Dear Community, Ahhh... what's not to love about Saturday morning at the Farmers Market? The cool October air brings our entire City to life. We love to see your smiling faces and excitement when you spot your favorite Vendors or meet up with friends, old and new. Our area is home to some amazing creative talent. Check out the video above made by John Markadakis, Director or Stellar Media Collective. John stopped by last week and was inspired by our community to put together a wonderful video featuring some magical Market moments - make sure to check it out! Read on to learn more about an exciting new Vendor, our featured musician and non-profit, this week's Market map, and more!

New Vendor: Purely Mana

Join us in welcoming Purely Mana to the Sarasota Farmers Market! Owners Todd and Tyler use commercial toasters and air fryers to prepare their food, which minimizes the amount of oil needed for cooking, preserves overall food quality, and enhances the customer experience. All of their products are made with 100% organic, grass-fed, gluten-free, grain-free, and sugar-free ingredients. They look forward to serving the Market community by offering healthier foods for a healthier lifestyle! (Click here to check out their menu.) Purely Mana is located on First Street, west of Lemon Ave. (Space #9)

This Week's Featured Non-Profit: Sarasota Orchestra

Since 1949, Sarasota Orchestra has inspired and entertained music-lovers across the region and visitors from around the world. Their acclaimed music education program includes the Sarasota Youth Orchestras, established in 1959.   Check out their tent this weekend for information about upcoming concerts - and don’t forget to spin-to-win for fun swag. If you’re lucky, you may even score free tickets! Sarasota Orchestra will be located on Lemon Avenue, south of Main Street (near Wild Side Farms).

Performing around 300 shows a year, Tommy D is one of the busiest entertainers in Southwest Florida. He plays a wide range of genres at his gigs… Rock, Funk, Blues, and some Latin grooves.
