From what I understand this market has been happening for a couple of years. As far as farmers…read moremarkets go, this is a relatively small assembly of vendors, but they do have a really nice variety of items. 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.

I thought my farmers market was off the hook, until I saw New Braunfels Farmers Market. Y'all don't…read moreplay around. Wow! What an epic display of community and togetherness. This is more like a street party with food trucks, venders and artisans. They shut the streets down. There's a huge stage with a band. Food trucks line the streets. Another area is venders and produce, seafood, and even home made items. Restaurants open their doors, they even have a small table out on the sidewalk sampling drinks. YES, looks like you can walk around with a drink in hand. I saw people selling beer in copper mugs. White Claw booth. ZAO was giving away 12 ounce drinks as well. So impressed. Had a great time. I did pay $3.00 for parking. I'm sure there is free street parking. But since I don't know my way around. I just paid at the first lot of saw that wasn't full. Well worth $3.00. I think it was for 2 hours. Can totally see people spending their whole day here getting food, listening to the band enjoying the sunshine, as the rain storm we got. I'm from Austin, and seriously, I would drive down here and spend the day here. Epic time

Luckily, Gruene local marketplace was open for business while I was visiting the uptown section of…read moreGruene, TX. 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!

This one has Wonderful Farmers like the LADY FARMERS at Richardson's Farm who bring fresh meat, chicken, eggs & Chicken Livers. They raise their animals underfoot and don't supplement with nasty gmo feed. The chickens eat worms, bugs, grass, lol, just like BEFORE CORPORATE FARMING began. Whether you select Arugula (yes, with that lovely "bitter/hot" taste, figs picked the night before, or eggs taken from the chicks that morning, I promise you that your body will thank you! I am a Pescatarian for 30+ years, but every other month I get a container of Richardson Farm's Chicken Livers, and they are to die for! Tasty, fresh and nutritious too!

Mueller is further away, but I have all day to shop, and plan, and get my groceries for the week. Something about this location that just has an energy about it. I feel so much better walking around. The people, the venders, and the dogs. My gosh there are so many dogs. I'm a dog person, and they know it. I have dogs walking up to me. And of course I have to talk to them. Venders are great, you have such a variety of prepared food. Love the dumplings. But there is so much more. Veggies. Fruits, canned goods, baked goods, meats, cheese, eggs, pasta, raw milk. I mean it's just a lot of greatness. Love supporting famers and small businesses. Coming out in the community, and just feeling a connection. Literally recharges me. It's been a draining week, and the market was my therapy today.

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.

I discovered B5 Farms at the SFC Farmers Market at Sunset Valley yesterday and am so excited over…read moremy new babies that I lovingly purchased from Pamela. Their booth at the FM yesterday was only selling tomato plants no actual fruits but she told me that they sale to local restaurants and that Olivia's can not get enough of their Black Cherry for their salads - that was enough to sell me on one of those babies. I also purchased a Texas Wild which she described as putting out fruit all summer and even hard to kill in the greenhouse when they want them to stop putting out fruit. Pamela is very passionate about farming and explained that she did not even like tomatoes until her husband made her sit down and eat one of their family heirloom tomatoes. She tried hard to sell me on one of those but I know my backyard growing conditions and have never had success with large tomatoes so I stick with the Cherries. Pamela also gave me some great tips such as using hay or oak leaves as mulch and putting some tin foil around the bottom of plant to keep bugs off. They also set up a booth at the downtown FM and in addition to tomato plants they sale jalapeno, zucchini, nasturtium, oregano and chocolate mint plants all 2.00 each except tomatoes 3.00. They are also on Facebook if you want to see pics of their gorgeous farm!
