The Hernando County Farmers Market on the corner of Mariner Blvd and Hwy 50 is the place to be on Saturdays between 10AM and 3PM. That's where we will be on Saturdays from now on. We wish to thank our loyal Downtown Brooksville customers for their years of support. Please come visit us, and all the other wonderful vendors, at the Farmers Market located behind Walgreens. As always, our Produce Barn is open daily until 6PM.

Thanks so much for your support.

We hope to continue bringing you quality fresh produce from the closest markets possible.

A note of appreciation and heartfelt thanks for you,

our wonderful friends and customers.

we wouldn't be here.

We are in big need of the bags at this time.

Have you been enjoying those delicious peaches coming from the Carolinas?

It might be good to special order a case or two, can or freeze them, and enjoy them all year.

Peaches contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, fiber, Calcium, Iron and other minerals.

They are delicious in lunches, sliced over ice cream, diced into jello and baked in pies,

cobblers, cakes and turnovers.

On December 1, 2010, we welcomed a surprise visit from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Periodically, the FLDACS tests farms to detect trace pesticides, hazardous pesticides, and other harmful residues. We are pleased to share our official results with you. After testing our farm for 175 different pesticides, the Chemical Residue Analysis Report confirmed the following: "in compliance with Florida Statute chapter 500,  no pesticides detected." It was an interesting experience and we are grateful that FLDACS protects the Florida consumer by periodically verifying the products grown in Florida. We're happy to share the information with you, too!
