SUMTER COUNTY FARMERS MARKET, INC.
WEBSTER, FLORIDA

Sumter County Farmers Market, Inc., established in 1937, operates from the heart of Florida in Webster. Originally founded by local farmers to sell vegetables and cattle, it has grown into the oldest and largest flea market in the state, noted for being among Florida's top ten tourist attractions. Spanning over 40 acres, the market remains accessible to all visitors without any admission or parking fees. Beginning as a venue where farm families sold unwanted items, by the early 1950s it evolved to include antiques and collectibles, expanding its appeal significantly. Today, many of the original founders continue to offer fresh produce cultivated on local family farms within a new, expansive vegetable building. The market is also renowned for its cattle auction activities, receiving cattle each Monday evening from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., and again on Tuesday starting at 7 a.m. All animals must be in line by 11:30 a.m. as the sales commence promptly at 12 p.m. each Tuesday, except when posted differently. This Florida-based nonprofit organization (Company Type: DOMNP) has Lamar Parker, James L Wall, and Kristina L Fort serving as board members. Further details regarding this enduring community fixture can be found on their website at sumtercountyfarmersmarket.com, with the official incorporation date of December 21, 1937. The latest annual report was filed on February 23, 2024 (for the year 2024), and it holds a Florida company status under filing number 790271.
