Mixon Farms Market

The historic grounds of the former Mixon Fruit Farms find renewed purpose with the launch of this weekly outdoor community market in Bradenton. Recently acquired by Manatee County and preserved as a public park, the 39-acre property now hosts more than 40 regional vendors set up near the old farm store and grand pavilion. Shoppers can browse stalls offering fresh local produce, sourdough bread, handmade artisan crafts, and hot street food. Live music and outdoor yoga sessions round out the market atmosphere, establishing a new neighborhood hub that continues the agricultural legacy of the citrus grove while introducing a relaxed weekend destination for area residents.
