Winter Garden owns Saturday morning
Three films circle the same ritual: the Winter Garden Farmers Market on Plant Street — parking in the free garage, stalls of honey, produce and baked goods along a brick-lined downtown. One host notes the market runs about 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and calls the town famous for it; another explores why this west-Orlando town, about 15 minutes from Disney, has become one of the area's most popular places to live. The foodie version ends at Plant Street Market, the food hall with Michelin-level sushi.
The depot and the lake
The Winter Park Farmers Market fills the historic train depot on Saturdays — honey, produce and baked goods in a saved-from-demolition landmark (this site's Winter Park guide rides the same ground). Sunday belongs to the Lake Eola Farmers Market downtown: two films walk it — Pokémon shirts, breads, honeys, plants and a steampunk booth among the stalls around the lake — one of them anchoring a Thornton Park neighborhood tour, the market as the front door to one of the city's most walkable historic districts.
The pilgrimage: Parkesdale
About 45 minutes southwest in Plant City, Florida's strawberry capital, Parkesdale Farm Market draws its own film for one reason: the world-famous strawberry shortcake its host calls the best on Earth. Winter strawberry season is its moment — the market trip to plan a season around.
