THIS WEEKEND AT THE MARKETS
Highlights, Vendors, Events and more. Downtown and Sunset Valley - Sat, Jan. 18 |
| |
Downtown: Head out this weekend to greet our newest farmer, Becky Hume, of VRDNT Farms! She will be there with her signature smile and vividly purple collard greens, glowing cheddar cauliflower, and flowing fennel fronds! While you are here head down the row and welcome Germaine of Munkebo Farm back to the fold. She will have delicate greens, sour oranges, and homemade fruit and meat pies for you to enjoy.
Sunset Valley: Hairston Creek Farm makes a triumphant return to the market this January with savory green onions, baby Harukei turnips, radishes, tat soi, and spicy greens mixes. Also returning are our friends from Flintrock Hill Farm - check out their European seedless cucumbers, vine ripe tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli and fresh chicken eggs.
TreeFolks will also be giving away 500 free trees to Austin Residents and Austin Energy Electricity customers through the NeighborWoods program. Bring a Photo I.D, Austin Energy Electricity Bill, or Austin Library Card as proof of residency, and pick your free native tree.
