New Braunfels Farmers Market ~ Every Saturday 9-1pm   ~ Downtown New Braunfels, Texas

Today I had a wonderful experience in downtown New Braunfels, Texas, I went to the Farmer's Market.  

It was obvious from the parking downtown that this was a much visited event. I parked right on the main street (one of the reasons that I LOVE living in New Braunfels) and walked less than a block away to the Farmer's Market. 

One nice thing was that all the vendors goods have to be things that are grown or made locally.   When I arrived I saw a huge variety flowers, cheese's, meats, vegetables, fruits, Oh, my the list could go on.   

There was some great homemade tamales (chicken & cilantro, poblano & feta cheese, vegetarian) very different and unusual combinations.  I'm used to ordering tamales by:  bean, pork or beef.  This was not the case here.  I'm steaming them now for lunch.  Check them out at: www.GourmetTamaleKitchen.com in Wimberly, Texas.  

So many vendors and such a variety that I couldn't stop turning my head.  I had a nice chat with some old timer farmer and tried a few different vegetables that I have never seen in my grocery store (nor never tried).   What a treat to be able to try something new and I'm now going to introduce to my family and see if they will like.  

Honestly, what I saw this morning was the freshest of produce that looked just picked and sure did beat my usual weekly grocery shopping drama fighting the crowds. 

There was fresh coffee, snacks, specialty nuts and even entertainment!
