In the Austin Farmers' Market for this week . .
Peppers of all types from all the farmers continue--thai, jalepeno, habanero, poblano, bell, anaheim and more!
Tecolote Farm is back with certified organic produce. Indian Hills is out for some 2-3 weeks. There are still some dozen vegetable growers with aplenty. Gundermann Farm (organic also) won't return now until October becausing of late crop transplanting.
About 20 farmers continue breaking into September with a wide range of vegetables, fruits, meats, cheeses, eggs, plants, flowers and herbs. Please continue to come to the market and bring a friend to celebrate this year's crop. The farmers need your support to make up for the rain damage! Don't forget the 20+ other vendors too.PLEASE NOTE: vendor appearances stated below are as of Tuesdays, if there is a change by the day of the Market Saturday, we apologize for the inconvenience.
Vegetables: Look for the tender mustard greens from Naegelin Farm and an awe-inspiring selection from Animal Farm. And from all the farmers, there're wonderful squashes, long beans, tomatoes, shelled peas, cucumbers, eggplant, okra, peppers, onions, summer garlic, summer greens, herbs of all kinds, and microgreens.
Fruits: Apples are in! Kim McBride of Bat Creek Farm has returned and his apples are a must-buy for back to school lunches (and a snack for yourself). Pears are thinning out but can still be found at Oasis. Peaches are at the end, though McCrary has some "Monroes" for late season.
Meats: Tesoro Tierra will be entering the Market in October with their poultry, pork and some beef and you'll love meeting Ruth Noel. Thunderheart Bison has lean, natural buffalo, and Arrow K Ranch features longhorn beef. Loncito Cartwright and his Loncito's Lamb Will be here September 4th, and he has PORK as well. Eggs you'll find from various farms who have some yard chickens, like Bikkirum, Herb Shack, Ottmers, Kaune Line, etc. when they are at market. Alexander Family Farm will be coming back in September; it's just too hot for their chickens to lay in volume. Chautauqua Foundation smoked salmon is a cool way to get wonderful smoked salmon and benefit a great cause.
Dairy: The Veldhuizen Family Farm makes all natural artisan cow cheeses including gouda, Texas Swiss, Cheddar, a signature hard cheese, string cheese and yogurt cheese. Pure Luck Grade A dairy will be taking off from dog days of summer weeks and have an undetermined return date at this time. If you want to find them, then go to their website at http://www.purelucktexas.com Let them know you support them at the Market! The wonderful cheese is available at other outlets listed on the website.
Baked Goods: Breads, rolls, cookies, brownies, granola and much more from more bakers than you can shake a bread stick at: Texas French Bread offers artisan bread loaves and rolls and cookies; Sticky Toffee Pudding Company features the pudding, among other European-style savories and sweets; Mary Louise Butter's Brownies are definitely Austin; and Glenda's Gourmet Cakes are made from Glenda's family recipe (Glenda is coming back in cooler weather). Stay tuned for some new vendors in this category.
Flowers: Flowers from the Hill Country conscientiously cared for by Lost Truffle farmers Elizabeth and John McIntosh continue to come in weekly to add the extra lift to your lifestyle of beauty and bounty around good food, good company, and good surroundings. The Arnosky Family Farm will return September 11 with flowers and vegetables too.
Plants: We've got the plants! Herb Shack is a mainstay for culinary herbs you can grow and the Blooming Idiots bring the plants that your grandmother loved and cared for. Oasis is selling vegetable starts for the fall garden. Look for cacti from our vendor Mark Rehfield of Spicewood Spines later after the heat dies down.
Assorted: Look for Paw Bakery for a special treat for your four-footed friend that you bring to the Market. We've got the Taco Shack at the Market (not here 9/4) and Daily Juice's fresh squeezed all natural juices (WATERMELON for sure) and revitalizing coconut milk in the shell, herbal teas, fresh brewed coffee, hibiscus mint tea, Aster's Ethiopian wraps and dishes, gift cakes, Oaxacan tamales, and jams and jellies, salsas and honey. Safari Vegetarian curries and crepes will be missed at the Market, as Miriam is taking off for some weeks during this hot summer.
Crafts and arts: A much sought-after stylish Will Heron (featured in the style section of the Statesman recently) is selling originally created t-shirts, and there are also paintings, jewelry, soy candles, cigar box and cloth purses, wooden bowls, wood furniture and clayworks.
Services: NEW CAFÉ AREA by the band, great for people watching and music aficionados; Massage (ahhhh...); knife and scissor sharpening with valet (leave your knife at Alexander Farm booth when Kim is here and pick it up when you're done shopping); portraits by Isabel Goode-DeBlanc return this fall; and herbalist Ginger Webb and her associates.
We are a local growers-only market and the farmers only sell what they grow. Satisfy your connection to the food you eat and meet the farmers directly!
