About the East Orlando Farmers Market
Founded in October 2020, the East Orlando Farmers Market offers the UCF-centric part of town a weekly opportunity to support small business, peruse local art, and purchase wholesome foods for their families. Founded by local residents, Diana and Destiny, the market offers 40-60 local vendors featuring a wide variety of products like handcrafted espresso drinks, raw honey, and locally-grown produce. You can find a list of some of their monthly vendors on their website.

The Market occurs every Sunday from 11am-4pm. You can find it at the Waterford Lakes Shopping Plaza at 413 N Alafaya Trail, Orlando, FL 32828, between Zaza’s and the Marble Slab Creamery. This is an outdoor event, so please dress and prepare for the weather.

Online Farmers Market
But Diana and Destiny didn’t only create a physical Farmers Market. They also realized an unmet need within the community. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on our social lives and community connectedness, small and locally-focused businesses face obstacles and barriers to reaching new customers or appropriately serving current clients in contactless ways.
To combat this issue, Diana and Destiny created a completely virtual (and contactless) Online Farmers Market! With this option, customers can browse and preorder a variety of local goods from vendors including Orlando City Kombucha, White Rose Farms, Vegan Armor, and many more! After selecting their items, buyers will prepay right on the site and prepare for a curbside pickup at the next physical East Orlando Farmers Market (Weekly orders must be received by Thursday at noon for proper preparation).
Check out the available vendors (exact offerings may change) and place your order on the market’s website!
