Kristen, The Harker Heights Farmers Market prides itself on offering the community local produce. However, on occasion when a certain product is not available or in season in the state of Texas we will let vendors sell out of state products. The vendors are mandated to advertise that their produce is from another state to reduce confusion and to not false advertise ourselves. We accept vendors that grow their own produce and those who are part of a co-op. Therefore, it is possible that the new grape tomatoes came from a co-op. I apologize that your produce was not to satisfaction a few days after purchase. I strongly believe that all vendors bring and want to bring quality products to our Market. Old or moldy produce is to no benefit of anyone. I do hope you give us another chance in our 2013 season. In addition, I welcome any suggestions on how we can make our Farmers Market better. Regards, Heather Cox Market Coordinator

You should try the Belton Market once a month. It is amazing and all of the produce, fruit, and homemade good are amazing! Some of the best cantaloupe I've ever had in my life! The tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, and squash I would highly reccomend also. I went for my first time last month. I am definitely going again & this time early and taking more money to stock up. Check it out!
