This place is HUGE and packed with so many items which brings back great memories for me of my time in Korea. There is a massive food hall attached on the periphery with tons of independent businesses. There is a Tour le Jour bakery onsite too with lovely Korean baked goods including p'patbang (red bean paste pastry). We bought fresh whelk (marine sea snails) in gochujang and a squid poke and some seaweed for dinner in our hotel room. Go!

The food hall alone deserves its own field trip! And the kimchi section? THE SIZE OF A SMALL STORE. An entire area dedicated to kimchi because, frankly, kimchi deserves it. Your gut called and said THANK YOU. LOL. Beauty products, household goods, clothing boutiques, gifts, an eyeglass store, office supplies, PAJAMAS, a bakery, and even The Face Shop?! Don't get me started on the rice selection because rice is SERIOUS BUSINESS. Yep, they've got those big ass bags you're looking for, plus hard-to-find Asian fruits and veggies galore. FUN FACT: H Mart started in Queens, New York, in 1982 and grew into one of the largest Asian supermarket chains in the U.S.! And this Austin location even has an ARCADE. LIKE WHAAAAAT?! It's BUSY, but in the most fun way. Get dressed, grab your shopping bags, and make a whole outing of it. My new favorite market, hands DOWN.

Have you experienced live music at a farmers market? Until I stepped foot into the Texas Farmer's…read moreMarket, I had not. What a pleasant surprise! This was the largest farmers market I have visited in the Austin metroplex specifically in Cedar Park, TX. The vendors were so numerous that you could scan the layout via QR code at the market's entrance. The Texas Farmer's Market had everything you could imagine including composting, regeneration (learned something new), bread, bakeries, meats, just to name a few. Quite honestly, I was overwhelmed initially. Then I paced myself. The market had regenerative eggs. I asked, "how do you get regenerative eggs?" Apparently, you regenerate the chickens by allowing them to roam more loosely and changing their location approximately every 3 days...fascinating stuff! Like any farmers market there were a ton of samples. Surprisingly, there were very few fruits and vegetables. When we lived in Bellevue, WA virtually all the farmers market had mostly organic fruits and vegetables. Service by the various vendors were rather friendly. Next time, I need to allocate more time for exploring. Huge farmer's market...

It's a fairly large parking area at the Pavilion area of Travisso-Which is a huge home complex directly off FM 1431 in Leander-on the border of Cedar Park and Leander. Every single parking spot was taken so cars were parking on a side road leading out to Travisso Parkway. I wouldn't have known about this new savory farmers market except that I am a big fan of Andreas Eats Food Truck and she sent out a flyer about it as she was there with her taco truck! I planned to get pictures of the different vendors, however with the social distancing and the crowd it was impossible this time. I did take pictures of everything I purchased (except for the Brisket Taco which the hubster ate ASAP)! There were two fairly long strips of vendors one on each side of a walkway. It was easy to maintain social distancing when standing in line unless the line was quite long, and when people were going back-and-forth down the middle area to access the vendors. Some customers had masks on, a couple of the vendors did as well. Vendors included: homemade soap and body products, garden fresh veggies and fruits, Flat Creek wines, Alaska salmon, shaved ice, Andreas Eats, Fresh Eggs, Poultry, Pork and Beef and more! I will be posting pictures of the produce that I purchased this time around. Next time I will try to go extra early or at closing time to get some shots of the vendor areas. This is a great addition to the other farmers markets in Central Texas! Personally, I love that it's on a weekday!!! This is my new go to Farmers Market! 2437 Travisso Pkwy, Leander, TX 78641

All you have to do is submit & pay your order online at least 1 day ahead, then select your pickup time (8AM - 3PM (Mon-Sat)). When it's time to go get your groceries, you drive up to the warehouse, give them your order number, then pop open the trunk. They will wheel your groceries out and put them directly into the car trunk for you. We have ordered from Hardie's a couple times so far, and the produce has consistently been good quality (a few bruised items here and there, but nothing major). Since we are only ordering for 2 people, some of the bulk perishable items are not really an option for us. But this would be an even better deal for families or homes with multiple roommates! Driving Tip: Hardie's provides some directions and instructs customers to look for the orange cones. In addition to that, we've noticed you can enter the business park from Burnet or Metric. Both sides work, but Hardie's is a little easier to find if you enter from Metric.

We typically visit Natural Grocers as part of our weekly shopping. However, over the last several…read moremonths they have had refrigeration problems that have plagued all of their dairy, meats, frozen goods, and other cold sections. Unfortunately, they can not seem to get these issues resolved and the fixes are very temporary. Sometimes they have cold items in the back of the store that they say they can get for you, but lately I have been met with short responses and more reluctance than support. Since, they can not get these problems resolved, I do not recommend shopping there until the company replaces the refrigeration as product availability is very unreliable and it is frustrating to show up there thinking of purchasing weekly groceries only to have to get back in my car and go to another store.

I love that the rice is placed in separate containers. We tore through this feast, and everyone commented on how good it was. ---- Their boudin is also made in-house and offer options like traditional pork, Texas with jalapenos, crawfish and so on... There's a good selection of sausage links including specials. And of course, when in season crawfish. --- During the holidays you can order a smoked turkey or a turducken.

Fortunately for us, we looked across the street and saw this spot which turned out to be a gem. It's a cajun meat market that doubles as a cajun kitchen. They offer simple, no frills dishes that are pretty tasty and true to Louisiana cuisine. There's limited seating and while there's a steady number of folks coming in, didnt see anyone not grt a table so the flow is pretty steady for geoups of 4 or less. If you're bringing a group larger than 4, you may have a hard time seating everyones. We had the shrimp po boy and the roast beef boy. The french bread on both was amazing: warm and soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Both were loaded pretty generously and came with lettuce, tomato pickles and mayo. The side we chose were fries which were pretty spectacular: thinly cut and well seasoned. The only sad part is that it's way north for us. We'd probably be there more often if ot were closer.
