September 30, 2023 Tomball Farmers Market & Farm Bill Community Help!

9/21/2023

Comments

 

TFM is Open Every Saturday from 9 to 1 Year round!
Sept 23, 2023 News

We are so grateful for the little bit of rain we got this week. Our farmers have really struggled this season with the drought and the subsequent rising costs to keep their livestock and farms alive. Many of our farmers rely on wells on their properties to sustain their farms and ranches in these conditions.  Proposition 1, The Right to Farm and Ranch in Texas is a bill every community in Texas needs to vote in favor of in November to protect our farmers ability to bring us the highest quality of food and protect their love of nurturing this Texas land we love!

This bill is OUR once in a generation opportunity to protect our local farmers and ranchers ability to provide our community and our future generations with healthy food options through their sustainable farming practices, protecting our water supply, local crops from invasive species pests and diseases and our other natural resources. If this bill fails it WILL severely cripple our Texas farms, ranches and local natural resources for generations to come. 

But what does this mean for our community and why is this bill SO VITAL?  
This bill underscores the critical and invaluable contribution our local farmers make to our state's economy, our food security and protecting our nutrient rich soil. By voting in favor of Prop 1, communities can ensure that farmers have the legal protections necessary to sustain their livelihoods and the importance of them being able to protect our local ecosystem through sustainable farming practices.

Voting in favor of this proposition is a powerful way for communities to stand by their farmers and ensure a bright future for agriculture in the Lone Star State. Please check out the pamphlets below and learn more how you can help protect our farming community.

TFM was fortunate to have two of alumni vendors donate desserts to our Inaugural Farm-to-Table Brunch fundraiser this past Sunday. One of these vendors was Bexar BBQ who were vendors with Tomball Farmers Market from March 2016 - 2020. In 2019 they outgrew us and were able to transition into a brick and mortar building on business 249, at 28301 TX-249 #800, Tomball, TX 77375. They continue to be an integral part of our Tomball community.

One of the things that sets them apart from Houston's other BBQ restaurants is that Bexar BBQ personally raises their quality beef in Anderson, Tx.  This gives customers a very customizable experience from start to finish. Not only do they create fantastic mouth watering BBQ, customers can even purchase sides of beef which ensures an even closer personal ties to the animals and their customers. 

They offer eat in dinner options, can cater your events and even turn their restaurant into a dancehall monthly.  Everything is made in house including their desserts.  Our personal favorite is the pecan pie. It just melts in your mouth!
