“Our customers have been asking us for years to come to North Port,” Henry Detwiler Sr., founder of Detwiler’s Farm Market, said. “We’re excited to finally bring our farm market experience to this community. This location is especially meaningful because it allows us to design and build from the ground up, creating our largest store yet and an experience that truly reflects who we are.”

His son, Sam Detwiler, said the project is a major step for the company.

“This is a big step forward for us,” he said. “North Port is growing quickly, and we’re looking forward to growing alongside it — bringing our quality, value and unique shopping experience to even more families.”

The new store will include its full range of departments, including fresh produce, deli, bakery, seafood, meat and grocery items.
