The Pompano Beach Green Market has been running for years, but it’s been in an expansion phase recently that’s worth noting. What started as a modest weekend produce market has grown into one of the more comprehensive farmers market experiences in Broward County — and it’s happening every Saturday morning in the Civic Center area.
The vendor mix has diversified considerably. Beyond the traditional produce stands (local tomatoes, herbs, tropical fruits, citrus), the market now regularly features locally made hot sauces and condiments, prepared foods from independent vendors, fresh-cut flower arrangements, handmade jewelry and crafts, and a rotating selection of baked goods that have developed their own following.
The coffee situation at the market has improved significantly — a couple of specialty coffee vendors have become regulars, and the morning crowd has responded by showing up earlier. If you’re arriving after 10 a.m. on a good weather Saturday, expect to compete for parking.
For families, the market is one of the better weekend options in the city. The layout is walkable, there are typically activities for kids near the periphery, and the atmosphere is about as low-key and community-friendly as a weekend morning in Pompano gets.
It’s also genuinely good for the local economy. Every dollar spent at the market stays closer to home than the alternative. Show up hungry and bring a bag — you’ll leave with more than you planned to buy.
