Summer has been especially tough this year on our farmers, and our they need your support more than ever. Many of our Farmers have had to till under their crops due to excessive heat and too much rain at the wrong times. Come early August 24th, to grab your local fresh produce, please purchase some of their canned and dried goods and support our other artisan vendors who work hard each week to bring you fresh local healthy goodies.  Our market is also a great way to connect with our community. We truly have the best community in Houston.

Every purchase you make supports our farmers and local artisans helping them continue their essential work. Let’s show them we care!

Vendors Not Attending 8/3/24 
  • Rain Song Farm (back next Saturday)
  • Beautiful Bliss Jewelry
  • Theiss Family Farms  (local seasonal harvest pending)
  • Green Up Growers (back in September seasonal harvest pending)
Due to the recent hurricane, rain, and heat, our local farmers have faced considerable challenges with their harvests. We kindly request your patience and understanding as some may have limited offerings over the next few weeks as they recover and work even longer hours to bring us healthy local food options to our tables.

This is a perfect time to try new vegetables, canned goods, and different cuts of meat, and to show your appreciation for our farmers, who have faced numerous difficulties and hardships in recent years. Your support and warm smiles will mean the world to them.
