One of the underrated perks of living in South Florida is year-round access to fresh, local produce — and a weekend farmers market scene that rivals just about anywhere in the country. From waterfront markets along the Intracoastal to neighborhood green markets tucked into historic downtowns, farmers markets in South Florida are as much a lifestyle staple as they are a place to shop.
Whether you're a full-time resident, a snowbird settling in for the season, or a visitor staying at a South Florida rental property, this guide covers the best farmers markets across Palm Beach and Broward counties, along with their typical hours and seasons so you can plan your weekend around them.
A Few Things to Know Before You Go
Most South Florida farmers markets follow a seasonal schedule, typically running from October through April or May. This lines up with the region's cooler, drier months and its heaviest snowbird and tourist season — so if you're visiting or moving here in the summer, some markets on this list will be on their off-season break. Hours and exact dates shift slightly year to year, so it's always worth double-checking a market's website or social media the week before you go.
Palm Beach County Farmers Markets
West Palm Beach GreenMarket
Often considered the crown jewel of the county's market scene, the West Palm Beach GreenMarket sets up right on the Great Lawn along the Intracoastal Waterway.
- Location: 100 N. Clematis Street, West Palm Beach
- When: Saturdays, roughly 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., typically October through April
- Why go: Waterfront setting, a huge mix of produce and prepared food vendors, and easy walkability to downtown West Palm Beach afterward
If West Palm Beach's downtown lifestyle appeals to you beyond just the market, our post on top reasons to move to West Palm Beach covers what else makes the city one of the most popular in the county.
Delray Beach GreenMarket
A longtime Saturday tradition just steps from Atlantic Avenue.
- Location: Old School Square, 51 N. Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach
- When: Saturdays, roughly 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., typically October through May
- Why go: Easy to pair with brunch or shopping on Atlantic Avenue afterward; consistently one of the larger vendor lineups in the county
Lake Worth Beach Waterside Farmers Market
A smaller, laid-back market with a distinct local feel.
- Location: Old Bridge Park, at Lake Avenue and A1A, Lake Worth Beach
- When: Saturdays, roughly 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., typically October through April
- Why go: Walkable to Lake Worth Beach's downtown and the beach itself, making it easy to turn into a full morning outing
If you're staying in a vacation rental in the area, this market pairs well with a weekend visit — our post on Airbnb property management in Lake Worth Beach is a good resource if you're considering the neighborhood as a rental investment yourself.
The Gardens GreenMarket (Palm Beach Gardens)
One of the few markets in the county that runs year-round rather than seasonally.
- Location: City Hall, 10500 N. Military Trail, Palm Beach Gardens
- When: Sundays, roughly 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., year-round

Royal Palm Beach Green Market and Bazaar
A community-oriented market with a strong mix of produce, artisan goods, and food trucks.

- When: Saturdays, roughly 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., typically mid-October through April or May
- Why go: A relaxed, less crowded alternative to the bigger downtown markets
Boca Raton — Two Options
Boca Raton offers a choice depending on your day:

- Mizner Park Farmers & Artisans Market — Sundays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Mizner Park (327 Plaza Real)
Between the two, you can hit a Boca Raton market almost any weekend day during the season.
Wellington's Seasonal Evening Market
If mornings aren't your thing, Wellington offers a rare evening option.
- Location: Village Park, Wellington
- When: Fridays, roughly 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., typically September through February

Broward County Farmers Markets Worth the Drive
If you're willing to cross into Broward, a couple of markets are worth adding to your rotation:
- Yellow Green Market (Hollywood) — one of South Florida's largest markets, open Saturdays and Sundays, roughly 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., year-round, with an eclectic mix of produce, international food vendors, and artisan goods (note: there's typically a small parking fee)
- Plantation Farmers Market — Saturdays, roughly 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Volunteer Park, a solid neighborhood option for fresh produce without the crowds of the bigger markets
