Fresh bunches of emerald kale. Crisp turnips. Cream-colored heads of just-plucked cauliflower. These are just a handful of the fresh veggies you can expect to see at Springdale Farm Market, a farm stand that pops up every Wednesday and Saturday morning about 2.5 miles from Elan East.
Owners Glenn and Paula first opened the farm stand in 1992 in an effort to bring fresh, local produce to people living in the city. They believed everyone deserved access to healthy food, whether they could make it beyond the city limits or not. Today they continue to keep East Austin in colorful veggies, and not just individual shoppers. They also supply local eateries. Plus, Springdale Farm Market plays host to a handful of artisan prepared foods including Confituras jams and jellies, honey from the Austin Honey Company, and White Label Hot Sauce.
