The market itself is intimate and easy to navigate with about 20 vendors. Pecans, produce, mushrooms, hummus, samosas, seasonal veggies, gluten free tamales, wild caught shrimp, sweet potato donuts, home roast coffee, jewelry, fragrance, juice, and pet treats were a few items that came to mind in remembering the market. They do have a bit of everything with few duplicates! The wild caught shrimp, mushrooms and burbz coffee were truly stand out for me, but the real treat, was that the few vendors I talked to really knew their stuff. If you're in the area, this market is worth a visit.

Wonderful variety of farmers, bakers, and artisan makers -- plus food vendors serving tamales and other multicultural favorites. Many people make the mistake of thinking a farmers market works like a grocery store. It doesn't. Once a vendor sells out, that's it -- there's no back room to restock. It opens at 8 am, so come early if you can.

All of the vendors were nice and most were eager to give samples.

Really good stuff too. There was also a jelly jam booth that had some great sounding combinations (like whisky). Market is closing in November but will be back for a Dec 4 holiday one.

Instead, you have to sign up in person (given very little notice), pay with cash before receiving a hand-written receipt, and have your info sheet added to a giant, messy appearing binder. This organizational method has routinely caused many issues, including double booking same-type vendors and losing track of cancellations/communication with vendors. We have attended 14 of the last 15 Katy Market Days as a well-loved vendor of fresh-squeezed lemonade, kettle corn, and shaved ice. Our first 6 or so events with Katy Market Days ran smooth with very little interaction with Betsy and Harry Proctor, the owners of The Limited Edition Art and Antiques and coordinators of Katy Market Day. As the months progressed, more issues appeared, including multiple lemonade, kettle corn, and shaved iced vendors attending the market, despite reassurance this wouldn't happen. We were always met with excuses such as, "a new girl let the other vendors book". The market this past Saturday started with a duplicate shaved ice truck parked directly across from our booth. Harry, Betsy's husband, handled the situation with respect and professionalism. He apologized for the double booking and offered a refund for this month's market. His attitude and demeanor was much appreciated in the midst of a frustrating situation for both vendors. Shortly after, a large, white food truck pulled directly in front of our booth and parked, hiding us from view of customers. My husband asked Betsy if the truck was going to stay, as it was an unusual spot and there was plenty of other options. My husband walked back to our booth and Betsy chased him down and began YELLING that the "truck is not moving" and we are "more trouble than we're worth". This outburst made the vendors surrounding us and the customers in my line visibly uncomfortable. Unfortunately, this display was not out of character for Betsy as we've witnessed numerous verbal disputes and disproportionate negative reactions toward other vendors over the course of our time. We've seen Betsy run after and scream at another vendor leaving the event early. Betsy routinely speaks abruptly and disrespectful toward vendors while signing up. In our early days of attending KMD, she even refused to let me and my young son use the restroom in her store while I was heavily pregnant and in dire need. Sometimes making an exception to a rule is necessary and compassionate. You'll hear numerous similar stories from most every vendor. Katy Market Day has the potential to be an excellent monthly event for the community but sadly falls short due to ineffective, unprofessional, and callous management.

Unintentionally, I drove in this direction then noticed this gem so I decided to stop here bc it…read moresaid farmers market and I really want to indulge in some fresh fruit. There wasn't much fruit to be desired but bc My second reason for stopping was due to this being an African market I wanted to support the business. I was not disappointed as I had no expectations! They offer an array of traditional African ingredients and spices. Pretend You just deplaned into the land of Yoruba. DO NOT expect to walk in to an HEB vibe. It is a cultured environment and one should respect it as such. The lady at the register greeted Us with a smile and made sure assistance was not needed while shopping. You can find the following from what My memory serves Me. * a small produce section with vegetables * a freezer with beau coup meat & fish * a meat department with a very friendly gentlemen willing to help with fresh selections of meat & fish *a health and beauty counter *a kitchen with hot food - Yum! *a warmer at the entrance with prepared hot food I had just read about Kuli a few days ago so the Universe aligned this trip perfectly. I found a snack made of kuli - (groundnut) with honey, ginger, and pepper. I also tried the bread that's in the warmer "self-serve" near the entrance and its soooooo good! It's like a sweet dough bread / roll $.50. The boys also enjoyed it. We also had the fried tilapia - really tasty and fresh. It is the steak with bones so eat with caution. It was served with a traditional red sauce and the spice level was definitely 4/5. Dee-lish! They also sold plantain 4 slices for $1. I tried those and they were cooked well. Not too soft, not too burnt! It's obvious the market is still under construction so be patient! It's safe to maneuver but there are items still being placed on shelves and some prices are missing. Upon checkout each person received a loaf of Agege Nigerian bread - soft, fluffy, and sweet. I should have asked why but I said thank You as I knew it was something done as a way of them saying thank you and could have been extra inventory or promotion as this is a new location. It looked too delicious to turn down LoL. I'll post photos during My next visit! Support this market if You are near the area looking for a flavorful lunch or looking for traditional African ingredients!

Community Supported Agriculture ...By getting a subscription, you're supporting small, local, organic farms; and you reap the benefits of getting fresh, seasonal veggies and probiotics. Local dirt is good for ya! I pick up my weekly share at Eastside Farmers Market each Saturday. An easy ritual that gets me out of bed and meal prepping for the week by Saturday afternoon (or sometimes Sunday). My sister gets her share out in Katy. Again, multiple pickup locations. About your membership: :: You can share with a friend, which is exactly what I do. At $30 week ($15/person with my buddy) we both get more than enough fresh and seasonal veggies for the week. :: The longer you subscribe, the better the discount you get. :: They let you swap out veggies for others when you pick up your box, in the case you're not feelin' a certain veggie. :: Need to skip a week due to travels or whatever life throws your way? They make it easy to skip a week (there are limits to how many times you can do that.) The farm itself is 288 acres of all sorts of seasonal veggies and herbs. before each week's pickup, members get an email with a photo and list of veggies for the week, along with storage/preservation tips and shared recipes. I've had my membership for 3+ months, and since then I've turned my kitchen into somewhat of a culinary lab. I've made carrot top pesto with my leftover carrot tops, kale chips. pickled watermelon radish, whipped kohlrabi.... I had NO idea what kohlrabi was before LOAM, and now I notice it on restaurant menus and even iin-the-know food trucks. It's amazing how much LOAM has opened me up to not only trying new vegetables, but cooking them. It's not too scary thanks to Pinterest. LOAM also has farm events for members. I wasn't a member back during Thanksgiving, but I saw on their website they had a day of green bean picking for families - what a fun way to educate the kiddos where their food comes and excite them about vegetables and cooking. Love ya, LOAM.

Cool weather, off and on rain, heavy mud stuck to the soles of our feet, grasshoppers and the smells of a farm here on Richmond, Texas. I believe they said it was 288 acres. It used to be prison land but was sold. It's adjacent to a prison. The prison still grows corn. Apparently the prison grew their own produce. They were going to sell some of the land for development I was told. The land wasn't able to be developed. This farm was able to get a lot of acres and farm it. This farm grows radishes, wasabina, cilantro, etc. They sell their produce at Farmers Markets in And around Houston such as the Urban Harvest (which I frequent) It was a great day picking Okra. The farm dog Nikita is about 13 years old, friendly and full of life. They offer memberships. Learn more about Loam in their own words by checking out their website.
