Market Buzz
March 20, 2004
Some of our best advocates are the people who come down to the Market to shop, and, they happen to be writers as well! The Austin Chronicle's critics in the Best of Austin '03 issue September 26th awarded the Austin Farmers' Market downtown with the Best Grocery Store Alternative! Here's what they said, "'El Campo in Su Ciudad!' 'Honk if You're Corny!' 'Okra, Alright!' 'Nice Melons!' These are just a few of the catchy bumper stickers you might notice driving away from the recently founded Austin Farmers' Market downtown. This event features farm-fresh and organic vegetables, all-natural meat, homemade salsas, local honey, fresh pastries, and even chef demonstrations. However, the fun doesn't stop with the food. Beautiful flowers, herbs, and other plants can also be found, along with local artisans selling their wares. All the while, live music played by local musicians can be see and heard as the shopping continues. A perfect way to start your Saturday!"
