The holidays are over and your favorite vendor booths are back at the Fernandina Beach Market Place farmers market on North Seventh Street on Amelia Island, January 9, 2016, from 9:00 to 1:00 p.m.

Two of our newly returning vendors include Jaxma Orchids and Simply Savory Dips. Jaxma will have a beautiful supply or exotic, as well as easy to care for, orchids. Simply Savory offer ready to mix dips and you can sample them all at the farmers market and select your favorites to take home.

This will be a full market with nearly 35 booths including succulents by Seven Trees Nursery, goat soaps by Hope Floats, Taylor’s Dog Treats, Russian breads, croissants and tarts by Bakery Ribault, olive salad by Jay’s Marketplace, Sonya’s Blue Planet organic products, Chesser Seafood’s wild caught shrimp, JD Beef, Cross Creek honey and more!

Was fiscal responsibility included in your New Year’s Resolutions? Marie Cumberland of Wells Fargo Bank will be on-site with budgeting tool-kits. She will also help you navigate your way through your individual financial concerns including credit questions, re-establishing credit, individual retirement accounts, health savings accounts, and how to prepare for those college expenses.

We hope you will help us welcome the talented Nora Ricci to her first performance at the Market Place as this week’s featured, local musician. In fact, you are invited to join us this, and every Saturday, at the friendliest farmers market in Florida. Open rain or shine, your well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome, too.
