Farmers Markets! If you are not familiar with our Brazos Valley Farmers' Market here is the chance to get familiar! Lets start with the basics : A farmers market is an opportunity for farmers to sell their produce to the public. In other farmers markets farmers might drive pretty far to sell their products but not in the Brazos Valley!The BVFM is exclusively local growers, just so that it impacts out community that much more.
There is so much variety at the farmers market, they offer tomatoes, cucumber, corn, eggplant, summer squash, winter squash, green beans, hot peppers, sweet peppers, okra, onions, potatoes, carrots, tomatillos, zucchini, watermelon, cantaloupe, figs, peaches, apples, berries, plums, pears... .and so much more! It also is not just confined to food, there are exceptional crafts including bath products and pottery.
Aside from the local revenue, BVFM gives back to our community by also recycling the following food packaging: egg cartons, glass jars, plastic bags, paper bags, rubber bands, twine, plastic berry boxes, fabric scraps, buttons and plant pots! An article was posted in The Battalion (Texas A&M news) about the Brazos Valley Farmers Market and their recycling habits!
