Foley

Elberta

Baldwin County's Elberta Farmers Market sets up at 24978 State Street, running mornings from 8 a.m. to noon. It's a modest stop compared to the bigger coastal Alabama markets nearby, with vendors selling eggs and other farm basics rather than a wide specialty lineup. Cash, credit, and debit are all accepted at most tables.

Fairhope

MicroGreen Market in Fairhope isn't a weekly outdoor market, it's a working microgreens farm that grows and sells specialty greens and edible flowers directly from its Rockwell Lane property. The grower will cut custom varieties on request for chefs and home cooks who want something beyond standard pea shoots and sunflower micros. Call ahead to arrange a pickup.

Fairhope

Shoppers find this market behind the Fairhope Public Library, at Bancroft Street and Magnolia Avenue, on Thursday afternoons from 2 to 6 p.m. during the spring and fall growing seasons. A First Saturday morning market runs April through June as well, 8 a.m. to noon. Baldwin County farmers and makers bring produce, plants, local honey, and handmade goods, with food trucks rotating through on select days.

Spanish Fort

Fitzpen Place is a shopping center on US Highway 31 in Spanish Fort, and this market operates out of that lot rather than a standalone building. Little else about current vendors or hours is published online, so a call ahead is the most reliable way to confirm it's still running on a given weekend.

Pensacola Growers' Retail Farmers' Market operates near Brentwood Park on North Palafox Street. As a retail growers' market, it's built around growers selling direct to shoppers rather than the wholesale model used at Florida's larger state farmers markets. Specific current vendor and schedule details weren't confirmable online.

Gulf Breeze

Market in the Breeze has run in Gulf Breeze since late summer 2015, when its founders pitched the concept directly to city officials. It sets up at 800 Shoreline Drive, selling artisanal products, local goods, and street food in a walkable waterfront setting. Call 850-733-9291 to confirm the current schedule before visiting.
