The West Palm Beach GreenMarket features more than 110 vendors selling various products, including fresh fruits and vegetables, coffees and teas, flowers and plants, homemade specialty items, desserts, treats, and so much more. Live entertainment at the GreenMarket is sponsored by Joe Dimaggio’s Children’s Health Specialty Center. This season’s theme is “Sweet Success” in honor of the Market’s back-to-back wins as the “Best Farmers Market” in the U.S., according to a USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice poll.
The West Palm Beach GreenMarket’s mission is to provide the community with seasonal access to locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, plants, and agricultural products. The market supports the southeast Florida agricultural community and stimulates agricultural development, particularly in Palm Beach County, by providing an outlet for locally grown crops and specialty products.
In addition to the USA TODAY 10Best recognition, the GreenMarket has been featured in The Boston Globe and named the No. 1 greenmarket in Florida by Cooking Light magazine. In 2021, the GreenMarket was recognized by VISIT FLORIDA with a prestigious silver Flagler Award at the tourism marketing cooperative’s annual Florida Governor’s Conference on Tourism.
