Where to Find Local Farmers Markets in Pensacola

Malina Debrie
Homegrown is not elusive in the Pensacola area, it can be found. If you are not a resident or if you are a resident and don't know where to look, this guide will provide those streets and locations where farmers set up their ware daily. Some may be lucky enough to just happen upon a farmers truck. Others can get their produce by traveling to these little out of the way, loosely traveled areas. Farmers man their stations, display their produce and await your visit.

Where to Find Local Farmers Markets in Pensacola: Baileys Farmers Market

Look for the Jolly Green Giant. Local farmers who do not have the time to establish locations and set up their displays daily keep Baileys Farmers Markets filled to capacity with fruits, vegetables, homemade molasses and all kinds of unique items grown from the surrounding area on the outskirts of Pensacola. You can find everything from oranges to apples, peanuts, corn, collard green and numerous other items daily at the Baily Farmers Market. Baileys has two locations open to Pensacola residents.

Now for those who might find the drive a little too long, take a ride down Highway 98 in Pensacola. Along the way, you can find a few farmers with their individual wares such as strawberries, tomatoes and even collards or turnips at times. On the northern end of town, drive down North W Street. Along that route, individual farmers have their truck ladled with veggies and fruits. Towards Perdido Key, off Sorrento Road, a regular site is a truck set up right past the Winn Dixie Supermarket. Grapefruit, watermelons, tomatoes and numerous other veggies and fruit is displayed for you to purchase. They have a variety based on whatever is in season at the time.

    Though I will likely never get around to seeing these markets, one never knows when locals are reading and viewing. Great work here.

    Good to know.

    I don't live in Pensacola, or even in Florida, but I love farmers' markets. I grew up in the Yakima Valley in Washington State, and anyone looking for fresh produce could just drive outside the city and into farm country and find all kinds of roadside fruit stands. It was great.

    Although I don't visit farmer's markets, I've just begun gardening for my own veggies. Next year I hope to have a BIG garden! However, I water. I don't know why some refuse to do that, but I WATER.
