We can't wait to celebrate your mom with you this weekend! We have so many choices for you to choose from for truly unique gifts and food for your mom! We will be open this Saturday from 9 to 1 PM. Come early for the best selection of locally grown produce. | And bring your cooler and pack your lawn chairs and come enjoy the City of Tomball's famous Rails and Tails event from 11 to 8 PM!

Did you know?? We have continued to grow over the last 14 years and this has allowed us the opportunity to continuously grow small farmers and local businesses in Houston and the surrounding areas. There was time when we had long waiting list to even get an interview to become a vendor at Tomball Farmers Market. Happily this is no longer the case in 75% of our categories. We do have small waits still for things like candles, body care products and baked goods. But that list is down to less than 20 entrepreneur's. We are excited that over the last 3 years we have drastically changed how we handle applicants to be able to help truly local businesses and farms grow. We've been lucky enough to foster this growth and help over 17 businesses grow into brick and mortar establishments across the greater Houston, TX area. We no longer have the long waiting lists to get into our market. Instead we incorporated Fill-In Vendors where we can rotate available booth spaces weekly allowing us the opportunity to grow more small businesses and to and to have a larger variety of vendors for you weekly at our market. | Being one of the largest and most successful truly local farmers markets in the state of Texas has opened up an entire new way for vendors to grow and succeed. As well as allowed us as a nonprofit to help other nonprofits, members of the community and hold educational booths to fulfill our mission to be a strong advocate for local farmers and small businesses. We truly love our local community and enjoy meeting and getting to know every vendor, patron and other like minded individuals that believe in that old town atmosphere. And teaching the next generation and the current generation how important using local resources is for not only our bodies but our environment. We are so honored that our vendors, community and especially our patrons trust us each week to bring them high quality fresh local foods, artisan crafts and a unique farmers market experience every week. Thanks for making us what we are today! |

This Saturday: April 9th, 2022 Fred Olivero (Olivero Farms) Memorial. Fred's family will be in his usual booth spot for vendors and patrons to come visit, share memories and pay our respects for one of our Founding Members of the Tomball Farmers Market. Fred and his wife Carol (who passed a few years ago) were also one of TFM's Founding Board Members & were beloved long time farmers with us. He will be missed greatly and we are extremely saddened by his loss. They both gave so much to our farmers market over the last 14 years and helped pave the way for the wonderful success our farmers market is today. |

It is with a very heavy heart that we share with you the passing of one of our longest Farmers and original board member here at Tomball Farmers Market. Fred Olivero of Olivero Farms.
His family will be in attendance on April 9th so that his patrons and our market family can pay their respects to his family. His family will have some of your favorite products Fred brought every weekend for you.
Our market and you our patrons were very near and dear to Fred and he will be immensely missed.
Below is from his obituary by his son Nicolas Olivero.

Below is from his obituary by his son Nicolas Olivero.
On Sunday morning, March 13th, my father, Fred, passed away.
Dad visited his farm on Thursday and while preparing his van for the farmers market on Sunday morning he became tired and sat down to rest; he passed away peacefully from heart failure.
Dad enjoyed puttering around his farm, growing olive trees, making olive oil & soaps, and being a staple at various farmers markets, including the Tomball Market, where he and my mom used to sell baked goods. Though he did not make it to the market that Sunday, I am glad I was able to to attend with him a few weeks earlier and I am very appreciative he got to visit the farm one last time doing what he loved. ....
.....We are planning a service to celebrate dad's life on Saturday April 9th, 2022; the family will also attend the Tomball Market one last time, set up his tent and give away his goods to anyone who may want to have something to remember him by.
Many people knew my dad (or Mr. O or the bear in the cave) and may want to come and pay their respects. I hope you can join us for one or both of these events. Here are the details:
Tomball Farmer's Market
205 W. Main St.
Tomball, TX
9am-1pm
Walden Yacht Club
13101 Melville Dr.
Montgomery, TX
4pm-8pm
I appreciate the condolences; I have now lost both of my parents, making me and my siblings orphans, and that is just about the saddest thing you can imagine.
We can't wait to serve you!

What a great weekend weatherwise we had this past Saturday. We are thankful for all the patrons who came out to shop and support local businesses.
This month our farmers have been working hard to prep their farms & gardens as their growth season begins.
We are really fortunate that we get three seasons overall here in the Houston area however with the colder temperatures, situations and tensions in the world the last two years our farmers are struggling. However, with their deep love for the land and farming they are always looking for ways to go more green and to bring healthy local alternatives to our tables. The soil, animals and bees need everyone's help to continue to produce healthy farm to table foods for our families.
