Farmer’s Market gives visitors access to local produce and goods

The producer/grower market consists of farmers, ranchers and wineries located within the geographic neighborhood of Gillespie and adjacent counties, offering a wide variety of tomatoes, vegetables, peaches, blackberries and other fruits, mushrooms, meats, goat cheese, eggs, Gulf seafood, baked goods, wine, vinegar and herbs, as well as beautiful flowers.

Shoppers are invited to come for the food and stay for the family friendly party atmosphere where they can purchase meals and snacks while listening to live music.

The summer market takes place at Marktplatz where guests can enjoy live music, fresh wood-fired pizza and plenty of local produce.

Pizza baked in a wood burning oven, various dishes, including soups, salads, sliders and pastries are all made with local ingredients and can be enjoyed picnicstyle under the pavilion.

Wine from local wineries can be purchased by the glass or bottle and non-alcoholic iced beverages are also served.

At the Chef’s Corner, visitors will find free samples prepared by local chefs using ingredients from the market. Chefs and volunteers are happy to “talk shop” and answer questions about how to cook the dish being sampled.
