?Fort Myers & Sanibel: So Many Farmers’ Markets, So Little Time

If you find yourself in a suite on your next Fort Myers and Sanibel vacation, you should definitely consider taking advantage of the area’s fabulous array of Farmers’ Markets.

After all, what could be better at the end of a sun-kissed day spent pottering around the market meeting the local producers, than retreating to your suite’s kitchen - glass of wine in hand - and preparing a truly delicious meal from some truly local produce?
