Sunday marked the third “Market on Main” farmer’s market of the year in Safety Harbor, Florida.
Market on Main is a weekly farmer’s market that happens every Sunday morning from late September into May along Main Street in Safety Harbor. Once a month, the market grows and has a special theme. Sunday was the larger market for January, which was themed “New Year, New You,” and promoted products and activities designed to help patrons get and stay healthy. Mercedes Ofalt is the director of Market on Main, and was optimistic for this week’s event despite looming weather and lower crowds. “This is very light, and you are not seeing us at our heyday. This is light in vendors because of the weather, people were anticipating that it was going to storm most of the day. And it’s also light in attendance, I think people are staying home.” In keeping with the message of health and wellness, there were free family yoga glasses, chair massages, essential oils to buy and even fitness themed T-shirts. One unique vendor to this farmer’s market was local LuLaRoe consultant Nicole Guthrie. LuLaRoe is boutique clothing featuring tops, dresses, and, most famously, leggings. The clothing is not sold in any physical stores, and can only be purchased through a consultant online or at a “pop up” shop like a party or, in this case, a farmer’s market. Other vendors include artisan dips for chips and pretzels, a local visual artist, handmade jewelry, and food options ranging from wheatgrass shots to hot dogs. Market on Main is happening weekly until May, then it will occur monthly until September. More information can be found at facebook.com/SHMarketonMain
