Seeking fresh, local food near Lamar Union? One place to find it might be the Barton Creek Farmers Market. Well, two places: the market now offers two different locations in South Austin, one happening on Saturdays and one on Sundays throughout the year. The result is two opportunities to find fresh fruits and vegetables each weekend.
On Saturdays, the Barton Creek Farmers Market takes place from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the Barton Creek Square Mall, located at the intersection of Mopac and Loop 360. On Sundays, the market happens at 2323 South Lamar from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. At each market, visitors will find free-range meats, artisan pickles, fresh herbs, flowers, vegetables, eggs, cheeses, and more, all of which is locally-sourced. Vendors serving kombucha, breakfast tacos, granola, tamales, and other prepared foods also typically make an appearance.
The Barton Creek Farmers Markets also frequently hosts events like live music. This Saturday, April 11, for instance, the market welcomes musicians playing bluegrass, children's songs, and country and western music. You can learn more about upcoming events by visiting the Barton Creek Farmers Market website.
