Marco Island Farmer’s Market at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church returns in full swing Wednesday morning. It will be held on Wednesdays through April 16. The market will open for business at 7:30 a.m. and close at 11:30 a.m. on the mark.

“It’s wonderful! Everyone on the island is happy the market will be back,” said Dale Lindquist, liaison between St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and the farmer’s market.

“We had to solve our traffic problems because of the work that is being done on Collier and also last year’s parking problems on Elkcam. After we finally solved those problems to the satisfaction of the church, the city and the police department, the city was happy to give us the permit. We appreciate their support.”

This year’s items for sale will include fresh vegetables, flowers, homemade pasta and sauces, tropical jellies, salsa, olives, bread and cheese. Fifty percent of all farmer’s market vendor’s fees go directly to the Guadeloupe Center to help needy families and the other half goes toward St.Mark’s Episcopal Church outreach ministries.
