Our History

.In August 1999 Sonny Griffeth, owner of "Griffeth Tools", a tool vendor in the market who was doing business there and knew the potential of the Flea Market, decided to buy it. .That's when "McCormack's Flea Market" was renamed "Chiefland Farmers Flea Market". Sonny has devoted himself to an aggressive clean up, a more uniform rental policy and a strong commitment to advertising.

In April 2000 Plans started to take shape for an outdoor Flea Market that many people where requesting. If you visit today you will find a gently rolling red brick path with gardens, water pouring from old hand pumps, and fountains all nestled under large Live Oak Trees. There are 30 booths in this area, Dealers seem to like it and the public loves it.

In December 2002 we rented and had painted our first Bill Board with an emmediate responce.

On Feb. 11, 2002 Sonny was able to buy 1.7 acres on Highway 19/27 which is the major thrufare for the area and should give us tremdous visability and additional parking. Also on March 12, 2002 we recieved a permit from the City of Chiefland to erect a new sign on the new property.

April 2004 we opened a 21 site RV park each pedestal has 20-30-50 amp service,water telephone and cableTV with 360 degree night light for late comers.

One of the things Sonny is most proud of is the ability of the Chiefland Farmers Flea Market to supports youth through sports and community involvement.

The Chiefland Farmers Flea Market is Owned operated and maintained buy the Dealers. Sonny (owner) sells New Tools. Lora (manager) sells nick nacks and dolls. Jerry (grounds and security) sell Flags, Belt Buckles and Jewlery.
