Mayor Nancy Graham was inspired to re-create the culture of public markets in Europe. According to the city, Graham is quoted as saying, “In the green markets I visited, people selling the produce knew their shoppers’ names and the shoppers could ask questions about the products.

The West Palm Beach GreenMarket beat out hot spots like Seattle, Washington; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Santa Monica, California. The green market is open Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. between October and April. It is located on the Great Lawn at the West Palm Beach waterfront at 100 North Clematis Street.
