We will be spotlighting another 3 Englewood Farmers Market vendors this week. You will see them on our EFM Facebook page. There are more snow birds coming down so we are expecting a very busy market tomorrow. The weather will be perfect and as always we recommend coming early as parking is always a challenge.

We recommend all vendors to come at their allotted times to minimize congestion in the Plaza so we can get everyone close to their assigned areas to make it easy to unload and set up.

The Rotarians that run the market are wearing their new green long sleeve shirts. The orange shirts are only used on certain occasions. They are located at the EFM Tent and are there to assist you in any way they can. Have a great day and see you at the market.

Beginning with the October 26th Farmers Market, we will highlight two vendors each week. This will include some basic information about the vendor as well as two to three photos of each booth and vendor. We have already collected information from one half of the market vendors and will get to the balance of the vendors this Thursday at the market. 

If you have something special you want to promote for your vendor spotlight please let us know. 

Englewood Sunset Rotary.

The Englewood Farmers Market has started for the 2023-2024 season. The Market is located at Pioneer Plaza on Dearborn Street in Englewood, Fl. The Market runs from October 2023 to May 2024 and operates from 9 AM to 1 PM every Thursday. 

There are some new vendors this year, with more food options available. The Market has become one of the more popular places in both Sarasota and Charlotte counties. With an average attendance of over 6,000 people each Thursday, parking is at a premium and we strongly recommend coming early to find suitable parking.

In addition to the new vendors, there are a number of restaurants and shops on Dearborn street that offer a wide variety of foods and items for purchase. Plan on coming early and staying for the day. 

See you on Thursday.

The Englewood Sunset Rotary operates the Englewood Farmers Market. All of the money raised through vendor fees goes back to the community through a large number of non-profit organizations. The need for the community continues to grow including funding for the FFA program at Lemon Bay High School. 

As a result an increase of $5.00 per week per 10 foot vendor spot will be required starting on October 5th, 2023. This will be the first market of the year at Pioneer Plaza. We are expecting an increase in visitors to the market this year as we have seen an increase in the number of new homeowners in Sarasota and Charlotte counties. 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact our Market Managers at: 941-270-6407. We look forward to seeing all our vendors back in October.
