UM Green Market

UM Green Market comes from the same market operator whose president, Claire Tomlin, previously served as Operations Director at the Carter Presidential Center. In Miami Beach, that background connects this market to a longer practice of horticulture, event management, and public-facing market work shaped by The Market Company team. The organization’s roots in local market life also run through Claire Tomlin’s early selling years at the Lincoln Road Partnership Market and the revival work that followed in 1997. For shoppers, that gives UM Green Market a clear identity: a Miami Beach market tied to operators who have built and managed markets across South Florida rather than a one-off pop-up.

Why it matters locally

Miami Beach City management invited Claire Tomlin to bring a market back to life in 1997, and that effort became the Lincoln Road Farmers Market, described as a weekly Miami Beach institution. UM Green Market sits within that same local market lineage through The Market Company, the organization Claire founded in 1997 and still leads. The company’s work is also tied to Miami Beach institutions beyond weekly shopping: Don Tomlin serves as Treasurer of the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation, linking the market team to another civic organization in the city. Claire’s work around the Miami Beach Botanical Garden further places the company inside Miami Beach horticultural and revitalization efforts.

What you'll find there

The strongest through-line here is the operator’s market mix rather than a published vendor roster for UM Green Market itself. The Market Company describes weekly markets where residents and visitors explore offerings from multiple vendors, and its broader programming stretches beyond routine shopping into cultural initiatives.

• -Explore multiple vendors in a weekly market format shaped by The Market Company’s South Florida operations.
• -Find market offerings connected to the organization that also runs the Lincoln Road Farmers Market in Miami Beach.
• -Look for a market experience from a company that hosts markets across indoor regional malls, hospitals, colleges, and city halls in South Florida.

The same operator also fosters cultural programming such as Japan Week and Latin Week, showing that its markets can extend into themed public events as well as shopping.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest visit-planning detail available for UM Green Market. Restrooms are not listed for the market, and payment methods are not clearly stated, so this is not a market to approach assuming on-site facilities or a specific checkout option. The manager named for the market is Malgorzata Godlewska, who serves as Assistant Market Manager at The Market Company. Administrative and vendor coordination for the broader organization is handled by Evani Maass, The Market Company’s Vice President and Treasurer. If you know The Market Company from other South Florida settings, that context helps here too: the group has experience running markets in indoor regional malls, hospitals, colleges, and city halls, not only open-air sites.
