The weather looks fantastic this weekend. Texas is going to feel like California, and I couldn’t be any happier about it.

Mother Shuckers is going to sell wholesome homemade tamales from Burleson, TX, and Reeves Farm has a bunch of red beets, peppers, corn on the cob, tomatoes, peaches, and melons. Josh Heddin Farms has purple hulled peas and pinto beans, squash, melons, berries, peppers, onions, and fresh Canton peaches.

Cowtown Farmers Market:: Market Organizer Gwin Grimes writes in:
We will have an atypical, small harvest of asparagus from B&G Gardens in Poolville, a result of earlier cool and rainy weather.
We now have a vendor selling fresh farm eggs, the first license granted by the city to one of our market’s farmer-members.
Aduro Bean Roasters has returned as a vendor after a year’s hiatus, selling their organic, fair trade coffees blended and roasted in McKinney.
Guest vendor The Fat Truck food truck will be at market serving breakfast tacos.
