SFC HAPPENINGS

 
Fresh & New at SFC Farmers' Markets
At the SFC Farmers’ Markets we pride ourselves on being more than just markets with veggies, fruits, and other produce varieties. A visit to an SFC Farmers’ Market means the chance to listen to live local music, taste delicious produce from regional farmers, and the opportunity to try on site prepared foods.

At SFC Farmers’ Market Downtown, a crowd favorite is Anjore. This “Born in India, Bred in Texas” vendor specializes in biscuit and naan breakfast dishes, using Indian cooking staples and other locally sourced ingredients.

Also on Saturday is SFC Farmers’ Market Sunset Valley; where you’ll find the same range of produce prepared foods as Downtown. Make sure to stop by and visit the Featured Vendor Richardson Farms. Richardson Farms sells a variety of meat products such as grass fed beef, free range whole chickens, hormone free pork, and fresh eggs! Read more »
