There are definitely some things you will find here that you will not find at your local supermarket. We purchased some farm fresh eggs that were laid the day before. We also picked up some fresh produce and there were also some interesting plants for sale. One vendor was there to sell their free range organic meats. If you find yourself coming to Elgin for some great barbecue on a Thursday, just come downtown by the tracks after 4 o'clock and you can catch these folks. The photographs below tell a better story.

Not to mention a fine variety of everything else, from cleaning supplies, to local meats, to spices, to, what's this, apricot paste? Fantastic. I was so delighted to find out about this place, and sorry it took so long to discover it. That said, in the midst of this pandemic, after months of sitting outside the chaos of the Bastrop HEB for its mediocre curbside offerings, this experience was like a vacation! We picked up lots of produce, but also tried the prepared meals. My husband had the Korean pulled pork with kimchi, which was fantastic, and I had the ravioli with pesto, pine nuts, and fresh local tomatoes. I'm not the biggest fan of pasta in general, but this was so very good. I can't wait for another, before tomato season is through. Thank you, Royal Tomato! The weight of this year's day to day got a little lighter.

And I got some ground lamb too from Hackamore Ranch. Finally got to drop off my produce food scraps too. My bag was over spilling with bananas, egg shells, pineapple skins, and avocado skins too.

I'm disappointed to be writing this, but I had an upsetting experience at the farmers market last…read moreSunday. Farmers markets are supposed to be welcoming, family-friendly spaces where local vendors, farmers, nonprofits, faith groups, and community members can come together safely and respectfully. Unfortunately, I witnessed something that made the environment feel anything but welcoming. There was a small religious group with a table at the market, and as someone passed by, they shouted offensive racial and religious slurs at the men working the table. It was completely uncalled for. Rather than engaging in any kind of respectful conversation, this person chose to be hateful and intimidating in a public community space. I understand that the organizers may not be able to identify or remove every person who behaves this way, but I do think the market should be more proactive about making its expectations clear. A farmers market should feel safe for everyone, including vendors and community organizations that may be more likely to face harassment. Clear signage, public reminders, or stronger policies against hate speech and intolerance would go a long way. I hope the organizers take this seriously and make it clear that racism, religious intolerance, and harassment are not acceptable at this market. The community deserves a space that truly feels supportive, inclusive, and safe for all.

Great spot to stroll through and perhaps pick up some homemade stuff, jewelry, handbags, etc. Tons of different vendors selling their goods. I'm sure they have something for everyone. As for me, I actually didn't buy anything. I was very selective in my purchases that day for some reason. I spent no more than 30 minutes walking through it. Please note this is not exactly a farmers market... I don't recall seeing any fresh fruits and vegetables or maybe there were some and I just didn't notice. Most of the vendors were selling non-food items. Do check for the days they are open. If you're looking for specialty items, this may be the spot for you! Happy Market Days!
