Fresh & New
December 7, 2003
Our last day of the 2003 season Nov. 22nd was a market rush to get goods for Thanksgiving dinners!
We'll see you in early spring 2004 with tons of carrots, greens, lettuces, turnips, radishes, beets, sprouts, eggs, meats, cheese, strawberries and more!
There are also baked goods, ready-to-eat foods, jellies, salsas, flowers, plants, teas, honey, coffee, soups, juice and crafts and arts from local producers.
Services include massage (ahhhh...); portraits by Isabel Goode-DeBlanc when she is there (ALL her revenues from the made-at-the-market portraits are donated to the Market); and herbalist Ginger Webb.
We have also have fun with: Kid's Patch activities; Live local bands; Chefs' Circle Demonstrations with tastings; and Market Card drawings.
We are a growers-only local growers market and the farmers only sell what they grow within 150 miles. Satisfy your connection to the food you eat and meet the farmers directly!
Thanks again to the generous contributions and partnerships with the Austin Museum of Art and Classified Parking (for the farmer truck area gratis), Safe Zone (for reduced street barricade fees), City of Austin and the Parks and Recreation Department (for reduced fees and security), Downtown Austin Alliance and many more major sponsors in the downtown area and in the media. We also thank the hundreds of individual supporters who have become FOUNDERS of the Austin Farmers' Market to help us with the start up and continuing operating costs. We encourage you to jump on the scale and 'Weigh In' (give your support) and still take advantage of FOUNDERS t-shirts available with your tax-deductible contribution. And for all the 100+ volunteers, some of them coming weekly, Thank You!
