Waco Downtown Farmers Market
By: E. Young
(Sep 23, 2012)
Having recently moved to Waco, I went to the farmers market expectantly, and was sadly disappointed. People in town had told me that this was the place to find organic vegetables. There was only one vendor with organic veggies. I heard various responses from hesitant "no, we are not organic" to "we do not want the government involved." As a consumer, I have no other way to ensure that what I am paying a premium for is as pesticide, herbicide, etc. free as I can get my hands on. I was sad to see that while there is plenty of socializing--but unfortunately I cannot feed it to my family--it was seriously deficient in organic food. Even the vendor who told me that his veggies were organic did not have anything posted to that effect, making me seriously doubt his integrity. Again, I cannot express my disappointment that people in Waco are not provided with the healthiest options. Therefore, I did not return.
