There is so much that goes on behind the scenes every week to make Tomball Farmers Market the success that it is and it's due in huge part to our partnerships within the community.
This week our Tomball Farmers Market was asked to speak at the Bringing Back Main Street Roundtable hosted by Houston-Galveston Area Council where City Leaders from across our state met to discuss how to revitalize Main Street areas. We were asked to talk about how our market has grown, the businesses it has helped and how having a truly local farmers market has impacted our beloved community and helped it to grow. Slide show pieces curtesy of our Board President Brandi McRill. Mayor Gretchen Fagan also presented on her food truck establishment and the changes they had to make within the city to make 403 EATS just down the street a reality. And Constance McDerby in the Woodlands with Food and Vine Time discussed how local foodie events can help revitalize Main Streets across our state. It was a wonderful discussion and we are really humbled that we got to be part of the conversation on how local farmers markets can add to small towns and help them grow in this world of big box stores around us. We are so proud to be a part of this community and excited to watch Tomball grow as a community. Have you ever wondered what our local farmers market looks like from the air? Our Tomball Police Department Aviation Unit took these photos for us a couple of months ago as they were flying over early one morning. Our little town is really something wonderful. I love how our community always comes together to support one another and that we work together to continue to grow our beautiful gem of a city. Thank you Tomball PD for taking these photos for us and thank you for all you do to protect and serve our city. Tomball Farmers Market Appreciates you! There are so many great projects that the City of Tomball, Precinct 4 Community Assistance Department, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension & the Greater Tomball Area Chamber of Commerce have been working on to grow our city. It's a really great time to be live in and be a part of Tomball, TX! Did you know we have a Facebook online page where you can directly interact with our vendors and other patrons?
