Julie Olsson and Sloan Doucette felt a void on the stretch of A1A between St. Augustine and Palm Coast. There was a lack of fresh produce and artisan-baked goods, but not anymore. The duo, who work full time at restaurants in St. Augustine, teamed up to open a new farmers market in Marineland along the Intracoastal Waterway marina. The Salt Air Farmers Market has been open five weeks and is held 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every Tuesday, at 101 Tolstoy Road, Marineland.
Vendor products range from homemade bread, fresh local seafood, local produce, local honey, datil sauces, homemade gluten-free pasta, and local artists.
Another famers market is set to open Nov. 9, in Bunnell. The Bunnell Farm Swap and Market at Thunder Gulch will be open 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. the second and fourth Saturday of every month, at 2551 U.S. 1, Bunnell.
+ Palm Coast Seafood Festival this weekend
The fourth-annual Palm Coast Seafood Festival will be noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, and Sunday, Nov. 3, at Central Park in Town Center, featuring a variety of fresh seafood, live entertainment, a 3-D chalk art demonstration and a kids zone.
Admission and parking to this year’s Seafood Festival are free. The event is presented by the city of Palm Coast and Beach 92.7.
Restaurant and food vendors will include the Golden Lion Café, Marco’s Seafood Express, Golden Gate, the Big Easy Café, T.R. Thornton, Mugshots, the Greek Corner and Galactic Freeze. Two bars will feature a variety of beer, wine and margaritas.
Award-winning 3-D street-painting artists Carolyn Schultz and Zoey Carr will also be featured at the event. Sponsored by Marineland Dolphin Adventure, the art by the mother-daughter team of Schultz and Carr has been described as “so real you can fall into it.”
+ Kokomo’s to host book signing
Kokomo’s Cafe, 202 S. Central Ave., Flagler Beach, will host a book signing 1-3 p.m. Nov. 1, for Palm Coast author John A. Pascucci. He will sign copies of “Jethro: Guardian Angel,” the first book in his series, The Jethro Chronicles.
