The best farmers’ markets in Miami for produce, plants and handmade goods

When to go: Saturdays 10am–7pm, year-round

The Coconut Grove Farmers Market is probably Miami’s most well-known. Every Saturday, Homestead's Glaser Organic Farms transforms an unoccupied corner of Coconut Grove into a full-fledged produce market with dozens of fruit and vegetable stands, a raw bar featuring prepared foods and salads and coolers filled with cold-pressed juices and nut mylks. There’s even velvety vegan ice cream for sale and several rows of picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy your bounty.

Along its periphery, you’ll find other local vendors selling honey, homemade soaps, handmade jewelry and other artisanal items. And the setup and breakdown are so fascinating to watch! Much like the circus leaving town, everyone quickly dismantles their tents and packs up just after sunset, leaving no trace of the bustling day on the empty gravel lot. 3300 Grand Ave, on the corner of Margaret St and Grand Ave

When to go: Saturdays 9am–2pm, year-round

Legion Park is the place to be on a beautiful Saturday morning, as tents pop up from Biscayne Boulevard all the way to Biscayne Bay. Run by Urban Oasis Project, which oversees some of Miami’s most important farmers markets, you’ll find produce from local favorites like Little River Cooperative and French Farms, artisan-made goods like fresh breads, hummus and empanadas (the Chilean ones are excellent), and even dog treats. (Don’t worry, Fido always gets a free sample.)

In the morning, a hundred or so yogis gather under the Spanish-oak draped banyan trees for a donation-based yoga class, and then stock up on goods from some of the new age vendors onsite. 6601 Biscayne Blvd

When to go: Sundays 9am–6pm, year-round

Before big-name stores and theaters commanded Lincoln Road, the pedestrian mall was well known for its weekend farmers market. Over the years, this small operation has grown from a few tables on the eastern end of the strip to a large fair that stretches nearly the entire length of the road.

Find produce, housewares, fresh-cut flowers and specialty items like artisanal bread and homemade jams available all throughout. Though open year-round, the farmers’ market is at its most magical when it coincides with the Lincoln Road Antiques & Collectibles Market, which happens every other Sunday between October and May. Lincoln Rd, between Washington and Meridian Aves, Miami Beach

When to go: Sundays 9am–2pm, year-round

This long-running, weekly farmers’ market is well stocked and well attended, featuring a bounty of produce from nearby farms in the Redlands and Homestead and a free yoga class at 8:30am. Vendors set up in the beautiful tree-lined parking lot of Pinecrest Gardens, which makes a weekly shopping trip pretty idyllic.

Don’t miss the selection of local honey, tropical blooms and other specialty items, including cheese from independent dairy farmers and homemade guacamole. While the market takes place year-round, some growers opt to only participate during the fall and winter seasons, so consider this the best time to go. 11000 South Red Rd, Pinecrest

When to go: Saturdays and Sundays during mall hours

This sprawling shopping complex really has it all, including an air-conditioned weekend farmers market throughout the upper and lower levels of the mall.  While there's limited produce, you’ll find a wide selection of specialty foods and desserts from around the world, handcrafted wearables and home goods, unique blooms and house plants, and even activities for kids including a little princess spa.  There are usually about 75 vendors present and the best part is you’ll be shopping them all within an air-conditioned, weather-proof space. 19501 Biscayne Blvd, Aventura

When to go: Sundays 9:30am–3:30pm, October through May

The adorable beachfront town hosts a weekly market every Sunday along 95th Street between Collins and Harding Avenues, just steps from the sand and a public parking lot. It’s compact but well-endowed with local vendors selling ready-made eats like acai bowls and Peruvian dishes, as well as home decor, apparel and handmade jewelry. Kick your day off with beach yoga and then settle into a lovely afternoon listening to live music while you enjoy your bounty at one of the cute cafe tables scattered around. 96th Street and the Beach, Surfside

When to go: Sundays 11am–5pm, year-round

Outdoor markets are aplenty but none take place on the grounds of Miami’s most prestigious mansion. On Sundays, the Village at Vizcaya (a quaint complex across the street from the main house) invites folks to shop for gourmet eats, handcrafted goods and fruits and vegetables from local vendors. While a visit to the museum is not included, guests of the market have access to explore the village all afternoon long. For $5, you can join the free yoga class that takes place on the first three Sundays of the month at 10am or take a guided 30-minute historical tour of the village at 11am. 3250 S Miami Ave

When to go: Sundays 11am–6pm, year-round

Coral Gables’ posh outdoor mall is the last place you’d expect to find a farmers’ market but on Sundays, that’s exactly what you’ll see throughout the first floor of the Shops at Merrick Park. Vendors peddling everything from artisanal breads to fresh hummus, and bouquets of flowers to handmade home goods can be found on the ground floor near Nordstrom. Talk about one-stop shopping! 358 San Lorenzo Ave, Coral Gables

When to go: Sundays 8am–2pm, January through March

This seasonal market is as much a destination for families as it is for shoppers. Sure, there is a wide variety of fruits and vegetables for sale, but market organizers also focus on providing a range of kid-friendly programming. Activities include chef demonstrations led by local talent, arts-and-crafts events and free gardening workshops. Bakers and homemakers selling jams and condiments are also market staples. 405 Biltmore Way, Coral Gables

When to go: Saturdays and Sundays 10am–6:30pm, year-round

If you’re looking for more of a public market feel vs. tents under the sun, then head on over to Yellow in Hollywood. This massive metal-covered market has booths filled to the brim with vendors touting food, drinks, wearables and home goods, and every weekend brings a slue of activity and entertainment, from comedy to fitness classes.

Try authentic birria tacos or Venezuelan hallacas, stock up on jars of truffle, cans of lion’s mane mushrooms or bottles of kombucha, and treat yourself to a number of gifts, from books to unique kids' toys. It’s so big, you could spend every weekend for a month here and still not try everything onsite. 3080 Sheridan Street, Hollywood

When to go: Fridays 5–9pm and Sundays 3–9pm, year-round

Little Bahamas Foodie and Farmers Market is the newest bazaar on the block, with the unique distinction of being the only pop-up farmers' market open on a Friday, and at night.
