What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Eustis Farmers Market is praised for its consistent quality produce, especially from vendors like Carmen's, and the potential for unique finds among its diverse stalls. However, recent management changes have led to fewer vendors, making the market feel 'thin' at times, particularly outside of the cooler months. Visitors recommend focusing on the produce and supporting the present vendors.
"Thursday flea and farmers markets are really thin. Maybe 10 booths inside and 10 outside with the vegetable vendors. When it’s crowded, it’s really good, but lately it has been really bad. I asked a few vendors and they told me that new management took over and no longer allows the vendors to keep their products on site overnight so over half of them have pulled out and the little building just outside of the pavilion is now closed with no vendors inside… same with the building opposite the field where the restrooms are. All lights are off and gates are up. Many vendors have decided against coming back. I worry about the future markets but will continue to go and support vendors who do come. As of right now, you can spend about 25 to 35 minutes here and you’re sort of finished and looking for other plans."

"Not a lot of vendors for this time of year but one thing you can always count on is great produce. Iam partial to Carmen's produce I think it's always the best. Value and quality hands down."
Leatha Hensley
"This farmer’s market was a treat during the winter especially while visiting! It felt like July’s summer vegetable bounty in the northeast. Friendly vendors, affordable prices and great selection! Definitely worth a visit!"
