Your Fernandina Beach Market Place farmers’ market on N. 7th Street in historic, downtown Fernandina, will be open May 17, 2014, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, rain or shine!

Here is a little more information about just three of our over 30 vendors who come week after week to bring you seasonal produce, fresh baked pastries and breads, honey, beef, cheese, dairy and so much more.

Harlows All Natural Products are created by locals to Fernandina Beach, Jacob and Sarah Harlow. Their products include vegan, organic and all natural home and personal care products made with essential oils, butters, salts, sugars, waxes and other natural ingredients. This husband and wife team combine their knowledge of chemistry, massage therapy and aromatherapy to make products without harmful preservatives and additives such as deodorants, liquid and bar soaps, lip balm, body balm, bath salts, scrubs, home and personal sprays and more.

Wook’s Beef Jerky comes to Amelia Island from Lakeland, Florida. Their jerky flavors include Teriyaki, made with a naturally brewed soy sauce and a little wine, sugar and spices; Hickory, made with smoke flavor, herbs and a little lime juice; Pepper – loaded with black pepper flavor; and Spicy Cajun made with Cayenne and red peppers. These vacuum packed treats are a wonderful snack to keep handy for the kids or guests.

Shepperd’s Farm of Callahan, Florida grows peppers that Joy Shepperd uses to create amazing flavored jelly combinations such as a hot pepper and orange, sweet pepper and mango, or tangerine and jalapenos. Each week she has created a new flavor combination and she’d love for you to stop by her booth and try a sample.

The Market Place is open on Saturdays, and your well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome to come along.
