What Is the Yellow Green Farmers Market?
If you've spent any time in Hollywood, FL, chances are someone has told you to check out the Yellow Green Farmers Market. And they were right to bring it up. What started as a neighborhood market has grown into one of the largest open-air markets in South Florida, drawing thousands of visitors every weekend from Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Davie, and well beyond.
With over 300 vendors spread across more than 100,000 square feet, this is not your average farmers market. Yes, you'll find locally grown produce and fresh flowers. But you'll also find handmade jewelry, imported spices, international street food, artisan hot sauce, homemade baked goods, and items you'd never expect to stumble across on a Saturday morning. It's become as much a community event as a shopping destination.
Location & Getting There
The Yellow Green Farmers Market is located at 1940 North 30th Road in Hollywood, FL 33021. It's conveniently positioned just off I-95, which makes it an easy stop whether you're coming from the north or south. There's ample free parking on-site, so you don't need to stress about finding a spot.
Market Hours
Saturday & Sunday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Hours can vary around holidays, so it's worth a quick check on their website before you head out.
If you're coming from downtown Hollywood or the Broadwalk area, it's about a 10-minute drive. Coming from Fort Lauderdale or Miramar, you're looking at 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic.
What to Expect Inside
The variety is genuinely impressive. South Florida's cultural diversity shows up in every aisle. You'll find Latin American produce and pantry staples, Caribbean spice blends, Asian pantry ingredients, and European-style pastries all within a few stalls of each other. It's a great place to pick up ingredients you can't find at a standard grocery store.
Here's a breakdown of what you're likely to encounter:
- Fresh produce from local growers, with seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs
- International foods spanning Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, and Europe
- Specialty pantry items including gourmet honey, hot sauces, spice blends, and artisan chocolates
- Artisan goods like handmade jewelry, candles, ceramics, and home decor
- Baked goods and prepared foods for eating on-site or taking home
- Live entertainment on select weekends, adding to the energy of the space
The food stalls deserve their own mention. This is one of the few markets where you could make a full meal out of vendor samples and walk-around bites. Come with an appetite.
Tips for First-Timers
If this is your first visit, a little preparation goes a long way. The market gets noticeably busier as the morning progresses, so getting there early means more breathing room and shorter waits at the popular food vendors.
Arrive Early
Before 9 AM means cooler temps, lighter crowds, and first pick of the freshest produce.
Wear Comfortable Shoes
You'll cover a lot of ground. Skip the sandals if you plan to spend a full morning there.
Bring Reusable Bags
You'll almost certainly buy more than you planned. A couple of sturdy bags make the haul easier.
Have Cash on Hand
Most vendors accept cards, but some smaller stalls are cash-only or prefer it.
Good to Know
The market is a great outing for families, couples, solo explorers, and anyone who enjoys supporting small businesses. It's also a solid option if you're visiting Hollywood for the first time and want to get a feel for the local community.
Start Your Morning Right
Before you hit the market, it's worth starting with a proper cup of coffee. Not a gas station cup, not a drive-through chain — something that's actually worth waking up for.
