On the first Saturday of every month, the charming grounds of the Historic Lawton House in Oviedo come alive with the sounds, smells, and smiles of a beloved community tradition: the Oviedo Farmers Market. Now approaching its 15th anniversary in 2026, this volunteer-led market has become much more than a shopping event—it’s a living expression of Oviedo’s heart and heritage.
Where History Meets Local Flavor
Operated entirely by the dedicated volunteers of the Oviedo Historical Society, the market transforms the Lawton House into a bustling space where fresh produce, handmade goods, and neighborly conversation flow freely. The scenic backdrop of this historic home connects residents to the area’s roots while celebrating today’s makers, growers, and creators.
Each month, colorful vendor booths line the grounds with offerings like just-picked fruits and vegetables, homemade jams, fresh-baked pastries, artisan soaps, hand-poured candles, and even plants and herbs for your garden or kitchen.
