Going to the local farmer’s markets is one of the most popular weekend activities in Palm Beach County and there are many to choose from, especially during the winter 2024 season.
Whether you’re a resident or just visiting, these markets offer a unique opportunity to savor fresh produce, discover handcrafted goods, and soak in the local culture.
Here’s your guide to the most popular farmer’s markets in Palm Beach County.
West Palm Beach GreenMarket
The West Palm Beach GreenMarket is considered the best farmer’s market in Palm Beach County and the second best farmer’s market in the United States by USA Today’s “10 Best”.

It features seasonal produce, unique offerings, live music, and pop-up workshops. Don’t miss the popular Master Chef Showcase competition every second Saturday where local chefs and vendors compete for the WPB GreenMarket Master Chef title.
