    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? ‍

    I wish San Antonio had more farmer's markets with more produce vendors. I had forgotten about this…read morelocation and used to frequent the parket back in the 90s when it was in a grove of shade trees. Not sure why they moved it to a hot parking lot. 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.

    I texted to confirm that they were open on a day their website said they were open and was told…read morethey were closed. They then asked me to place an order, which I did and didn't hear back until a few days later. (Which is fine it was the weekend) but for a website that stresses the fact that they have no prices and are donation only, their "recommended donation" is twice what I already pay for raw milk and what I pay at the farmers market for the other items. I had no plans to short change them and was going to donate what I would normally pay Plus the fee for the glass milk bottles. I'm not comfortable countering with a 'donation' that I can afford when their recommendation is so high. Milk is $14 a gallon but sold in half gallon jugs that are $5 a piece, so that's $24 a gallon for your first purchase. (Bottles are reusable do goes down to $14/gal after that). I get that they run a ministry and it costs money but it feels so underhanded to put that your donation only and splash 'NO PRICES!' across your website only to blind side customers with the highest prices around when we place an order. I cancelled my order and explained that I don't couldn't afford that much and I didn't hear back. Nothing about 'donate what you can afford' which is what the website says, so I'm assuming that they're pretty firm on their 'recommended donation'. If you want to charge that much, list it on your website and justify your prices. Explain why it's worth it. Don't be underhanded about it. I was so excited to learn about what y'all do the and to try your products but I'm so turned off now.

    I didn't mind paying $10 for the milk because you don't just go for the milk, you go for the…read moreexperience. Me and my buddy Ike go to Texas State and I was looking for a place to get my raw milk needs and Seguin seemed to be the closest to San Marcos (26 miles) After being pissed off about getting lost while trying to get to this place, I thought I was going to have to put up with a bunch of religious nuts just by judging by the name. Not being very religious I didn't think I was going to care for "that kind" of experience and just pick up my milk and leave. I ended up staying 2 extra hours to chat with Gina and Denise. These ladies were very soulful, educated and offered stimulating conversation. They brought out some sweet tea and fried chicken for me and Ike (free) They asked us about our heritage and backgrounds and where we came from. We felt very at home and I didn't feel like I was being bombarded about why I wasn't a Christian. They offer tours, horseback riding and want to get to know you. I know I'll be returning for more milk and who knows I'll probably do some volunteer work one of these weekends. They gave us some personalized prayer for us on the way out and left on good mood. Come check out the spot! I'll try to write a better review the next time I go when I need more milk.
