Love this place. It’s an indoor/outdoor farmer’s market and produce stand but they also sells plants, trees and pottery at very reasonable prices.

I love making my produce rounds and Rorabeck’s is often on my list because I can get my veggie/fruit/plant fix all in one place. Especially, if I have time to dilly dally a little bit… I will roam the acre of landscaping plants just to get inspiration and often I find something unique hiding or tucked away inconspicuously. Like the tiny chiltepin bird chile I discovered or the 3 gallon bucket of fennel or the myriad of brightly colored coleus that can grow to enormous sizes here in our beautiful tropical Florida weather.

As for produce, Rorabeck’s is an outdoor covered market that has a plethora of local, in season fruits and veggies as well as other ethnic staples that may be harder to come by at a typical American grocery store. In fact, I used to miss the diversity of the produce we could get when we lived in the Bay Area in California. But over the last couple of years, I’ve discovered so many hidden jewels on my own and with the enthusiastic support of my Florida born sidekick, that I’m hard pressed to miss anything at all. I’ve also taken some of my Minnesota friends here and they’ve just been fascinated at how much beautiful produce we can bring home for under $20.

Small baskets of jalapeños, local beefsteak tomatoes, avocados, mangos, cucumbers, plums, peaches, shallots, summer squash, cabbage, onions… you name it. Its easier to go overboard than it is to not find something you just have to have. The baskets all contain goodies from anywhere to $1-$3 on average and most of it is very ripe, intended to be used or processed within the week. Ideal for juicing, canning or just planning weekly family meals.
