Fortunately today there was a community yoga class (Swift Fit Events), plus a succulent class (East side succulents). This allowed us the opportunity to explore and enjoy the property.

The restrooms are very accessible, and clean! So happy to have this precious gem in Austin! Thank You

Came to Mueller farmers market instead of the Bell District location in Cedar Park, as I had a Yelp…read moreevent like a block away from this locations farmers market. Saw my favorite venders. Smith & Smith Farms and Hackamore Ranch. Got my eggs, which were a little smaller this week, but with that is also a price break. $5.00 each dozen. Also got some ground lamb and cubed steak. I think it took me longer to find parking than it actually took to get what I needed. The parking is always hard down here, which is why I'd rather go to the Cedar Park location. I should be good for the week.

I'm disappointed to be writing this, but I had an upsetting experience at the farmers market last…read moreSunday. Farmers markets are supposed to be welcoming, family-friendly spaces where local vendors, farmers, nonprofits, faith groups, and community members can come together safely and respectfully. Unfortunately, I witnessed something that made the environment feel anything but welcoming. There was a small religious group with a table at the market, and as someone passed by, they shouted offensive racial and religious slurs at the men working the table. It was completely uncalled for. Rather than engaging in any kind of respectful conversation, this person chose to be hateful and intimidating in a public community space. I understand that the organizers may not be able to identify or remove every person who behaves this way, but I do think the market should be more proactive about making its expectations clear. A farmers market should feel safe for everyone, including vendors and community organizations that may be more likely to face harassment. Clear signage, public reminders, or stronger policies against hate speech and intolerance would go a long way. I hope the organizers take this seriously and make it clear that racism, religious intolerance, and harassment are not acceptable at this market. The community deserves a space that truly feels supportive, inclusive, and safe for all.

I had the privilege of ordering, cooking and eating a heritage turkey from Alexander Farm this…read moreThanksgiving. What a treat! I so happy that when I saw the sign for ordering at the Sunset Valley Farmer's market, I sprung for it, even though I didn't know what a heritage turkey even was, other than it was free range. Well, it is more than that. From the website: http://www.localharvest.org/features/heritage-turkeys.jsp "Prized for their rich flavor and beautiful plumage, Heritage Turkeys are the ancestors of the common Broad-breasted White industrial breed of turkey that comprises 99.99% of the supermarket turkeys sold today. But the Heritage Breeds still exist and are making a comeback. Most breeds of heritage turkey were developed in the United States and Europe over hundreds of years, and were identified in the American Poultry Association's turkey Standard of Perfection of 1874. These breeds include the Standard Bronze, Bourbon Red, Jersey Buff, Slate, Black Spanish, Narragansett and White Holland." The experience at Alexander Farm was cool. I, of course, forgot to pick up my turkey at the right day, so they called me and I drove over before work just after sunrise on Wednesday morning, with a cooler in my trunk. The Farm is only about 8 miles east of the Airport and it really is a farm. The gentleman who met me at the gate assured me that my turkey had lived a good life hanging out in the pretty pasture behind the barn. How cool is it to pick up your turkey from the very farm it was raised in??!! All the other animals at the farm looked pretty happy, too, enjoying the beautiful morning. As for the turkey, it was AMAZING!! Although much leaner and less breasty than the factory farmed grocery store models, I was amazed at how juicy and flavorful this bird was. I have always hated the white meat of the turkey and went straight for the wings and thighs, but this turkey's breast was just fantastically moist and tender and delicious and had real flavor. It was not like any bird I have ever had before. So so so so worth it. It really wasn't very expensive, given that these turkeys take twice as long to grow. At 5.99 a pound, I think these are probably the least expensive heritage birds available in the country. A recent article I read in my research said that they typically sold out quick at $10.00 a pound most places. I seriously feel very lucky to have had the experience of eating this bird. I don't think I will ever eat a factory farmed bird again. Good job, Alexander farms!!

If you understand that eating LOCALLY GROWN foods means you are putting LIVING ENZYMES into your…read morebody, you would never purchase fruits, veggies, meats, poultry ANYPLACE else than a LOCAL Farmers Market. This one has Wonderful Farmers like the LADY FARMERS at Richardson's Farm who bring fresh meat, chicken, eggs & Chicken Livers. They raise their animals underfoot and don't supplement with nasty gmo feed. The chickens eat worms, bugs, grass, lol, just like BEFORE CORPORATE FARMING began. Whether you select Arugula (yes, with that lovely "bitter/hot" taste, figs picked the night before, or eggs taken from the chicks that morning, I promise you that your body will thank you! I am a Pescatarian for 30+ years, but every other month I get a container of Richardson Farm's Chicken Livers, and they are to die for! Tasty, fresh and nutritious too!

First, not so much farm, as in produce, raw milk, meats, etc. it's more like matcha drinks, candles, wooden cutting boards, pecans, home made pickles, and jewelry.

Nothing really caught my eye today. But maybe another time when it's a little bigger and has more farmer venders Everyone is super friendly,
