You can also stop here for hand soaps, shea butter, and other lotions. The market is open year-around so you can have your local produce any day.

To The Moon Marketplace

With over 90 types of dark chocolate bars and famous hard-to-find candy, To The Moon Marketplace is nirvana for those with a sweet tooth.

In a nutshell, it’s a wonderland for those who have long-searched for their childhood snack and candy favorites.

If you’re looking for a bargain, Oakland Flea Market Mall is your best bet. With over 200 booths of merchandise, you can comb through hundreds of thousands of times from cookwares to beauty supplies. The market also is home to a pawn shop, a nails spa (so you can get a mani & pedi after your shopping spree), as well as a tattoo parlor and smoke shop. They sell everything from electronics to lingerie and even offer a computer repair service. Talk about your one-stop-shop.

New India Bazaar

Market, Bazaar, Store

Another ethnic food favorite, New India Bazaar is located in Pembroke Pines and features tasty food and spices that are a must-try for the culturally curious. The market carries canned and ready-to-eat food, and has a bread section with plenty of naan.

Marando Farms

Shop at Marando Farms for fresh produce grown in a pesticide-free farm. Located in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, they offer a farm-to-table experience, and shopping here means you’re helping the local food market (not to mention reducing energy consumption). The market sells raw cow’s milk, as well as yogurt and other dairy products. Their juice bar makes some deliciously healthy concoctions.
