The latest volume of signatures confirms that the demand for a local farmers' market is undeniable. I am scheduling a formal meeting with the village council to present this data and initiate the permitting process.

Efforts like this one and the revitalization of Downtown Miami Shores will increase our sense of community while creating a fun "vibe" for our area. We lack "vibe" right now, which, in my opinion, is a big reason why many great tenants/small businesses overlook Miami Shores when considering where to set up shop. This market would be awesome for our community for many reasons!

I would love a farmers market in our town! The development of 2nd avenue and making that an actual "main street" and town center would be amazing for our property values and attracting tourists to new cafes and restaurants and shops.

Great idea to bring the community together and enjoy a fresh variety of farm products. Hopefully we can keep this full of local South Florida produce!

Not quite sure why such a family friendly neighborhood and preffered residential market does not have a farmer's market yet and has to go through a petition?! What else other than a farmer's market brings residents together and makes "village beautiful"?

Keep it simple...no vendors selling clothing, or flea market type items. Just farmer's items.
