City Market has two produce dealers, Global Produce & Cristina’s Produce located on the west side of City Market that is open every day. They sell a wide variety of produce at prices lower than typical grocery stores. While some of their inventory is locally-grown and seasonally driven, some are also sourced nationally and internationally and provide customers with year-round access to fresh fruits and vegetables including citrus and tropical produce. City Market also hosts the region’s largest Farmers Market on Saturdays and Sundays year-round. Growers from a 500-mile radius sell their produce in the sheds in the center of City Market Square. Their inventory varies with the season.
