Saturday, March 5 - We visited the Farmers Market At Imperial this morning. It is held every Saturday from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm.
It is on land once owned by the Imperial Sugar company, one of the companies that gave “Sugar” Land, Texas it's name. It was actually the discovery of wild sugar cane back in the 1800's that lead to the development of Sugar Land, Texas. From that discovery came Imperial Sugar, one of the oldest continuously operating companies in the State of Texas and a bran trusted all across America for generations. The history of Imperial is very interesting. Click here to read more.
We started our visit with a great cup of coffee. The coffee we had was from Rwanda. We enjoyed watching how the gal made our fresh-brewed cup of coffee.
It was a typical farmers market with locally grown produce ranging from carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.
The biggest carrots we have ever seen!
There were also a couple booths of bake goods, honey sales, a few people selling handmade crafts, and several people selling spices.
We purchased a delicious blueberry scone and pizza bread from this gal.
We stopped for awhile at an India booth selling India spices and breads. Houston has a culturally diverse population with a significant population from India as well as numerous other countries. We were delighted with the unusual tastes of this gal’s spices and breads and made a couple purchases to take home.
After visiting for about an hour, we headed back to the Houston Elks Campground to relax for the rest of the day.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!
I am really in need of a good farmers market. We need to return to Salem, Oregon just for the huge markets:) I saw those rainbow carrots in your photo. I love rainbow carrots! They don't taste any different just more fun to eat with all the colors:) Looks a nice market with lots of tasting...yum!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great market. We're always drawn to the baked goods, too.
ReplyDeleteLove farmers markets and that one looks pretty nice.
ReplyDeleteThose farmer's markets are great. We love checking them out. Some we found in Florida weren't as good as in other places though. It seems some went to the local Walmart and purchased some of the goodies! :(
ReplyDeleteI really need to try and find a farmer's market somewhere around here.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great farmer's market with a diverse selection of goodies. The blueberry scone and pizza bread sound really good!
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like a real farmers market. Most of the ones we have been to lately are pretty sad.
ReplyDeleteWe always try to hit local farmer markets wherever we are.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading about the market ... we arrive in Houston on a Saturday and leave for Corpus on a Saturday, so looks like we'll miss this market this time. But I will have to show Mui how they brewed your coffee ... he'll get a chuckle out of that.
