Sure sign that Fall is back!

We may not have sweater-weather when the calendar turns to fall, but we DO welcome the Phillippi Farmhouse Market back… this year, on Wednesday October 1. Located on Tamiami Trail/41 at 5500 S. Trail, it’s Florida at its best (and a bit of Come-From-Afar too… bonzai, bagels!)

*The Keiths from Chicago, whose interest in Sarasota was piqued by Bertha Palmer.*

In addition to providing wonderful foods and

more every Wednesday from 9am til 1pm, the funds raised go to turning the 1915 Keith Farmhouse into an interpretive center for the community. Before or after you shop, take a docented tour of the Edson Keith Mansion at 10am, then see what the Farmhouse looks like restored at 11am. Both tours are free/ donations gratefully accepted, and they are also the only tours open to the public. Parking is free and ample.
