1. Effective immediately, the Farmers Curb Market is discontinuing Wednesday operations. The Saturday Market days will continue from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.  For about two years, we tried to make the Wednesday Market work, but we were not able to have enough customers to keep vendors happy and not enough vendors to keep customers happy. We feel that this is the right decision at this time to concentrate our efforts on continuing to make the Saturday operations successful!

2. Due to popular demand, the Farmers Curb Market will stay open in July! Last year, we closed for two months in the hottest part of the summer, but this year, we will close only in August.

As always, we thank you for your continued support of the Lakeland Downtown Farmers Curb Market!

Thanks to The MaGuires of Lakeland, the Farmers Curb Market has a new video!

We will debut our new project, Vintage Saturdays at the Curb Market, on Saturday, May 5. The idea is to try to satisfy shoppers' desire for items with vintage style.  Going forward, we'll host Vintage Saturdays on the first Saturday of each month. Downtown stores have been invited to participate - either with a table at the Market, or on the sidewalk in front of their own stores - and local individuals who wish to be vendors for this special project will be welcomed. A special application/agreement has been developed for Vintage Saturdays vendors. Regular Market vendors are encouraged to add a vintage spin to the items they already sell or see the Market Manager about adding new appropriate items for these theme days. It is not designed to be a "garage sale"; rather, we expect to see antiques, refinished furniture, old decorative items, certain vintage textiles, and period collectibles. We hope this effort will add a new, trendy component to our already...

We are very excited to welcome back the lovely Elizabeth Gerberding to play her wonderful harp at the Curb Market on Saturday, March 17, 2012 from 9-1. Please come out and hear this gorgeous dreamy music! She has CDs for sale and teaches lessons too!

That's right, you can get a FREE strawberry shortcake on Saturday, February 25 right at the Downtown Farmers Curb Market while they last. We start serving at 9 a.m. and will dish them out until they are all gone. Past history tells us you better come early!

We are pleased that the choir from Gapway Baptist Church will sing Christmas music at the Market from 10 to about 11 a.m. on Saturday! Come on out an hear them "make a joyful noise!"

Thank you! You, our community, supported the poinsettia sales in a big way and we know you are delighted with them. Early figures show that we netted $850 with a few items still trickling in. We use that money to fund live music at the Market. Happy Holidays to you all, no matter what you celebrate! And thanks for your contributions to the music program!

Is it too early to think about Christmas and other December holidays? Maybe it is too soon to cook a turkey, but if you like to decorate with holiday poinsettias, it is nearly the eleventh hour!

Each year as a fund raiser, the Downtown Farmers Curb Market has been selling 6 different sizes and 4 different colors of poinsettias in pots or hanging baskets. The prices are as good or better than anywhere and the quality is excellent.

We place our order with our LOCAL grower by November 10th for delivery on November 29th so you will have your poinsettias from a few days after Thanksgiving throughout the entire holiday season! Our poinsettias are NOT transported here from miles away.

Here's the order form...
