I was headed to a store to go buy my veggies & stuff when I spotted these three little farmers set…read moreup. Let me tell you when I say I did a NASCAR stop & turn around - I mean it! Right there in the middle of McCullough, I did just that! I figured why go to the store when I can support local farmers!?! So, I did just that! Got me 2# of pecans (shucked), 2 jars of spicey okra (mmmm), some tomato preserves, apricot jam, & jalapeno jelly. I got there as they were packing up to head home. They had a ways to go. I'll get there earlier next time. Maybe get some meat. I come from an old cattle ranching family, & he knew my great grandpa's name. He even said "you're from the old families." I smiled & said yup. My grandpa's family set up some of the neighboring towns. So, my love & support of farmers runs deep! Support American Farmers! Then, I moved down the line to the next gentleman & bought a bushel of each of his veggies. $20 got me some delicious tomatoes, sweet & little red potatoes, zucchini (aka courgette), & onions. Gonna eat well! Finally moved over to the last farmers, The Perlata's. I got the last little bits of my veggies & a yummy jar of salsa. Kale, cilantro, bell peppers, yellow squash, green beans, cabbage, & broccoli that I'll be cooking tonight. The two things that were best part about all of this accidental discovery were I needed, & had all this on my list to go get for my shopping at TJ's. I got to meet some farmers, give back to our community, & keep the money local. This was such a great fund for me. Plus, it was a beautiful day. There was also a City of San Antonio employee out there cleaning up the area at the time as well. The park area was clean, but, he was out there doing rounds. The only issue was the sign. Maybe a local company could donate time, funds & supplies to fix it? Or some street art is could create an amazing sign? ‍

They had live music on this visit in June. There were only three vendors, but they had a good selection of local fruits and vegetables. I also saw eggs and grass fed beef, as well as some baked goods. Maybe if we get more people to patronize this market it will grow.

This is the Leon Valley location for the San Antonio Farmer's Market, which is open on Wednesdays…read moreonly, 7:30am - 1pm year round in the parking lot by the Leon Valley Community center. I grew up going to Farmer's Markets and was excited to finally get a chance to check out this one close to me. There were 8 vendor tents when I arrived and all were selling a variety of vegetables and fruits. While there were some commonalities between the tents (since certain things are in season) there was also a decent variety for it being a smaller gathering. Most of the stands had little baskets with the produce priced around $3-4 per basket, which was on par or cheaper than what I expect at the big HEBs in town. They also had some harder to find items, like lemon cucumbers, different types of kale and leafy veg, and all of it was WAY fresher than the big stores. Everyone was very friendly and they can take cash, debit, or lonestar cards (a huge plus since I don't always have cash). They also provide bags, although I bring my own out of habit. I don't know if they carry goods like oil or honey at any point during the year at this location, which is the only minor drawback I can remotely think of. The chance to buy fresh and support the immediately local growers is also great. Look forward to going back again for some squash (which they also had tons of) for a big picnic I will be bringing grilling vegetables to in the near future. If you go to the main website and click on "market schedule" in the left side bar, you can find the other locations in town where the vendors set up through out the week, so if this isn't the closest one to you, I bet you can find another. If I could give it 4.5 stars, I would!

Don't worry even if you don't speak it at all they still do help you. They have some baked goods at the counter and always you can find hot empanadas The last time I went I found alfajores So yeah if you want a cultural experience or would like to try snacks or even attempt to cook this is the place to shop at

I gave them a call to see if they had these fresh vegetables and they did..It is a small market and has Hispanic foods ,Mexican candies and fresh produce that major markets don't carrry, .They have a very small vegetable section .I asked the fella who was in the produce area where I could find these ingredients that I needed. the employees spoke Spanish which I didn't mind.. he pointed out the peppers and beer, which was refrigerated . The aji dulce peppers were in a small generic plastic bag like a Ziploc .each one weighing a quarter of a pound 2.99( I needed more than that so i bought 2 bags , as well as a small bunch of culantro for $2.99 as well. It's not something that you could find easily in San Antonio market since this is a specialty market . this would account for the increase price .when I went home I was a little disappointed to see that about a third of the peppers were not usable because they were old, rotting. But I was happy with the flavor that these 2 ingredients added to the meal I cooked.

Lucky for me i brought my trusty insulated bag. The butcher even offered to cut up my chicken. This place is really clean and doesn't smell like raw bloody meat when you walk in.

You could tell that it had been grown in a garden, which is highly commendable. I could have bought everything the market had with a $20 bill. The prices were quite reasonable, but the selection was not what I'd expect from a farmers market. They offered some samples, which were delicious. The Food Bank was there selling wraps of some sort for $5. Hopefully, as this goes on, more and more farmers will start showing up with produce.
