Pictured above is a typical haul of mine from a weekly Farmers’ Market.  For busy families near the Texas Medical Center and Rice University, the Rice University Farmers’ Market on Tuesdays at 3:30-7 p.m. is the answer!  Enter off University Blvd. near the stadium and find over 30 vendors present every week, selling everything from organic baby food to dog biscuits.  I depend on the peach growers in the summer!  The fruit is delicious and they never last at my house until the next Tuesday!  Find a home where you can walk to this market or just have a very short drive.

Support these local farmers who bring organic and sustainable garden produce to the market!  Surprise the cook by stopping by after working at the Medical Center; you’ll be glad you did!
