On top of that you're paying for what is probably better in terms of ingredients used as well as time put into making whatever food/item you're purchasing. Definitely worth checking out! I'd highly recommend giving Mum Foods BBQ a try!

It has been a few years since I visited this farmers market. It is terrific and great for families…read moreand pets strolling on the weekend. The market is generally located near the PetSmart parking lot, and across the street from Haverty's furniture. There is a lot of parking available, and it isn't on a too-busy street, yet convenient to major avenues nearby. Vendors range from fused glass jewelry and delicate pottery to honey and bee products, children's handmade clothing, paper works of art, ballcaps, bow ties and scarves for your stylish pets, Indian style bedspreads and tablecloths, and more. Check out the website for hours of operation and more.

The Brushy Creek Farmers Market is a new fledgling market in Round Rock that could use some…read moresupport. I rate this place a 3 because there is some work to be done to get this market ramped up and really stocked with goodies. I visited during the weekly Saturday 9 am to 1 pm hours to find a small handful of vendors. There were several arts and crafts stands, a masseuse, and a couple of jelly/preserves sellers. There were a few produce vendors, but selection was pretty limited. I did get some nice locally grown squash. I'm not sure how much the limited selection had to do with the horrific summer we've had or if it was the newness of the market. My favorite vendor was Richardson Farms. They were offering free range eggs, chicken, pork products (including fresh uncured bacon), and grass fed beef. The eggs and pork we bought were reasonably priced and freaking delicious. This isn't yet a major farmer's market, so some visitors might be a bit disappointed with the selection. It is my hope that this one will pick up momentum and draw more shoppers and vendors.

My own private farmers market....that's what this felt like. It's super small still and not too…read morecrowded and I had the opportunity to sample everything and to visit with all the cool vendors and their pooches. There was only about 9 vendors there but there was enough stuff to make a few meals all around. Fresh baked breads and organic pastas, fresh veggies such as squash, maters, taters, and onions, jellies, salsas, farm raised meats, and even cupcakes for dessert! Not to mention some jewelry, honey and pralines. Living out in the hinterlands of Cedar Park, I was super stoked to find out about this (thanks Chris S!). I haven't found any CSA's to deliver to my house, but I can now order from some of these folks online and then pick up on Saturdays here. And it beats the hell outta getting up early Saturdays and driving all the way to San Antonio (aka Sunset Valley). Richardson Farms provides grass fed beef and pork and chicken, and another stall had what's called "design your dine" with pre-frozen fresh organic dinners that you just thaw out and cook and they say each one is only about 500 calories. Came home with some zukes, some pasta, a coupla pork chops and some fanfreakintasticly fresh pico de gallo from Kala's Kuisine, which apparently has won 2 years in a row now at the Hot Sauce Festival (and I can see why). I would encourage all my fellow Northerners to check this out.....but I still wanna keep it my own private farmers market. Enigma.

What a cool 'hidden find' in the Leander area!…read more It's a bit of a misnomer to call this a 'flea market', but that's a minor point to quibble over. Rather, this is a collection of rather eclectic shops selling mostly used or refurbished items. These range from vintage glass and antique furniture all the way to collectible baseball cards. Everyone I spoke to at one of the stores was friendly and sometimes willing to negotiate a price on an item. I look askance at some of the reviews which claim 'I didn't get a deal'. You have access to the internet, after all. Even on your smart phone. You should be able to find out if the vintage item you're looking for hasn't been cheaply reproduced at Hobby Lobby, Cost Plus or Michael's. The facility still seems to be in development, so a couple notes for folks who may visit close to when I did, in September 2017. 1) The parking lot is a very rough gravel one. Drive slowly and walk carefully, there are ankle-turning rocks here if you wear heels. 2) One of the vendors was having serious issues taking credit cards, so having cash on hand might be a good idea. 3) If you check in on Yelp, there's a free drink offer available at the food trailer. However, there's no food trailer yet - just a well-run inside snack bar. They were kind enough to honor the offer for me, but do them a favor and wait until they get a vendor in before trying to use the coupon. In sum, a definite place to visit if the antique hunting bug strikes!

Echo what has been said before...CEDAR PARK!!! Lakeline Mall…read more.. Braved the visible haze of juniper pollen to visit the farmers market at Lakeline mall and all was good when I had an ample cup of Nita's hot chocolate and a tasty breakfast taco. Best hot chocolate that I've had, should have purchased a jar of fixins... I believe Nita melts chunks of Belgian chocolate and adds some white choc for sweetness and smoothing the edges. Took home some pork and green chile stew to consume on one of our upcoming chilly nights. I have made a similar veg version in the past and it's great on brown rice or for poaching an egg or two... Nita's version has tomatillo and poblanos... Got a bag of ginger snaps to have with afternoon tea... a good traditional g-snap anyway, I'm thrilled that Nita is doing the cooking for me
