Florida’s Oldest and Largest Flea Market

January 25, 2017 by TL Stephens1 Comment

The Market, as we kids called it, has been in existence as long as I can remember. Looking through the eyes of youth, it seemed huge, with lots of sheds and tables and vendors.  To us, it was the perfect playground, especially during the long hot days of summer.  As I grew into adulthood, I began to realize what an important role the Market played in the lives of so many, especially the farmers who were its mainstays.
