Olive to see you smile at our picnic. If you’re planning a picnic in one of our picturesque parks, please peruse no further. We put together a list of items to help you pack the perfect Tampa Bay-sourced picnic.
Cuban bread | La Segunda
Here in Tampa Bay, freshly-baked Cuban bread is a must. Whether you turn it into a sandwich or just bring it to munch on, this bread would be a crowd favorite at any picnic.
Cheese | Meacham Urban Farm
Cheese made right here in the Sunshine State? Yes, please cheese. Choose from a wide variety + grab some local honey, sourdough, or veggies while you’re at it.
Meats | Mazzaro’s Italian Market
The butcher counter at this longtime St. Pete staple is legendary for its salami, steaks, and sandwich selection. Pro tip: You can also pick up freshly-baked desserts and tons of other Italian treats.
Fruit | Tampa Bay Farmers’ Markets
Filled to the brim with fresh, seasonal fruit, you can also pick up local cheese, dairy products, and fresh flowers at one of these local markets.
Snacks | Sunshine City Popcorn
Do you prefer sweet, savory, or both? Luckily, at Sunshine City Popcorn Co. you can have it all. City Editor Bailey adores the Tampa Bay Trio Flavored Popcorn.
Juice | Xtreme Juice
If you want something tasty to sip on that’s non-alcoholic, grab a freshly-pressed juice from this South Tampa gem. We recommend the Xtreme Splash Juice made with carrot, orange, and apple.
Games | Critical Hit Games
After you’ve finished dining, you’ll want something fun to do. Pick up a card or board game from this local game shop.
If you read this list and are thinking, “I want to go on a picnic right now, but I don’t have a picnic basket,” we thought of that too. Although something from Amazon isn’t exactly local, we couldn’t resist how cute this picnic kit was.
