LEALMAN, Fla. – The Lealman Farmers Market returns Sunday, Jan. 26, continuing its mission to provide access to fresh, affordable produce and foster community connections in an area without a grocery store.

Held at the Lealman Exchange, 5175 45th St. N., the market will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring a variety of local vendors offering fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods, handmade crafts, and more.

The market not only bridges the gap in food accessibility but also creates an opportunity for neighbors to connect and support small businesses. "This market is more than just a place to shop—it’s a hub for building relationships and strengthening our community," said a spokesperson for the market.
