The Captiva Island Farmers Market is returning to the island with its first event set for Nov. 4.<\/p>\n

Celebrating its eighth season, the market will be held on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Shops at South Seas from November through April. Organized by Local Roots, which is co-owned by island residents Jean Baer and Betsy Ventura, it will feature a variety of vendors and products, plus crafters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an excellent activity for the visitors of Captiva that are staying at the resorts and rental properties, and it gives both residents of Sanibel and Captiva a midweek option if they can\u2019t make the Sanibel market,\u201d Baer, who also owns and operates the Sanibel Island Farmers Market alongside Ventura, said.<\/p>\n

About 30 vendors will be participating in the Captiva market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got fresh produce. We\u2019ve got lots of different kinds of desserts. We have lunch items, to include crepes, pizza, Cuban sandwiches, chicken salad, barbecue,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got fresh crab cakes. We\u2019ve got meals to go and acai bowls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some returning favorites this season will include 12 Seasons Farms, Angelic Desserts, Dynasty Guacamole, Heritage Honey, Jimmy\u2019s Java, and My Exotic Fruits.<\/p>\n

Local crafters and artisans will also take part.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have a variety of crafts,\u201d Baer said. \u201cWe\u2019ll have jewelry, beach-style clothing, straw hats, wall art, custom-made tin art.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pet owners are welcome to bring their family pooches.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that\u2019s important to people, this is a good market to come to,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As in last season, vehicle parking will be located across the street.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always encourage people to golf cart or bike if they can,\u201d Baer said, noting that there is limited parking for vehicles. \u201cWe have great parking for golf carts and bicycles.\u201d<\/p>\n

On behalf of Ventura and herself, she shared their appreciation for the support.<\/p>\n

\u201cA big shout out, thank you to South Seas for being the host site and to the residents of Captiva for welcoming us back,\u201d Baer said.<\/p>\n

Residents and visitors are welcome to stop by, browse and shop.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupport local small businesses and share in the camaraderie with your neighbors,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
