The Palm Valley Farmers Market is located in the heart of Palm Valley in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. It is held every Tuesday from 10 am to 1 pm at the Palm Valley Community Center. The market features local vendors who provide products such as farm-fresh produce, eggs, milk, fresh-baked breads, pies,cookies, fresh seafood, direct-trade, grade-A coffee, artisan jams, cheeses, and homemade biscotti.

Regular vendors include: The Harvest Basket (produce, eggs, milk, cheese, bread), Fish Chic Seafood, Café Llano Bonito (coffee & biscotti), and the Little Black Box Baked Goods (jams, pies, cookies). Directly across the street from the market is also GYO Greens, an aquaponics farm that provides locally grown micro-greens and other produce to local restaurants. They open their farm to the public every Tuesday from 2-5pm so market guests can purchase directly from them and see their operation in action.

Each month at Nocatee, a market pops up offering food, crafts, and gifts, plus activities and special events related specifically to a unique and ever-changing theme.

Held the 3rd Saturday of the Month from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm, the Nocatee Farmers Market is full of activities, shows and demonstrations for the entire family. With more than 80 vendors and so much to do, everyone is sure to have a great time. This market offers less fresh produce than other area markets, but there are lots of homemade jams, jellies, home baked goods, hand stitched quilts, plants, art and pottery items. There is also a tasty array of prepared food offerings including local St. Augustine crab cakes, smoked BBQ, kettle corn, pulled pork BBQ and Kona shaved ice.

We’re a group of poets celebrating 20 years together using a critique format with one aim: to be better writers.

No dues, no long-term obligations, but sympathetic writing assistance, and lots of laughter. Anyone who wants to write well is invited to come to our meetings on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 2 p.m. at the Ponte Vedra Library.

Read our first collective book, A Gathering of Poets, listed on Amazon Books. Contact accidentals@comcast.net to get on our notification list.

It all started with a question published in a local newspaper: would anyone like to form a poetry group? Ten of us met at the Ponte Vedra Library and have been meeting at 2 p.m. on the first and third Thursdays of each month ever since. Some of us have died, but nobody’s ever quit. We have 15 loyal writers with the single aim of making our writing the best it can be. We’re a critique group in the best sense of that term. Sympathetic, encouraging, laughing at our goofs and celebrating our victories. We’ve published a collection of our writings and are about to debut a second anthology. We are open to anyone who is serious about writing well and will consider starting an evening group for working folks.
