Last Chances to Visit Punta Gorda's Worden's Organic Farm Market in Fishermen's Village

Sadly, all too soon after it opened for the season, Worden's Organic Farm Market in Fishermen's Village will close for the season at the end of March.  But if you love the absolute lush freshness of their organic products, you will still find them for awhile longer at their other locations in Sarasota, Sanibel Island, and Naples.

Yesterday, I stoppped by their market in Punta Gorda, and got some new perspectives on vegetables:

A turnip from the garden:

A-mazing Daikons -- Japanese radishes.

Clearly seeing how your carrots are grown:

In the early morning Fishermen's Village is an enchanting experience as  pelicans gather awaiting the day's catch,  feral cats stretch and begin their wanderings,  tour and fishing boats ready for the day's outings, and the quiet sounds and sights of the harbor are mostly yours before the daily hoard of tourists arrive.  And if you arrive  on Wednesday early in the next few weeks,  you can watch the Worden Market staff set up and get first choice of their harvest.
