One of the most encouraging trends in American food consumption is the transition from factory-farmed fruits, vegetables and meats to locally grown products. Farmer’s markets around the country have given producers a chance to present their products to excited eaters for decades, and they’re starting to become major keystones of grocery shopping. The Austin’s Farmer’s Market reflects the interests and values of this progressive enclave in the middle of the state, with organic vegetables, humanely raised meats, and a wide variety of ethnic prepared foods. Regulars rave about the fantastic coffee—at two bucks a cup with a free refill, it’ll keep you alert as you shop for everything you need. Some complain that certain goods sell out early, so show up at sunrise to make sure you get everything checked off your list. Best of all is the ambience—everyone is happy, laid back, and celebrating the joys of good food in a great city.
