A trip to the farmers market provides a great opportunity for shoppers to pick up local foods that are in season – meaning they have lots of great flavor! Not only is there fresh produce, meat, dairy, and eggs, but some markets also have live music and fun activities for the whole family.
There are many different farmers markets to shop at in Central Texas. Edible Austin created this useful list to find a market near you. The best part is that the list is organized by day of the week.
Here are a few favorite finds from my visit to the market this weekend:
1. Carrots
2. Beets
3. Kale
4. Strawberries
5. Artichoke
6. Sweet Potatoes
7. Crafts – spoons for your herb garden. Read more about starting an herb garden here.
