What a wonderful experience the Austin Farmer's Market was at 4th and Guadalupe last Saturday. They actually block off a section of the street to accomodate all the vendors that participate. And there were a lot of vendors!
Again, great selection of produce, meat, cheese, bread, clothing and plants! On top of this, we were able to enjoy some fresh-baked goodies as there were a multitude (OK, maybe not a multitude) of prepared food vendors serving up some ethnic goodness.
Free parking was available at the garage just north of the market. A short walk across the street and you're standing in the market, packed with a variety of people and organic goodies galore! From what I observed, nearly everyone sported a reusable tote (yay!)
One thing that made this market different from the last one we visited at The Triangle, was the live music! It sure added a neat dimension to the experience. It made shopping feel like a party. I like that they had a lot of seating in the shade so people could escape from the blazing sun and enjoy some great tunes.
I highly recommend this farmers' market as it seemed that the majority of the vendors at The Triangle were also here, plus many more. Be sure to stop by the information booth for market merchandise plus a lot of free literature. I received some great information from what I picked up!
