THE BEAUMONT FARMERS MARKET

Did you know that Texas has one of the longest growing seasons in the United States? That means we have access to a wide variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables all year long!

Eating seasonally also helps to reduce your carbon footprint, since food that is grown locally doesn’t have to be shipped long distances. Plus, supporting local farmers is always a good idea! Buying seasonal produce helps keep small farms in business, which is good for both the economy and the environment.

After a cold start, the Beaumont Farmers Market is open and the spring produce has arrived. Open from 8-11 am every Saturday, mid-January through mid-December, the market offers seasonal produce and local favorites. The BFM will spring forth this month with lots of leafy greens, beets, carrots, potatoes, squash, carrots, cabbage, onions, flowers, leeks, fennel and more. Tomatoes will be arriving soon. Our advice: buy what you will use and no more. But the market is so much more than produce. Come check out our jelly and salsa vendors or load up protein such as chicken, beef, pork, lamb, and shrimp. Pair it off with Pop Pop’s BBQ Sauce and Signature Blend Seasoning, great for your barbecues and crawfish boils.

New this season: Yoga every first Saturday, Story Time with the Beaumont Public Library at 10:00 every second Saturday, and Jason Knox providing ambiance on the guitar while you browse. Also new are three bread vendors, including Guatemalan breads from Super Antojo.

Most vendors will take credit cards, cash apps, and of course cash. Bring your own bag and get to know the vendors while you shop–they love to visit, plus they can tell you how their food was grown and raised.

Support the seasons, support your local economy, support the environment, and support your local farmer!
