I was looking for free range eggs & read reviews from this farmer?s market. I have gone to this market several times and I found it very limited. But when someone wrote a review saying this they were attacked. Maybe more effort should be put into making this market better & less effort in attacking honest reviewers. I love the natural store nearby & buy from there frequently.

This is a great market to sell at. There are no fees, and the vendors do not need to pay to the organizer. All the products must be natural or organic, but they do not require certification, because they realize how silly those standards can be. There are some great farmers that come, but if you want veggies, come early. They usually sell out by noon, and then leave.

The meat vendors are great. Locally raised grass fed beef is the best. The roast and hamburger meat are so lean! The steaks melt in your mouth, and the chicken and pork are great, too. The bacon is worth the trip out there. Fresh eggs laid locally and recently.

Annie B's Homemade soaps are wonderful and the plants that Bill sells are the best that I have seen anywhere, and he can get you most anything if he doesn't have it with him. He has great compost tea for your own gardening needs. He is a certified master gardener and will help you with any questions or problems you might have.

If you are thinking of selling products at a farmer's market in Houston, please consider selling at this market. They are open to new vendors and would love to see this market grow and thrive. Just remember--natural and or organic.

Hi, I'm a beginner-level beekeeper, and was wondering how exactly I get my product up there to sell. I can literally just bring it with me? I haven't gotten my queens yet, but I would like to be prepared in advance. Thank you, Devon Thompson

The actual farmer's market fluctuates, but regardless, you do have to get there early or you'll miss out on the good stuff! I recommend visiting the English bakers (delicious!), the man that sells the herbs, and the organic clothing section. The organic clothing is super affordable & customer service is excellent. If you happen to miss out because you didn't make it early, I encourage you to visit Erma's Nutrition Center where the market is located. They sell an assortment of organic vegetables, local honey at the best price I've found anywhere, grassfed beef, and a host of other things.

Produce choices are exteemly limited and over priced. Only one live plant vendor on site, and the quality of plants appear below average and also limited in selection. Clothing items look like garage sale stuff. The English baker and the Soap lady are the two most interesting things to see.

It will take you all of 5 minutes to go through this tiny thing. Not much to look at. Across the steet from NASA hidden in front of a run down looking shopping center.

I am not sure what you expect, I have gone to big and small markets, this one is small but good...If your new to organic shopping maybe start at whole foods, not really that great but it looks good. If you grow your own you will see the difference, they don't always look polished and large but the are not full of GMO's and lots of other stuff. veggies are very good there.

To not much to see.Charlie Hester Right. You must of had a silver spoon when you were born.My kids were little I help out on a small farm pick peas,Corn them pull the father of the corn up for feed.For a busle of peas a dinner out of the field and very little money ,to be brought 100 miles to Houston to sell. Charlie is right you go to meet and learn from them. That's called ideas . I see this on Yahoo Green& I don't thing gone green is your cup of tea.They put there hart and sole in to what they do to what they have learn from family and friends. SORRY That's how it is. May be you should try Kroger store.That were you can find high prices and picked to soon veg,& filled with who knows what.Go to one of those consignment shops they ask a big price. I am with you Charlie. I can't wait to cheek it out sounds great

This farmers market is for those who what fresh, local, organic and/or sustainable farm products. For a visit to slick corporate modern looking building, one could consider Whole Foods. For over fertilized great looking non native plants one could consider, Home Depot. If organic clothing is not to ones liking maybe consider the import fabric made by slave labor using dyes and chemicals that pollute the environment. For those who want more than 5 minutes of shopping might consider going to local mall, search for parking for 10 minutes walk to main entrance and spend your afternoon with the other masses. For those who support local family owned businesses come to the farmers market and meet the people who grow, make or raise what you are buying.

This is a small but great little market! The produce varies from season to season but all of it is very fresh. Get there early before the produce runs out! There is a fabulous English baker there with all organic goodies and even organic clothes for amazing prices!
