This week at Nacogdoches Farmer's Market

The Nacogdoches Farmer’s Market has a new savvy Internet tool. This new marketing approach will be utilized to list local entertainment, vendors, recipes and much more. Many thanks go out to Brian Walters who designed the website for the Market. While still under construction, we welcome everyone to go ahead and take a peek. You can check out the new farmer’s market website at http://www.farmersmktnac.blogspot.com/.

The Nacogdoches Farmers’ Market continues to have an amazing variety of fresh produce, even in this between-season period. This week look for pinto beans, several varieties of peas, bell peppers, okra, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, new potatoes and squash. In addition, you will find plentiful baked goods (breads, muffins, cookies, bagels and more), canned jellies, jams and salsas, local honey, free range eggs (if you arrive early), a large variety of handcrafts, plus plants and cut flowers. Kat Tree, who recently returned to Nacogdoches after many years in Colorado, provides our musical entertainment. Her unique musical style draws from such artists as Emmy Lou Harris, Joni Mitchell, and John Prine.
