The Kendall Farmers Market rely solely on vendors fees, sponsorships and fundraising efforts to run this seasonal market. Sponsorships help with marketing efforts to increase the market’s visibility around South Florida and grow further as the largest community involved farmers market in South Florida.  

The Kendall Farmers Market will be at the center of what we love most about our region – Good Food and Great People!
