Visit a Southwest Florida farm – where melons, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage and peppers abound – and meet the hardworking hands that cultivate our local crops. While much of the public may never glimpse the behind-the-curtain aspects of this booming industry, there are upwards of 74,000 agriculture-related jobs in the Charlotte, Manatee and Sarasota counties combined. In Sarasota County alone, there are 61,033 acres of farmland. More than 20 types of fruits and vegetables are grown commercially on the 313,485 farming acres in Manatee County, including 575,820,000 pounds of citrus every year. In other words, farming is big business in our tri-county region, and our growers have lovingly provided us with fresh produce for generations.

A Saturday morning stroll through one of the many area farmers’ markets, for some locals, is a ritualistic start to every weekend. Arrive at the downtown Sarasota Farmers’ Market empty-handed at 7 a.m. and leave with armfuls of herbs, popsicles, pastas and plants from 85 vendors. Head to the Downtown Bradenton Farmers’ Market, which tempts patrons with more then 40 vendors selling homegrown produce, pastries and jewelry every Saturday from October to May. Make a day of it and meander down the street to the Riverwalk, where there is a skateboard park, pavilion and interactive splash pool.
