That direct relationship is what draws many Lakeland residents to the market week after week.

The selection at Downtown Farmers Curb Market changes as the growing season progresses. Early in the season, expect cool-weather crops like salad greens, radishes, and herbs.

This seasonal rhythm is something you feel at a farmers market in a way you never do in a grocery store.
