Farmers Markets Highlight Houston’s Local Food Growers And Products

Michael Hagerty

The City Hall Farmers Market is back for the spring season. Every Wednesday through Dec. 19, more than 40 local farmers, food trucks and other vendors set up outside City Hall downtown.

The market is just one of many farmers markets around the region that showcase people involved in the local food movement.

Last year, we sent Houston Matters' Michael Hagerty to there to learn more about that growing scene. He talked with representatives from Urban Harvest, which is behind several farmers markets in Greater Houston.

He also spoke with a local grower from Plant It Forward Farms, along with businesses that make products from locally sourced ingredients, such as Gulf Coast Honey Bee Farms, Panzarella Import Co., Good Cravings and Doggiee Snack Bar.
