Fantastic place! I heard about Last Organic Outpost many times, but I finally made it out there on…read morea Saturday, around noon. I wasn't sure what to expect, so I brought along a shopping bag for food. When I arrived, only me and a small family were there. Farmer Joe walked around with us and picked out fresh vegetables for us! It got to a point where my bag was completely full and I had to decline any more. I got eggplant, collards, fresh herbs, swiss chard, broccoli, flowers, and a jar of raw honey. Farmer Joe was suuuuper nice. He explained to us how the farm operates and how they give food to the food bank across the street free of charge for neighborhood families. I won't reiterate information you can find on their website, but they are a great organization! When it was time to pay (cash only), the price was unbelievable for the amount of organic food I had received. (Both me, and the family, paid $5 to $10 extra as a donation to the farm- he said we didnt have to, but we insisted.) I will probably be coming here weekly to pick up greens instead of visiting the grocery store, even if it is out of the way. Not only are you able to get farm-fresh organic food, LITERALLY picked that day, for a low price, you are also helping a farm that gives a lot back to the community. I will also be back to volunteer! TL;DR: Great organic food for cheap. Bring cash when you go, and be sure to chip in some extra cash for donation.

I have visited this place a few times because of recommendations and I have to say that I really…read moreliked it. I was not expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised with my experience. They seem to have a pretty diverse offering of food and even allowed us to pick out our own produce. The staff was very knowledgeable on growing and taking care of plants and was extremely friendly with any questions we had. They are pretty kid friendly as well and we found that many other parents bring their kids to hang out as well. They were pretty relaxed and laid back and just let the kids run free and roam around the property as they pleased which was really nice. The crowd that was there was pretty diverse which was pretty cool. I am not sure if this is how the pricing always works but they gave us a standard size grocery bag and told us we could fill it with whatever we wanted for $5 which I thought was an unbelievable deal. They do everything local, sustainable and organic as well. Naturally I gravitated to the kale plants as its one of my favorite greens and its does not get much better than picking it fresh off the plant. My only concerning observation was that the place seemed kind of like an utopian dream. The location is pretty unique in that is it located in one of Houston's less glamorous neighborhoods which can be totally overlooked but I noticed that very little of the people from the community seemed to be attending and participating. This is concerning since having the community backing up the establishment could be really useful for expansion. But education folks on healthy eating habits is a challenge so no pun intended. Also, as much as I love the easy going type of environment that they create, a little bit more order in the way that they do business could be very useful for them and consumers. All that aside, I highly recommend this place, especially if you live by. There is a great crowd of people to interact with, experts on growing food, kid friendly and open minded environment that is very welcoming and they also do a lot of events regularly which are mostly free to attend. Make sure to check them out and support them because there are not a lot of places like this in Houston.

It was not a particularly busy day for the farmers market but we had a nice time strolling along and seeing the variety of produce, handmade pasta, baked goods, and other items for sale! We stopped by one booth for a sample which had packaged Indian curries that can be easily boiled as a meal for one. At $10 we found them rather steep, but quite tasty! There was also a dumpling booth that seemed quite popular. This is a nice farmers market perfect for a relaxed stroll on a Saturday! Very family-friendly and a nice mix of local Houston finds.

The staff was very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. There's also plenty of seating in a quaint, charming little market setting, making it a great spot to sit, relax, and enjoy your drink.

Houston Flea Market is the definition of "you get what you pay for." It's overcrowded, disorganized, and feels like a maze of the same vendors selling the same cheap imported products over and over. The aisles can be dirty, parking is chaotic, and customer service varies wildly depending on who you're dealing with. Prices aren't always the bargain you'd expect either--many sellers charge close to retail unless you're willing to haggle. The food is one of the better parts, but it isn't enough to make up for the overall experience. If you're hoping to find unique antiques or hidden treasures, you'll probably leave disappointed after digging through piles of low-quality merchandise. Unless you specifically enjoy the flea market atmosphere or know exactly what you're looking for, there are much better ways to spend your time.

Afterall, this market is smackdab infront of Downtown Houston's City Hall and only up and running on Wednesdays 11am-2pm - LUNCH TIME! I mean, who really wants to buy a bag a produce and haul that back to the office? But samosas? Or puposas? Or a plate of soul food? Cold brew coffee or fresh juices? Hell yeah. That's a fantastic lunch. And all in an outdoor setting. This market features 30+ international food vendors from all over the world. Jerk chicken. Brazilian churrascaria. Dumplings. Tacos. Additionally, there are food trucks a'plenty. AND... there's live music. I'm lucky enough to work from home, but you downtown "deskies" can appreciate the fresh air, music, vitamin D and good eats.

Mr. Hatterman, if you are reading this, my wife says that you are one of the nicest, sweetest men…read moreshe has ever met. Since I'm a guy, I can't offer you quite the same compliment, but I must say, you are one friendly fellow. Mr. Hatterman is the purveyor of Hatterman Poultry Farm, a farm in Weimar, TX that supplies a number of Houston farmers markets with eggs from pastured, free-range, vegetarian fed chickens. In fact, if you ask, Mr. Hatterman has a book that he made that shows just how happy those chickens actually are. If you page through it, you'll see page after page of chickens wandering around his farm, picking at who knows what, and laying delicious eggs. So, aside from getting to converse with a charming local farmer, you're getting some pretty awesome eggs. Mr. Hatterman has a variety of eggs that you can choose from. I don't want to quote prices, because I can't remember prices for more than one or two, so I will do my best. Medium Brown: $1.50 per dozen if you buy 2 dozen or more (umm, I bought 6 dozen eggs for $9, organic eggs in the grocery store are $4 per dozen...who says buying local is more expensive?). If you only get one dozen, I *think* it is $2.50 per dozen Large White Large Brown Green eggs Duck Eggs: You can be a burger guy in your own home. By the way, beware of buying eggs from The Burger Guys that claim to be from Hatterman, he says he hasn't sold any to The Burger Guys for quite some time. Imagine they have a new source. Upon getting home, you'll get some of the freshest eggs you've ever had, as the eggs have been hand gathered just a short time before being trucked to market. You'll witness some of the brightest, most vivid yolks you'll ever see. Supporting farmers like Leon Hatterman is how we take back our eating from big food and an easy way to avoid salmonella. So, next time you're at one of Houston's many farmers markets, keep an eye out for Leon Hatterman. Never again will you look at eggs the same way again.

And maybe show you a few photos of his grandkids at the same time.

I definitely think the price is very fair for the quality of eggs and the experience of buying from Mr. Hatterman.

For a while, I rather resented The Grateful Bread, because I have a Pavlovian response to the word…read more"bread." Every time I'd walk by The Grateful Bread in the farmers market, my head would swivel, I'd back up a few spaces, scan the table for bread, and feel bitter and betrayed that there was no bread on display. By every time, I mean every time. At least five times. Finally, I got over my resentment (well, I still feel a little resentful that an item in the name is not offered; in theory, there is supposed to be challah, but where? where is it to be found, I ask?), and stopped by the table. Matt Marcus is very friendly and will gladly offer you a sample of his various items, which include guanciale, pesto, vanilla extract, Worcestershire sauce, other meat products, and other sauces. He makes most of the things, except for the cheddar and some other item (I've tried both--they're standard cheeses of its type). The gianduja wasn't as rich and creamy as I would've liked (more chocolate! more going-straight-to-my-things fat!). The pate de campagne (French country pate, with pork and bacon) is hearty, with pistachios (or some other green nut). The bacon is pre-smoked, so you can eat it without cooking it. I've fried it in a pan, and it is definitely not like traditional bacon, where it gets really crisp and fatty. Think of it as a cross between bacon and ham. My favorite item is the tart cherry mustard. It is slightly tart and not mouth-puckering as a lot of mustards are--the base makes me think of a champagne mustard. I knew that and the andouille sausage were winners when, after a piece dropped in my hair (okay, okay, so I can be a bit of a messy eater), I thought, "Aww, man, I dropped it in my hair--oh, wait, good thing my hair's like a net that catches delicious food" and then popped it in my mouth (hey! my hair's clean! granted, when I'm at home, if I see something on the carpet that looks like an M&M, which has a protective coating, I will attempt to eat it--attempt, because it is not an M&M 100% of the time: "Oh my god, what is this?!"). Besides, I'm sure the greasy nature of pork fat means it's good for my hair.
