FIELD GUIDE AUSTIN, TEXASFARMERS’ MARKETS
A TO
It seemed only fitting to share a recent
obsession with eating locally grown produce
and products such as jams, juice and bread in
a field guide about farmers’ markets in Austin,
Texas. This book contains a comprehensive
map of location, times and hours of the
currently active markets in the Austin are
located on the last page of this book as well as
space to take notes about your favorite vendors
and ideas of products to by next visit.
Never be afraid of asking anyone at the market,
like one of the vendors or anyone walking
around, about the lay of the land. A farmers’
market is a place where you can by food
directly from the people who make it. These
people love fresh, good food and should inspire
you to enjoy the same.

At sustainable food markets,
such as these, the use of a
plastic bag is somewhat
frowned upon. You can
purchase a canvas tote at most
farmers’ markets and it is
highly recommended to bring
your own. Leave them in your
car or in your bike basket so
they are always around to help
reduce waste in the world.
Some vendors will even give
you a discount or throw in an
extra bunch of brocolli for
having your own bag.
Bring ‘em and use ‘em.4. REUSABLE BAGS
