Ocoee market closed till summer

The creators of the West Oaks Farmers Market temporarily are closing the market they opened in September. They posted a message on the market’s Facebook page:

“We are reaching out to inform you that the market will be closing until around summertime. During this time, we want to take a step back to reassess what we’ve accomplished, identify areas for improvement, and secure the best possible location within the mall to benefit everyone.

“We deeply appreciate each of you for being part of our vision and for your unwavering support. A special thanks goes to those who have shown compromise, effort and a positive spirit throughout this journey. Your dedication has meant so much to us and the market’s growth.

“We look forward to welcoming you to a bigger, better and fully indoor farmers market in the near future. Thank you again for your partnership, and we’ll keep you updated as we finalize details.”

The farmers market originally opened Fridays and Saturdays before scaling it down to one day per week several months ago. The market offered local produce, home décor and accessories, candles, books, clothing and more.
