Visit our Bay Area farmers markets and you’ll discover one of our best kept secrets: there’s a large population of farmers among us. From backyard gardeners to full-fledged farmers, you’ll meet our local green thumbs and can select from freshly picked fruits and vegetables, herbs, local honey, organic offerings, homemade dips, salsas, tamales, BBQ, bath and body products and more. Every market is filled with your fresh favorites. New markets are popping up all over the Bay Area.

We used to have to drive to Houston’s farmers markets to find the best locally grown produce, but that’s no longer the case. Fresh, healthy food is as close at Nassau Bay and Clear Lake Shores. Be sure to bring your own bags and cash for individual vendors. Allow yourself plenty of time to browse and enjoy connecting with others in your community.

 

The Nassau Bay Farmers Market Every Saturday from 10am – 2pm

Shop inside Erma’s Nutrition Center for your weekly groceries, enjoy a complimentary cup of organic coffee and sample Sue’s homemade soups and other Saturday offerings.
