Farmers' Market Returns to Surfside
For a fresh way to spend Sundays and support local businesses, the Town of Surfside is relaunching its outdoor farmers market. The popular market returns to the area on Sunday after a hiatus brought on by the recent building collapse. Helmed by Surfside resident Javier Valmana, who is also the creator of Wavey Açaí Bowls, in addition to produce booths, the market offers a selection of home décor items, artisan items, apparel, handmade jewelry, and baked goods. Shoppers can also fuel up on plant-based eats, açaí bowls, and Peruvian-style cuisine from Wavey, Fusion Healthy 315, Yessi’s Kitchen, and more. Beyond the market, donate to the small businesses, retail shops, and restaurants affected by the tragedy via miamichamber.com. 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, August 29 (and every Sunday thereafter), at 9500 Collins Ave., Surfside.
