The Crooked River Lighthouse is celebrating the one year anniversary of the Country Farmer’s Market! With the start of the cooler fall weather, it’s the perfect time to enjoy this outdoor market at Lighthouse Park, 1975 Hwy 98 West, Carrabelle, FL. Crooked River Lighthouse will be hosting its next market on Saturday, October 3 from 9:00 am-1:00 pm.

This open-air market at the foot of the lighthouse features vendors from the community with gorgeous art and photography, craft items, handmade goods, fresh roasted coffee, delicious baked goods, veggies, handcrafted soaps, exotic starter plants, plus unique maritime items inside. The Country Farmer’s Market is held every first and third Saturday from 9 am-1 pm at Crooked River Lighthouse. The Market is now actively recruiting new and returning vendors. Vendors may sign up at any time.

The cost to be a vendor is FREE for members of the Carrabelle Lighthouse Association and $10 per market for non-members. In honor of the one year anniversary, vendors will receive a small gift at the October 3rd Country Farmer’s Market. The very popular food truck by Kent’s Smokin’ Sausages will be returning this Saturday. While guests are browsing the fabulous goods and products of the vendor booths, they can munch on sausage dogs, wings, chicken tenders, grouper, or flounder, and sip on some refreshing strawberry lemonade!  The food truck will be serving from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm.

At 1:00 pm, local herbalist, Denise Williams will take visitors for a guided medicinal plant walk. Denise will lead guests for this 30-minute walk around the grounds of the lighthouse and explore its natural resources. The guided walk costs $5 and can accept a max of 10 people. Guests can also visit the free Museum and browse inside the Lighthouse Gift Shop. In addition, shoppers and visitors have the unique opportunity to climb to the top of the lighthouse for a breathtaking view of the Bay.
