Why shopping local Farmers Markets is Important

Local is Fresher: Grocery store produce come from all over the country and world! Our farmers offer produce that is fresh-picked, sometimes the very same day.
More Nutritious: Our Local Produce is typically sustainably grown and more nutrient-dense. The produce is packed with nutrients, not chemicals as most of our farmers choose to grow their crops in ways that give back to the soil instead of depleting it.
Supports Local Economy: Supporting your local farmers market also supports your local economy and local family farms that have been in Texas for generations. Buying from local farmers and local vendors helps to ensure that they will remain in business for the long term.
Conservation: With the cost of everything increasing at the grocery and at the gas pump by purchasing directly from local farmers and local vendors, you’ll be helping to conserve fuel, and are helping farmers continue to grow and protect our environment.
Connecting with your food: You can even visit our local farms and see their practices in person. This helps to develop a relationship between the farmer and the consumer.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

We are so excited that our Dunk Tank event is finally here! Last year it was so much fun dunking dad's, and Tomball Fire & Police officers. My favorite line from one of the officers last year was, "You don't have to do this kid! We can be friends just miss! (No kid misses!)

Get cooled off in the dunk tank and help us raise money for our Community Garden projects and for the City of Tomball's Shop with a Local Hero Event at Christmas.

Come out and shop local for something special for your Father's Day Celebration! It was a great year for our local produce farmers and they have a lot to offer you this weekend.
We have you covered from local peaches and watermelon from Theiss Farms, Gundermann Farms and Atkinson Farms! Three Sisters Farms, Wagyuru Beef and Katerra Exotic Meats have all your local cuts of meat, chicken, pork, bison and more this weekend!

Looking for inexpensive ways to entertain your kiddos this summer? The City of Tomball can help!

The 2nd Saturday is movie night at the Tomball Depot.

We are Open ALL YEAR from 9 to 1 even in Summer!!
In years past our Summer Hours were reduced and we were only open for 3 hours. However, as we have grown we took surveys to see what you and our vendors preferred. So you have more time to shop every weekend.

This Saturday looks to be another hot and beautiful opportunity to enjoy all our local farmer market & all Old Town Tomball has to offer.

We always have ice cold water for a donation at the information booth year round. Funds raised go towards our community garden projects, the kids play area & special events.

We are grateful that you can bring your furbaby to our market. Help us keep this tradition alive by picking up after your pets & making sure your pets are leashed at all times.
If you forget to bring your "Oooops" bags that's okay! We have some at the information booth and are happy to give them to you so you can clean up after your furbaby.

Please help us keep you and our vendors safe by shopping after the barricades go up at 8:30 AM. We are a large market and need time to get set up for you safely in the AM.

2nd Annual TFM DUNK TANK Fundraising Event
June 18th Father’s Day weekend!

We are raising funds for our community gardens projects & to help the City of Tomball's raise money for their Annual Shop with a Hero Event to help our under served youth.

You can get cooled off by getting dunked or dunking your favorite local hero for $5 dollars a dunk (4 shots per dunk).

We will give out trophies this year:
Most dunked Dad
Most Dunked Department
Most Dunked Hero
High and Dry Hero (least dunked officer or fire fighter!!).

There is a rumor our new Mayor Lori Klein Quinn may even come get dunked.
This was a great hit last year and I hope it will be even better this year!
