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!
