Ormond in the Pines plans to host it's first farmer's market July 23.
Ormond Beach residents will soon have another farmer’s market to visit.
Ormond in the Pines is hosting their first farmer’s market “Market in the Pines” at 8 a.m. July 23. Sales Leader Gay Dearbeck said she hopes the market will bring people into their community, which is located off Clyde Morris Boulevard.
“We are independent assisted living retirement community,” Dearbeck said. “We want people to know that we’re here and we’re probably the best place in Florida for a senior to be because our residents are really, really happy.”
“We want the general public to come,” Account Executive for Apex Home Heathcare Pam West said,” and learn about Ormond in the Pines. It’s something fun for them to come here to do.”
West said she expects at least 10 vendors for their grand opening. People will be able to buy fresh produce, teas, plants, rice, juice smoothies, Thai food, local honey, handmade pottery, handmade jewelry and pickles.
“The market is going to be all spread around the facility,” West said. “It’s going to be inside and outside. Right now we’re just trying to get if off the ground but if it gets really popular then we will increase the frequency.”
The 190-apartment facility keeps their seniors busy with activities like a swimming pool, gambling boats and trips to the dog races.
“They are just very, very busy,” Dearbeck said. ”We need people to see how happy and how exciting it is to live here. That’s what we want to promote. It’s cool being a senior.”
The market will be opened from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. the fourth Wednesday of every month.
