Today we visited the Austin Farmers' Market at The Triangle. I plan on visiting several of the farmers' markets within the city limits, but this one just happened to be today and I needed some produce! What a great first experience. Of course, the weather was great. This goes without saying, but remember, I just moved from Seattle, so I'm still noticing the weather. Each day is miraculous. Ha ha!
The location of the market was great: 46th and Triangle Avenue, at Triangle Park. Plenty of parking. The market is from 4pm-8pm every Wednesday, so coming from South Austin, traffic was bad in both directions. If you want to stick around for dinner, The Triangle has a few good-looking restaurants within a couple hundred feet, so hang out awhile afterward and skip that traffic going home.
There were approximately 24 vendors which made for a nice selection of organic goodness. Wares ranged from produce to cheese, meat to bread, and pasta to gelato. Most vendors sold the same kinds of produce: summer squash, tomatoes, peppers, onions and watermelon.
Non-live music played through the market area, making for an upbeat shopping experience. If you get too hot, hop on over to the triangle fountain. It's an unexpected spot for kids and adults to cool off just a tad. I say unexpected because the shoots of water randomly rise from the ground.
