Meet the Farmers
June 4, 2005
Kevin Ottmers with daughter Heather and his fabulous squash blossoms from last year--don't worry, they'll be here soon as well in 2005.
Look under Fresh and New to find weekly updates for who is coming and who is not.
Here are the following farmers and growers represented at the market on regular Saturdays this June: Animal Farm, Arnosky Family Farm (Texas Specialty Cut Flowers), Bee Creek Farm, Bikkurim Farm, Bradshaw Farm, Caskey Orchards, Davis Orchards, Estrada Farm, Farmer Russell's Beef, Harvest Time Farm, Home Sweet Farm, Innerarity Farm, Kaune Line Farm, Kurten Produce, La Salle Shrimp Co., Naegelin Farm, Oasis Gardens, Ottmers Farms, Peach Creek Farm, Pecan Street Farm, Psencik Farm, Specialized Plant Sales, Taylor Farm, Tecolote Farm, The Blooming Idiots (once a month), The Herb Shack, Tres Emu Rancheros, Veldhuizen Farm, Thunderheart Bison, and Zamudio Farm. Starting soon will be the returns of McCall Creek Farm, Gendron Home Grown Tomatoes, Big Foot Farm, Rain Lilly Farm, Coach's Country Store and others. That's about three dozen farmers!
The bounty of locally grown produce is apparent at the Austin Farmers' Market with over two dozen farmers, ranchers and growers present every Saturday. The Austin Farmers' Market represents LOCAL farmers and producers, from the Central Texas region. The only time we have farmers, orchardists, animal husbandry ranchers or aqua-farmers at the Austin Farmers' Market outside of our local region is on rare ocassions when the fruit, meat or sea life cannot be had within our 150-mile radius. For example, we welcome citrus from 250-plus miles away grown by a bonifide farmer because oranges just don't grow well within 150 miles. But we would not host a peach grower from further than 150 miles away because there is more than enough peach growers right in our backyard, including the Hill Country area. Same goes for vegetables all in the Central Texas region.
Let's support these local farmers on Saturdays 9 a to 1 p at 4th and Guadalupe!

Wednesdays, 4- 7 pm; runs until July 27th at Plaza Saltillo (5th and Comal- just seven blocks east of the Convention Center). A lot of the same farmers are coming to this mid-week market too!
