Green markets offer fresh-picked fare

Real tomato-tasting tomatoes, fresh greens, fresh flowers — you can’t beat the offerings at local green markets sprouting this month. Most are at new locations. Here’s a list of those handy for the Coastal Star readership: Delray Beach Green Market • In the street on Southeast Fourth Avenue, just south of East Atlantic Avenue • Opens Oct. 31, and continues Saturday through spring, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. • A number of activities held here throughout the year — including a doggie Easter bonnet contest and a chili cook-off — make this an event market. Produce, seafood, plants and prepared foods are sold. Ocean Avenue Green Market/East • 129 E. Ocean Ave., Boynton Beach, at the Schoolhouse Children’s Museum • Opens Oct. 31, continues Saturdays through spring, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. • A café every Saturday serves a number of full breakfasts here; fresh produce, and sales of prepared and bottled foods support local food entrepreneurs who are always on site to chat. Ocean Avenue Green Market/West • Boynton Mall south parking lot, along Old Boynton Road, 801 S. Congress Ave., Boynton Beach • Open Oct. 31, Saturdays through spring, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. • A carryover from the east market, food entrepreneurs will offer prepared and bottled foods, fresh produce and plants at this new market that will eventually become year-round and indoors. Oceanside Farmer’s Market • On J Street, between Lake and Lucerne avenues, downtown Lake Worth • Open year-round, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. • Wide selection of vegetables and fruits, baked goods, bouquets and cooking demos, plus live music every week are offered at this fun street market.
