Support Local Farmers and Sustainable Foods at Austin Farmers’ Market

September 5, 2012 by

Support local farmers and small businesses while buying the freshest produce and gourmet foods at Austin Farmers’ Market. Opened in 2003, the Market has since become the place to go for sustainable food in Austin, with numerous vendors offering organic goods—many eagerly offering samples to try! Besides fresh foods, Austin Farmers Market holds a number of events and programs, from cooking classes by master chefs to seasonal festivals and celebrations. The markets also strive to environmentally conscious by placing compost bins for visitors to bring their trash from home, as well as water stations for filling up bottles with clean water for a few cents ($2 to start). Austin Farmers Maret is open year-round; for locations, days, and times, visit the Austin Farmers’ Market website at www.austinfarmersmarket.org.
