Sponsored by the Oceanside Business Associations, the Saturday Farmers Market is drawing crowds to the central beach commercial district, where the OBA hopes market shoppers will also visit the boutiques and restaurants along Cardinal Drive and Ocean Drive .  Vendors at the market offer fresh food, including citrus, seafood, fresh breads, pastries, botanicals, locally grown landscape plants, honey, spices, drinks, and more.

Pets as well as people are welcome at the market.  This week the Robert and Marcia Loewinger dogs, now famous for having counted the parking spaces in downtown Vero Beach, were bundled up in their sweaters.
