In the late 90's an increase in Downtown construction made access to the
Orlando Farmer's Market difficult for visitors so the DDB relocated it to a
more centralized and less busy part of the Downtown area known as
Heritage Square at Central and Magnolia. The Farmer's Market
remained there until 2004 when the revitalization of the Downtown area
boomed and the Farmer's Market would have to move one final time to it's
current home at Lake Eola.
A beautiful backdrop of Lake Eola, a centralized location of Downtown
Orlando, a host of high-rise condominiums and downtown residents have
made the Orlando Farmer's Market's newest location at East Central Blvd
and North Eola Drive a great success!
As the Orlando Farmer's Market enters its twenty-first year, it is growing
leaps and bounds as it continues adding many new vendors, a brand new
wine and beer garden, live entertainment, an outdoor restaurant, and
themed Sundays to promote pet-friendly, family-friendly, food and wine as
well as arts in the park programs.
The Orlando Farmer's Market is the hottest place to be Downtown every
Sunday from 10am to 4pm!
In 1987 the Downtown Development
Board started the Orlando Farmer's
Market to help provide a shopping
opportunity for residents who lived in
the downtown area.
The Orlando Farmer's Market's first
home was located in a high-traffic
area under I-4 across from the
infamous Church Street Station where
it drew a large attraction from tourists
and locals alike. Even the chefs from
the local downtown restaurants would
come in their full uniforms and chef
hats to buy fresh vegetables from local
farmers for their signature menus.
