Early summer time brings to market a Central Texas favorite, PEACHES! We’re calling our June celebration “Peaches & Cream.” Barton Creek Farmers Market’s celebration is Saturday, June 15th from 9 AM – 1 PM at Barton Creek Mall and Sunday, June 16th from 10 AM – 2 PM at Highland Mall. Chris Caskey Orchards and other Central Texas peach growers will be supplying local, organic peaches and Full Quiver Farms provides the their non-homogenized, low temp pasturized milk, cream and yogurts for our “Peaches and Cream” tasting. Winfield Farm and Star Farmers Market both turn fruit from the market into unforgettable jams, jellies and fruit butters. Keep your eye out for the peach butter, ginger rhubarb jam, bluebarb and strawberry rhubarb jams. You won’t find these handmade selections in grocery stores. Peaches aren’t the only early summer treat at Barton Creek Farmers Market. Farmers Market farm, fresh eggs can’t be beat and for family meals we have extra sweet, organic corn-on-the-cob and sweet farm tomatoes along with other local veggies. This is a great time to think about barbequing with bison or longhorn steaks … all available regularly at Barton Creek Farmers Markets.
