Welcome to the Alachua County Farmers' Market.
Here you will find information on buying produce, plants, and other agricultural products directly from the grower. A broad selection of seasonal items is always available. Get ready to enjoy meeting the people who grow your food. Ask questions about the varieties offered. Get tips on how to prepare your purchases. Learn the best ways to keep the plants you buy thriving. The growers are experts and are always happy to give you the information you need to appreciate your purchases. The Alachua County Farmers' Market (ACFM), is open every Saturday, year-round, from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm or until all products are sold, whichever comes first. The market is located at 5920 NW 13th Street in Gainesville, Florida at the corner of State Road 121 (NW 13th St), and U.S. 441 in an open air metal pavilion. The Alachua County Farmers' Market (ACFM), was founded to give growers a place to sell home grown produce directly to the public so they can generate sustainable income from farming. By doing so, it has enabled many farmers to keep on farming instead of having to take other jobs or to sell their land for development. Because of this mission, the ACFM is a grower's only market. What this means is that the people selling produce, plants, and other products at the ACFM must have grown the items themselves. They are NOT allowed to purchase produce from other farms or wholesalers and resell it. That is why there are certain crops, like asparagus, that are not available. They simply don't grow well in Florida. When you go to the market, you are meeting real farmers. While they may have some non-farming helpers behind their booths, there will be at least one person who can tell you how the crops were grown, whether or not they are organic, and what variety they are. Plant sellers can tell you whether a particular shrub needs shade or sun and how often it should be watered. By shopping at the ACFM, you are supporting Florida farmers at the same time as getting wonderful fresh produce and beautiful plants at a great price. We thank you for helping Florida agriculture thrive. Last Activity More than one year ago
