Siesta Key gets OK for farmers market
Herald Tribune Wednesday June 18, 2008
Sarasota County Commissioners approved an ordinance change Friday that will allow a farmers market to open on Siesta Key.
The ordiance change that was months in the works let organizers hold a one-year permit that allows them 50 weekends a year for a farmer's market.
Bryan Eible, owner of Foxy Lady Siesta Key and Salon Foxy Lady, who fought to get the Siesta Key farmers market, has said it will be open on Sundays from 7:00 AM to noon and will offer mostly organic items.
There will also be lowkey live entertainment.
Edible has said he is not sure when the market will start up, but it will be within a few weeks of the oridance passage.
