FORT MYERS, Fla.–In 1952, Christine and R.V. Green had a vision of serving a home-cooked meal to farmers who delivered produce to the farmers’ market before returning to their inland Florida homes. Now, 70 years later, their dream lives on through Betsy Barnwell and her family.
On April 30, Farmers Market, the oldest restaurant in Fort Myers, will celebrate its 70th anniversary with an afternoon of family fun to thank the community that has supported them over the years, and especially through the pandemic.
