Eat Fresh and Shop Local in Palm Beach County

By Carmen and Tripp Eldridge

Did you know that locally sourced produce not only tastes delicious, but is better for you and the environment? When you buy fruits and vegetables that are grown close to home, they have a much shorter trip from the farm to your plate – giving you fresher, tastier, more nutritious food that leaves a smaller carbon footprint on the planet. With benefits like that, it only makes sense to shop local!

Thankfully, Palm Beach County offers plenty of options to get locally sourced produce, so you’re sure to find a favorite to visit regularly this year. To help you eat healthier and more sustainably in 2022, here are five local farmers markets that make farm-to-table living easier than ever!

Caribbean Plants and Produce

Caribbean Plants and Produce might look more like a plant nursery but looks can be deceiving. This produce stand often has hard-to-find produce like jackfruit, sugar apples, longan fruit, and annonas. Plus, while you’re here, you might find a new air-purifying houseplant to take home, or an exotic fruit tree.

Caribbean Plants and Produce is open year-round. Visit them at 13527 Okeechobee Blvd., Loxahatchee, FL 33470.

Stock up on fresh produce, live plants, baked goods, honey, and unique merchandise at this popular market. With a beautiful lakeside atmosphere and plenty of free parking, this is the perfect place for your seasonal shopping!

Open Saturdays from October through April, you can visit Royal Palm Beach Green Market and Bazaar at 1050 Royal Palm Beach Blvd., Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411.

Serving Palm Beach County for over 30 years, this quaint plant purser and market has a lot to offer. Besides fresh produce and flowers, Rorabeck’s has a huge selection of plants and pottery for some backyard inspiration. The market also hosts a smoothie and lunch café for a quick lunch on the market. If you’re looking for a gift, one of their special-order fruit baskets is always a good idea.

Rorabeck’s is open year-round, and you can visit this Palm Beach County staple at 55539 S. Military Trail, Lake Worth, FL 33463.

Locally grown produce, fresh flowers, artisan baked goods, fresh eggs – you’ll find it all at this lively market that’s located right on the water. You can even bring your leashed up pup with you to peruse the stalls and enjoy the live music. The market is committed to supporting over 80 local vendors every week, rain or shine.

The Lake Worth Farmers Market is open every Saturday from mid-October through April. Stop by and check it out at 1 S. Ocean Blvd, Lake Worth, FL 33460.

If you’re looking for a family-owned and operated farmer’s market, look no further than Bedner’s! Tasked with bringing a variety of affordable, locally grown produce, the Bender family is making farm-to-table living more accessible in South Florida. Check out their seasonal selections and activities year-round.

You can visit Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market at 10066 Lee Road, Boynton Beach, FL 33473.

We hope that this roundup will help you eat fresh and shop local this year. For more reasons why you should embrace the farm-to-table lifestyle, read our December Around Wellington article here.

Sean Kenney’s Nature POP! at Mounts Botanical Garden

Sean Kenney’s Nature POP! Made with LEGO® Bricks

Making its Florida Premiere at Mounts Botanical Garden

This beautiful, inspirational exploration of art and nature is set to open January 8, 2022

(West Palm Beach, FL  – December 29, 2021) Sean Kenney’s Nature POP! Made with LEGO Bricks is set to make its Florida premiere at Mounts Botanical Garden, opening on Saturday, January 8 and running through Sunday, May 1. This new exhibition from acclaimed artist Sean Kenney features over 40 sculptures made from more than 800,000 LEGO pieces and explores the beauty of nature through highly stylized, colorful displays that stand in striking contrast with their surroundings.

Produced by Imagine Exhibitions, Nature POP! blends art, science, and innovation in the display of the New York-based artist’s newest, never-before-seen sculptures. Known for his ability to make striking works of art using simple LEGO toys, Kenney pushes the boundaries of the medium in this new exhibition through his use of vibrant colors and a bold, graphical style. Inspired by the Pop art movement, Kenney’s work on Nature POP! plays on that movement’s principles by blurring the boundaries between austere and the everyday, and draws from a belief that everything is interconnected.

Nature POP! invites guests to consider how just as LEGO bricks are interconnected, so is everything in nature. The intricate displays explore the relationships that exist in nature, whether that be the delicate balance between predators and prey, the commonalities between species as they care for their young, or the impact that humankind has on the natural world. Supporting content enhances the experience with scientific facts about the creatures presented in the displays.

Most importantly, the exhibition allows visitors to appreciate both nature and the sculptures as something beautiful, and to inspire them to go home and create something wonderful themselves. Presenting a playful spin on traditional sculptural art, Nature POP! is an accessible experience for all ages.

Tom Zaller, CEO of Imagine Exhibitions shared, “Imagine Exhibitions is proud to partner with Sean Kenney to bring the creative vision of Nature POP! to Mounts Botanical Garden.  Sean’s work is not only awe-inspiring in its artistic qualities, but it’s also an incredible demonstration of the ways that human innovation and engineering can be used to solve problems and build something amazing.”

“We are very excited to welcome Sean Kenney back to the Garden to debut his new exhibition in Florida,” said Rochelle Wolberg, Curator-Director for Mounts Botanical Garden. “Nature POP! is the perfect way to launch the new year and is guaranteed to thrill visitors of all ages.  It highlights our Season of Awe and Wonder.”

“We are so delighted to sponsor this exciting exhibit,” said Jan Cairnes, CEO for Hanley Foundation. “Hanley Foundation is the nonprofit statewide leader in adolescent substance use prevention and education, and we know how important family time is in preventing substance use disorder. We hope families will come together to enjoy this incredible opportunity to connect with nature and connect as a family. Family time is time well spent.”

Admire the colorful creations on display at Sean Kenney’s Nature POP! Made with LEGO Bricks, open Tuesday through Sunday, 9 am to 4 pm (last entry at 3 pm) for a limited engagement through May 1, 2022. Tickets are available for purchase at the gate or online at mounts.org.

Lead sponsor for Nature POP! Is the Hanley Foundation. Select sculptures and murals are sponsored by Renée Rotta, Lewis Pollack and Iggy, and by an anonymous donor.

Temple Beth Torah Brotherhood News

The Temple Beth Torah Brotherhood announced that it has selected the Village of Wellington Holiday Food Drive, the Palm Beach County Homeless Coalition, and the Wellington Community High School Student Government Association’s annual Rosenwald Toy Drive, for its annual charitable donations. The money was primarily raised from past brotherhood golf benefits.


For more than a decade, the Temple Beth Torah Brotherhood has consistently supported local charitable and governmental agencies, including funding scholarship and educational programs at Wellington’s Temple Beth Torah through its fundraising endeavors.


“Our synagogue community takes great pride in all of the Brotherhood’s efforts to help make our world a better place,” said Temple Beth Torah Rabbi Andrew L. Rosenkranz. “They understand the commandment in Judaism to treat everyone with kindness and compassion.” 

Stephen Levin, Brotherhood President Joel Zaidspiner, Homeless Coalition Chief Executive Officer Pamela Payne, and Keith Epstein.


On Sunday, May 1, the Brotherhood will hold its annual golf benefit at The Wanderers Club in Wellington. Each year, the golf event attracts more than 120 golfers and corporate sponsors. More information, along with the opportunity to register for the event, will be posted soon on the Brotherhood website, http://www.tbtbrotherhood.com/.

The Temple Beth Torah Brotherhood is a service arm of the congregation, and membership is open to every male member of the temple. The organization raises money through a number of projects, including the aforementioned annual golf tournament, and returns a portion of their annual fundraising back to the community.

Palm Beach, FL (December 16, 2021) – The YMCA of the Palm Beaches hosted its 13th Annual Prayer Breakfast on Friday, December 10 at The Breakers Palm Beach with a crowd of nearly 350  enthusiastic supporters.  

This year’s featured speaker was Heisman Trophy winner and University of Florida star quarterback, Danny Wuerffel, who spoke passionately about service to others. As Executive Director of Desire Street Ministries in Atlanta, and the namesake of The Wuerffel Trophy, which honors an NCAA football player annually for exceptional service to community off the field, Wuerffel presented a powerful and inspirational message to the rapt crowd.

The morning began with a welcome by Town of Palm Beach Mayor Danielle Moore, who led attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance with help from a dozen YMCA preschoolers.

Cathy, Chairman of Chick-fil-A, who emphasized the morning’s theme of the importance of service to others. The event was wrapped-up by Dale Hedrick, of Hedrick Brothers Construction, a long-time supporter of the YMCA of the Palm Beaches.

All funds raised at the Prayer Breakfast go to provide financial assistance to deserving low income families in Palm Beach County who participate in a variety of services and programs that the YMCA offers, such as preschool, after-school care, youth sports, summer day camp and lifesaving swim lessons.

Honorary Chairpersons were Donald and Irene Dizney, and event planning committee members included Kathy Leone, Cathy Hedrick, Scott McCranels, Kristy Pressly, and Meredith Plummer.

Dare to Be Stronger

By Carly Cantor

Being able to cope with life’s most prominently difficult challenges is extremely strenuous and having no outlet for your feelings can make one feel alone and lost in their problems. As teenagers, we often feel as if we cannot talk to adults about our problems and believe they won’t understand. Therefore, turning to our friends for help instead, but sometimes this can be unhealthy. We shouldn’t have to deal with our problems alone, but our friends most likely have burdens to carry themselves.

Though one should never suffer in silence, if you feel you cannot talk to anybody about what’s bothering you, then you should work  on bettering yourself instead.

Speaking from experience, there are  some things that really helped me when going through rough times:

Journaling. Writing out or even drawing your feelings could be a possible artistic outlet for your emotions. Some may prefer this aesthetically pleasing way to vent, but there is also a different way to perceive this. A rage book. Personally, I like to keep certain pages in my journal specifically dedicated to scribbles and random shapes to express anger. However, some may want to express that in their entire journal or not at all. Know that there is no correct way to vent, and it is all up to the creator. The entire purpose is to do what relieves you.

Baking. Not everybody is a baker, and not everybody may want to make a cake from scratch. However, baking is a technique many use to relieve stress. It’s cheap and accessible to all because of pre-made mixes. There are many simple pastries and desserts one can make easily such as cakes, brownies, cinnabons, and etc.

Read more. Books are full of knowledge, fictional or not. They can take you to entirely different universes where you can understand certain aspects of life from a different perspective. Bibliotherapy is a huge help to many, and it’s definitely worth a try.

Go out more. No, this does not mean go spend a ton of money, rather enjoy the air, the atmosphere, or simply just the presence of other people. Being holed up in a room for an entire day isn’t healthy, and it doesn’t feel good either.

Have a routine. At first it was difficult to establish a routine for myself during certain time periods in my life, but once I found something that worked for me it made me so much more productive. I made time for my schoolwork, hobbies, exercise, and to just chill.

We must remember how important it is to take care of ourselves. Always put yourself first because as cheesy as it sounds, you only live once. You must make it a priority to live the best life possible, or you may regret it.

What You Need to Know about Weight Management


Medically reviewed by

Bronte Vallance, BNutrSc

Written by

HealthMatch staff

What is weight management?

Keeping a healthy weight can be a struggle at the best of times, with confusing diet advice and intimidating exercise fads only adding to the struggle.

However, reaching a healthy weight can be extremely beneficial to both your mental and physical health.

Weight management is all about either losing or gaining weight to reach a healthy goal weight, or to maintain a healthy weight. Most of us want to lose a couple of pounds here or there and weight management is the process of getting rid of those extra pounds.

Having a healthy approach to weight management often includes overall lifestyle changes. When we lose weight we often want it to be gone quickly, but this typically isn’t a healthy or achievable approach.

Weight management is about more than just weight loss

While losing weight is an important first step in weight management, it isn’t the only step. Proper and healthy weight management involves keeping weight off long term and maintaining a healthy weight. Losing weight can be a battle, but keeping the weight off can often be just as hard.

Crash diets and exercise fads can help you to lose weight in the short term, but they’re often not sustainable. When they inevitably become too hard to maintain, we tend to go back to our previous lifestyle habits – the very ones that played a part in weight gain.

Healthy weight management is about implementing lifestyle changes that you can maintain on a long-term basis so that you can lose weight, but also keep it off. Reasonable diet changes and a maintainable exercise regime will leave you reaping the health benefits of weight loss.

Losing weight is only half the challenge – you also want to be able to keep it off in the long term. Through changes to exercise and eating habits, you can safely and effectively achieve steady long-term weight loss.
