MUCH better produce than Publix. There's also a Farmer's Market in the Grove, not sure if they still do it- went last year and it was not impressive. I go to this market all the time- great place.

I was there for the Stone Crab picnic too... The sides by Whisk Gourmet were delicious. They had blue cheese and bacon potato salad, greek salad and roasted beets. We tried some of each. It was the perfect day for a picnic!</p> BM - Glad you liked it. I was there for the Stone Crab picnic too… The sides by Whisk Gourmet were delicious.

I read it at 1200p on Saturday, got dressed, and hauled ass over to check it out. Best thing is that there is a little parking garage for $1/hr just across LeJeune. I was very pleased with the quality of veggies and the prices were awesome! I got a pint of roma tomatoes for $1, a bushel of green beans for $2.50, two fatty ears of corn for $1, and a cubanelle pepper for $1. I resisted the urge to buy a bunch of tea and spices because Im already overstocked on tea and I had no specific use for the spices (although herbs de provence are always good to have around). Then I headed over to the stone crab booth (Steve's Stone Crabs) and picked up a pound to enjoy with a 6-rack of suds and my neighbor. I thought overall that the market was great and much better than Glaser Farms Market in the Grove with prices that range from high to complete absurd. I would like to see some mushroom variety there though. That and there is a company from the Keys that I forget the name of but they make a ton of different Key Lime products and one is a Key Lime Mustard Sauce that is phenomenal. I need to remember who that is... One more thing to point out... The Stone Crab lunch had items catered by Whisk Gourmet, which is located on LeJeune just off of US1. I definitely recommend checking them out as their lunches and early dinners (they close @ 7p but you can call ahead) are incredibly good. Check em out at www.whiskgourmet.com and if you go, be sure to go for the skirt steak! THanks for this post Paula. I read it at 1200p on Saturday, got dressed, and hauled ass over to check it out.

I am definitely looking forward to hitting this market. If you end up in Pinecrest, I can't wait to hear how it goes. It's a bit of a trek now that I am car-free and alternative transportation dependent, but I look forward to your report! Beautiful pictures! I am definitely looking forward to hitting this market.

The tea blends look awesome. Have you tried the new <a href="http://www.ishqsouthbeach.com" rel="nofollow">Indian restaurant</a> on South Beach, its called ISHQ. If you enjoy organic foods and a great atmosphere you might want to check it out. Great post and images. The tea blends look awesome.

That's an improvement from when I last visited. I’d definitely check it out for the Paradise Farms and stone crab selections. That’s an improvement from when I last visited.
