Delray Beach Green Market: Fresh and Local at its Best

Every Saturday morning, dozens of vendors gather at Old School Square Park, pitch their tents and offer locals a taste of South Florida. Delray Beach Green Market is a weekly farmers market where shoppers can find locally-grown produce, farm-fresh eggs, raw milk, seafood, meats as well as artisanal baked goods, olive oils, salsas and more. Once you're done with your shopping, you can also stick around and enjoy the free, live music while your children have fun at the playground. Regulars do note that early in the market's season the number of vendors is limited but as the season continues more tents pop up, so if you don't find everything you need in October, be sure to return later in the season.

The Delray Beach Green Market's season lasts from mid-October to mid-May, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Make sure to check their Facebook page for exact dates.

The Boys Farmers Market: Everything You Need to Make the Perfect Meal

The Boys Farmers Market is many shops in one. If you're feeling carnivorous, you can pick up a steak from the butcher shop or try the famous "Poppy's homemade sausage." If you would like to indulge in some cheese and wine, you can head over to the cheese shop where you will have your pick of domestic and imported cheeses. Then stop over in the wine department to pick from a vast selection of reds and whites. Don't forget about dessert! The bakery sells freshly made cakes and cookies. The Boys Farmers Market also offers some of the best produce in Delray Beach. Customers love how fresh and reasonable the fruits and vegetables are. The market is small so it can get cramped. Many recommend early afternoon weekday shopping to avoid the crowds both in the store and in the parking lot.

The Boys Farmers Market is open Mondays through Saturdays from 8:30 in the morning to 5:30 p.m. and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
