When I think about it there is a lot that goes on here on this little island. We have had movies made here among other things. This Island has seen quite a few famous people from those in the past to present day.

Don’t get confused  the city of Fernandina Beach is a part of Amelia Island and the Island is not that big at all.

come out and mingle with local farmers, business owners and the public as you wander through a  selection of farm direct fruits and vegetables harvested just before Market day, as well as a variety of organic products, and specialty foods. You’ll also discover gourmet baked goods from crusty breads to delectable desserts, and prepared foods such as jellies, relishes and marinades. The Market is also the perfect location to choose from a wide variety of specialty tropical plants and landscaping plants, including orchids, herbs, and garden flowers.

Go to the Fernandina Farmer’s Market Website and get further details.

Also of interest is a local blog on growing your own foods. It features growing vegetables, fruits, herbs and even more exotic home grown edibles like shiitake mushrooms! Because this is a natural approach to growing your own foods, there are sections of composting, vermiculture (worm composting), and natural approaches to fertilizers and insect pest control in your garden.
