The 2011-12 Farmers' Market Season

As the 2011-2012 season gets underway in Tampa Bay, Cafe Getaway has again decided to make the Dunedin Green Market on Saturdays and the new Tarpon Sunday Market on Sundays the mainstay of our weekend schedules.

The well-established Dunedin Green Market takes place downtown in dog-loving and (fortunately for us) coffee-loving Dunedin, FL, just a few miles north of Clearwater. The market is located in Pioneer Park, which is just east of the Pinellas Bike Trail on Main Street. This shady quadrangle is a perfect place for a market, and the assortment of vendors is as mouth-watering as ever. Keep track of the market schedule at the Dunedin Green Market Face Book Page.

The Tarpon Sunday Market, under new management, is back in business in front of the striking Mother Meres Mural at the junction of Tarpon Avenue and Pinellas Avenue (Alt. 19), after operating its first few weeks in the lot behind the Historic Train depot. Although it was nice to be alongside the busy Pinellas Bike Trail, most participants felt the location was too out of the way, and the City of Tarpon Springs has moved us back to the Meres location. You can keep track of the Tarpon Market's schedule and information on the Sunday Morning Market of Tarpon Springs Facebook Page.
