Vine-fresh tomatoes, free-range chicken eggs, and locally raised meat — all this and more can be found at farmers markets in the Highland Lakes. You might even find crafts.

Farmers markets typically crop up in the spring and continue through early fall, although the one in Llano is open year-round. Markets offer small, local growers a place to sell their fruits, vegetables, meats, and more. For buyers, it’s a chance to support and meet these producers.

Highland Lakes farmers markets include:

It's sponsored by the Highland Lakes Master Gardener Association.
