Houston Retail Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Since it isnt in the heights, not sure where to put it, but good to see it also be on an evening (I have a hard time waking up before noon on sundays)News from the food and drink front Fans of locally grown fresh produce will no longer be relegated to Saturday morning trips to the Houston Farmers Market in the Heights. The market recently expanded to a second day on Tuesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at 2353 Rice Blvd. in the parking lot of Christ the King Lutheran Church. The Tuesday evening operation will have many of the same vendors as the Saturday market located behind the Onion Creek Coffee House between Studewood and Heights Boulevard. The Saturday market runs from 8 a.m. to noon. The Houston Farmers Market is a growers-only market founded last May by Susan Cobb and Portia Leyendecker. Growers-only means that the produce was grown, picked and sold by the same person -- making it the city's only state-certified market. But the name may be misleading because produce is only part of the sales mix. Chocolates, hand-made soaps, bread and flowers are all available to shoppers.

dbigtex56 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 And let's not forget the huge Farmers' Market on Airline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeightsGuy Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I didn't know about that one, it will be good to have a weekday one. Also, there's a fourth market set to start, and maybe the largest, from the Urban Harvest folks......http://www.urbanharvest.org/farmmarket/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeightsGuy Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I don't know if you can count the Airline market as a true Farmer's Market anymore. Most of the produce there is bought at auction and sold in the stalls, and is the same stuff you get at any grocery store.Still, I get most of my produce there and at Canino's.
