Fantastic place! I heard about Last Organic Outpost many times, but I finally made it out there on…read morea Saturday, around noon. I wasn't sure what to expect, so I brought along a shopping bag for food. When I arrived, only me and a small family were there. Farmer Joe walked around with us and picked out fresh vegetables for us! It got to a point where my bag was completely full and I had to decline any more. I got eggplant, collards, fresh herbs, swiss chard, broccoli, flowers, and a jar of raw honey. Farmer Joe was suuuuper nice. He explained to us how the farm operates and how they give food to the food bank across the street free of charge for neighborhood families. I won't reiterate information you can find on their website, but they are a great organization! When it was time to pay (cash only), the price was unbelievable for the amount of organic food I had received. (Both me, and the family, paid $5 to $10 extra as a donation to the farm- he said we didnt have to, but we insisted.) I will probably be coming here weekly to pick up greens instead of visiting the grocery store, even if it is out of the way. Not only are you able to get farm-fresh organic food, LITERALLY picked that day, for a low price, you are also helping a farm that gives a lot back to the community. I will also be back to volunteer! TL;DR: Great organic food for cheap. Bring cash when you go, and be sure to chip in some extra cash for donation.

I have visited this place a few times because of recommendations and I have to say that I really…read moreliked it. I was not expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised with my experience. They seem to have a pretty diverse offering of food and even allowed us to pick out our own produce. The staff was very knowledgeable on growing and taking care of plants and was extremely friendly with any questions we had. They are pretty kid friendly as well and we found that many other parents bring their kids to hang out as well. They were pretty relaxed and laid back and just let the kids run free and roam around the property as they pleased which was really nice. The crowd that was there was pretty diverse which was pretty cool. I am not sure if this is how the pricing always works but they gave us a standard size grocery bag and told us we could fill it with whatever we wanted for $5 which I thought was an unbelievable deal. They do everything local, sustainable and organic as well. Naturally I gravitated to the kale plants as its one of my favorite greens and its does not get much better than picking it fresh off the plant. My only concerning observation was that the place seemed kind of like an utopian dream. The location is pretty unique in that is it located in one of Houston's less glamorous neighborhoods which can be totally overlooked but I noticed that very little of the people from the community seemed to be attending and participating. This is concerning since having the community backing up the establishment could be really useful for expansion. But education folks on healthy eating habits is a challenge so no pun intended. Also, as much as I love the easy going type of environment that they create, a little bit more order in the way that they do business could be very useful for them and consumers. All that aside, I highly recommend this place, especially if you live by. There is a great crowd of people to interact with, experts on growing food, kid friendly and open minded environment that is very welcoming and they also do a lot of events regularly which are mostly free to attend. Make sure to check them out and support them because there are not a lot of places like this in Houston.

This is more of an outdoor food court than a "traditional" farmer's market. There are vendors who…read moresell pecans, salsas, probiotics, lavender bath products, soaps, succulents, etc... but there are far more vendors selling prepared foods. Afterall, this market is smackdab infront of Downtown Houston's City Hall and only up and running on Wednesdays 11am-2pm - LUNCH TIME! I mean, who really wants to buy a bag a produce and haul that back to the office? But samosas? Or puposas? Or a plate of soul food? Cold brew coffee or fresh juices? Hell yeah. That's a fantastic lunch. And all in an outdoor setting. This market features 30+ international food vendors from all over the world. Jerk chicken. Brazilian churrascaria. Dumplings. Tacos. Additionally, there are food trucks a'plenty. AND... there's live music. I'm lucky enough to work from home, but you downtown "deskies" can appreciate the fresh air, music, vitamin D and good eats.

Well at least I don't have to hunt for them and then find out that they didn't show up that day. They are all there on Wednesday. Its quite busy. Lots of people. Can be hard to find a seat at times. They mostly have food and maybe one or two stands of random things.

Located right next to TSU, I was unaware this even existed…read more I came here for "1 day Houston" on 4/29. This is a day where tons of community service projects happen all across Houston all on the same day. It was a very large turnout of church groups, students, companies, organizations, and those just wanting to give back. The event was fairly organized. One side was helping to pull up all the weeds in order to plant new foods. The other side was transporting lumbar to eventually be able to build a fence. It was really nice to give back. Im hoping marginalized groups are able to access these resources. I look forward to learning more and donating more of my time here.

I came out for a day of service with my fellow volunteers and left with as much kale, carrots, and leaf lettuce an empty nester can eat. The weekly farmers market provides fresh vegetables to the community on a donation basis (take what you need, pay what you can afford). The gardens are well planned, well executed, and a joy to work in.

I took a few pictures here and enjoyed my time exploring; they do have a few instagrammable spots! Do make sure to check on google if they're open! It only took me 15-20 minutes to go around the vendors and explore the area (was expecting it to be bigger) but they also have food stalls you can try if you want to spend more time here! There's also a parking lot!

I've been on a mission to check out the farmer's market scene in Houston and Blue Field Market is…read moreone of the first I've checked out. Located in EaDo, we found parking on the street. What's cool about Blue Field is that it's not your typical farmer's market. It's held at night every Saturday from 6-10 PM rather than your usual morning/afternoon. And they offer a lot more than vendors: games including cornhole, an outdoor bar serving beer/wine with a couple TVs, food trucks, and live music. Creates a nice experience. The downside is that there aren't a lot of vendors. Out of the few that were there, only a few were offering food. No produce at all. It's a small farmer's market so I would've liked a greater selection.

My biggest concern moving from Atlanta to Houston was leaving behind Atlanta's supportive black…read morecommunity & thriving businesses of color, both of which reminded me that although challenging, I could succeed as well. Growing up without seeing a single business owner of color, I planned to pass this beautiful gift on to my children...and y'all, I finally found it! I found the Houston equivalent! I've watched this market grow from a budding toddler to post pubescent adults, & while they now have a physical location in Pearland, for anyone who just read that sentence and thought "but that's too far", this review (of 1st Friday & second Saturday market held at the Buffalo Soldier Museum) is for you. I truly have a love affair with Blck Market Houston (and yes, they leave out the A). One of the largest meets of black owned businesses & entrepreneurs, they really puts the ease in supporting local black owned businesses. In the last few years, I've noticed a spike in vendor variety- artists, bakers, coffee cos, clothing, plants, alt milk, waist beads, "you name it"! Plus, there's often food trucks & live entertainment, so the whole event feels like a mini festival. They offer both indoor & outdoor vendors. My friend even held her book launch here (back in the before times). They've also recently pivoted to maintain a safe environment during "these uncertain times", so if you're truly looking to learn about/support small black businesses in the greater Houston area, they have you covered. Just make sure to get a ticket ahead of time.
