Everything looked amazing. Lots of fresh, local produce. Several local purveyors were present, too, such as Texas Olive Ranch and CKC Farms Goat Cheese.

We ordered a peach, yes, peach and goat cheese pizza along with a margarita pizza to accompany our fresh figs, blackberries, bread, peach & chipotle goat cheese and aged balsamic vinegar...all from the farmers' market. I could easily have added more, but we won't have room to transport it all home when we leave town. They have live music, too, which was very pleasant. Smiles abounded everywhere and you couldn't find a stranger.

Every time we head up to the lake house in LBJ we make a point to come here on Sunday. We load a cooler to take back home with us! Our main stops are: 1. Capital City Ceviche - they make Hawaiian poke just like back home in Hawaii. Since moving to Texas, that was something we haven't been able to find that is good. But here.....OMG the best! 2. JW Seafood - specifically when in season, the fresh oysters are amazing! 3. Prairie's Prairies- they have quality French pastries and baked goods. We love their scones, croissants, and their puffs....oh yum! 4. Goodie Dumplings- They make them fresh on site or have frozen to take home. They have everything from veggie, chicken, beef, pork, and seafood! This are so good. It is usually a snack while we walk around and then we take some to go to add to our ramen at home. They add a lot of vendors throughout the year which is fun! They have craft items as well which we have even bought a few items from those booths as well. Next time you're in Spicewood on a Sunday, be sure to stop in! :)

I gave him a few marketing ideas to increase traffic at the store. We got a little pie and a bag of pecans. Fun stop if you are in Fredericksburg.

Great spot to stroll through and perhaps pick up some homemade stuff, jewelry, handbags, etc. Tons of different vendors selling their goods. I'm sure they have something for everyone. As for me, I actually didn't buy anything. I was very selective in my purchases that day for some reason. I spent no more than 30 minutes walking through it. Please note this is not exactly a farmers market... I don't recall seeing any fresh fruits and vegetables or maybe there were some and I just didn't notice. Most of the vendors were selling non-food items. Do check for the days they are open. If you're looking for specialty items, this may be the spot for you! Happy Market Days!

We stopped at Studebakers's Farm Stand for a couple reasons. First it wasn't a large brick and mortar and second the focus was peaches ! It is a medium size building-a barn type structure with multiple wooden fruit stands inside. The peaches are beautifully displayed in baskets of varying sizes, the size determines the price. The young lady who assisted me was very nice and helpful too! (Despite the fact that it was 103' outside-the structure provided shade but it was still quite hot!-my temperament changes a bit when I have to be out in that oppressive heat!) Before I go on-imagine how a perfectly shaped peach, at the height of ripeness smells....that heavenly pure peach smell was so intoxicating and it was the first thing I noticed upon entering the fruit stand!! Believe me, I had to practice severe restraint not to get several bushels because I could easily imagine making Peach Pie, Peach Cobbler and Peach Jam....maybe even Peach Ice Cream ....I regress! I advised I was looking for a peach that's best eaten from the hand...(they are a very low calorie option) and I asked if she could make a recommendation. She said they offered six varieties and she recommended two that were touted for their sweetness. I chose a beautiful basket of a golden peach variety-sadly I forgot to photograph them in the basket as I was one of only two customers so she was able to quickly but carefully place them in a brown paper bag and complete our transaction. I'm adding a photo of them on my drying rack-we had already eaten three prior to snapping the pic. I can't even remember the last time I tasted such an incredibly delicious peach. Bite after bite-the perfect taste of ripeness as if I had plucked it directly from the tree, just firm enough so I was able to eat it easily while avoiding making a sticky mess, yet so juicy bite after bite. Honestly I was truly amazed at the flavor. If you are near Fredericksburg, I would highly recommend you stop. They have peaches pretty much thru September. You'll need to be on the lookout. It sits back just a bit from Highway 290-as you come in from Austin it will be on your left about 7 miles before you reach downtown Fredericksburg. Enjoy !

There's food vendors ranging from authentic Jamaican sauces/seasonings, German marmalades and pastries, Philippine foods in addition to the Tex Mex and festival staples (funnel cakes and corn dogs). Also found inside are vendors of arts and crafts including paintings . Everyone here is friendly and the vibe is FUN!

Small number of vendors overall not sure how compared to normal. Had a few craft vendors and seafood and meat sales. Majority of vendors seemed to have jarred goods such as jellies, butters, cukes and the like. I was a little disappointed at the lack of fresh fruit and veggies. Literally only one vendor that had any fresh veggies and the selection was quite sparse. We got there about 1030 and they open at 9 so possible things got picked over but unlikely. Will have to try another time and see if selection is better. Definitely worth a stop if in the area on a Saturday
