local and regional markets. Often held in town centers, these markets provided a place to buy or barter for goods and services. And yet, these gatherings also offered something far more vital: They gave community members a chance to reconnect with friends and the opportunity to catch up on the town’s news—or to hear the news and stories from merchants who had traveled great distances. Markets brought together locals and visitors alike in a convivial environment of wafting pastry aromas and carts colored by the array of fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
Today, this tradition survives in the farmer’s market. Thriving throughout the country, farmer’s markets bring quality produce fresh from the fields into the hearts and hearths of the city; they provide a profitable forum for local farmers and artisans to sell the fruits of their labors; and, perhaps most importantly, these markets create a social opportunity for each and every one of us to come together—every week—and share a little of ourselves with our neighbors.
We at the North Naples Green Market warmly invite you to take part in the beginning of a new market tradition right here in Naples! Join us every Saturday morning from October through April at the Collection At Vanderbilt for the outdoors farmer market. The summer indoor A/C farmers market is from June 5th through September 25th at The Collection at Vanderbilt located in space #126.
Taste the goodies, smell the flowers, and hear the latest. Celebrate in an atmosphere alive with color, listen to the lively chatter, and watch the friendly faces pass by. And as the week begins—and the joys of market day seem far away—know that you are feeding your family with the very best produce Southwest Florida has to offer.
