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!

City of Tomball Depot
Rails and Tails Event
from 11 to 8 PM

​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:

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.
