You’re probably familiar with the enormous Brickell City Centre project that has been slowly but surely engulfing a section of Brickell between Southwest Sixth and Eighth Streets along South Miami Avenue. The $1.05 billion, 5.4 million-square-foot development has been over four years in the making—and it’s almost complete!

In anticipation of the the massive live-work-play-shop-eat complex nearing its final stages, Swire Properties Inc., the project’s developer, has partnered with The Market Company to create a weekly farmers’ market that will run every Sunday from 11am-6pm along the landscaped pathway between Seventh and Eighth Streets, directly underneath the Metromover track. The first farmers’ market will take place this Sunday, April 17.

The Brickell City Centre Farmers’ Market will feature conventional and organically grown produce as well as a variety of cheeses, breads, and prepared foods. Zak the Baker bread, local honey, orchids, fruit smoothies, Argentine empanadas, artisanal olive oil, and herb plants round out the growing list. The farmers’ market hopes to continue growing with additional vendors and cultural programming soon to be announced.

It’s a welcome addition to the Brickell neighborhood, which hasn’t had a consistent farmers’ market in years.
