Blog – Austin Farmers’ Market

This is the new website for the now 6-year-old Austin Farmers’ Market. What you may not have known is that the Austin Farmers’ Market is very much thriving, vibrant and growing!

The farmers are corner to corner at the 4th and Guadalupe location downtown, along with multitudes of prepared foods and specialty foods. If you haven’t been for a while, you’ve been missing out on some “new” stuff, like certified organic eggs from Vital Farms, the excellent sprouts from Ottmers’ Family Farm, Oma’s and Opa’s Farm, and Winfield Farm. There’s also Thai Fresh (remember Thai Cooking with Jam–yep, same person), a meat rub from Cocoa Puro, San Miguel’s Seafood (fresh from the Gulf and only place in Austin!), Spring Orchids, new vegetable start plants from Betts Nursery, great jams/jellies, and much, much more!

Wednesday market at The Triangle is thriving too, with more than two dozen vendors even in the winter. Catch your meats, cheeses, veggies, and prepared foods here with no problem. Enjoy hot Texas Coffee Traders cocoa or coffee and sit back and listen to live music in the park.

EASY TO PARK – check out our traffic alert on the home page with a quick ‘look-see’ every week, but pretty much count on plenty of available parking in the State Parking Garage between 3rd and 4th streets on San Antonio, also within the top half of a block of the Classified Parking lot next to the market, and, on the free metered spots downtown on Saturdays.  On Wednesdays, there’s a 700-space parking garage right next to the market!
