What a beautiful weather week we have had! We are looking forward to a great market Saturday.  Atkinson Farms and Verdegreens will be back with lots of fall produce for you. We still desperately need rain as your yards and plants are probably screaming like mine but at least with the cooler weather things are looking up.

We are excited to announce Della Casa Pasta has opened their own specialty grocery store in Tomball off Huffsmith-Kohrville. It also means we have another successful local business outgrow Tomball Farmers Market. Della Casa Pasta started at Tomball Farmers Market in 2015.  I was lucky enough to be a vendor next to them for several years at TFM and a couple other markets as well. Luisa and her mom have worked so incredibly hard to grow their business into what it is today! 

​We are so proud of everything they have accomplished and look forward to their new journey.  Please visit their new store often to get your pasta and other wonderful offerings soon.  Here is a wonderful article and pictures from that article on Houston Food Finder. Della Casa Pasta on Houston Food Finder

October 12, 2024 Tomball Farmers Market Blog!  Where is all the produce and eggs??!!!

10/8/2024

Hey, folks we've gotten a lot of emails and messages wondering where all the produce and eggs are atm! 🤠We understand your concern and our farmers will still have limited farm fresh produce and eggs for the next couple of weeks so come early to get the best selection.  Their fall harvest is almost ready please be patient. 

Let's talk about the why for a minute.
All our farmers and ranchers have to grow/raise their products within 150 miles so they are truly local and they've really been through it with Mother Nature. She hasn't exactly been playing nice the last 2 years. I think someone needs to give her a snickers bar. HAHAHA

Every time they recover from the last weather event they turn around and are hit with some new weather event. They've also been hit with rising costs on everything from seeds and animal feed (which is 4 times the cost it was 2 years ago) to gas and things wearing out. So, whether it's been from freezes, flooding or long periods with no rain they have been hit hard and have less to offer the community. 

It's been a tough couple of years for farmers. All this has been exceptionally hard on produce. egg and milk production. And many are having to switch zones for what will grow with this new normal we are walking into. However, they are TRYING and working longer hours to bring you truly local produce and they need our support.


Kyle of Verdegreen's said, "I tell our customers this...If your plants are struggling and your grass is dead it's 10 times worse on us farmers. We plan for situations the best we can but when the temperatures and humidity kick in lettuce and hydroponic produce dies at the root!"
​Mike Atkinson of Atkinson Farms said, "When we should have been bringing in our Spring crops this year, we were out there tilling under 40 acres of farm land due to all the rain we got from Beryl because everything went to rot."

​
Sara of Three Sisters Farms said, "When it's too hot or too cold the chickens and will not lay eggs. When we are facing drought conditions they have less to grass, earthworms and bugs to eat and therefore produce less eggs. Instead, the chickens have to convert all their energy to stay alive." 

Thankfully, farmers are the most resilient bunch of people you will ever meet. And Houston is incredibly fortunate to have such a large farming community. It gives TFM the opportunity to bring the community truly healthy local options you can count on. It also gives the community more opportunities to pitch in to help our farmers when they need extra hands to recover.  Talk to one of our farmers about how you can help.

Because we have
multiple certifications as an all local farmers market, our farmers must truly bring what they grow/raise locally within 150 miles. This means YOU can count on our farmers never having produce, meat, mushrooms, olive oil or honey from another state or country. And Local is just healthier and better for your body.

After visiting our farmers market, enjoy and explore everything else Old Town Tomball has to offer. This time of year there is always something happening in Tomball, from the charming boutiques, antique shops, local mom and pop restaurants, and the two Tomball museums nearby. 🌈🍽️🚂 There are so many things to do in Tomball with your family and friends. We also have one of the best school systems in the state if you are considering moving to Tomball. You won't find a better community than Tomball.
