Nrh Farmer’s Market

They are always on point with seasonal veggies. The garden section is thriving and don’t sleep on their house brand salsas.

Just fantastic, local produce and other goodies (including local, raw honey)! You won’t be disappointed!

We buy pretty much all our produce and most of our plants here. Their prepared salsa and guacamole are among my favorites of each. They have honey from KELLER… it doesn’t get more local than that unless you’re a beekeeper. They have a great assortment of pottery and garden kitsch. As my wife once declared, «I want to buy everything they sell.» And no one… NO ONE has better avocados. I’ve accused them of being part of the avocado mob because no one comes close. The plants are all healthy and well taken care of. Great place… support local and buy everything you can buy here.

Finally, was able to stop and peruse this place! What beautiful stock they had and everything looked so healthy and well cared for. Everyone that worked there was friendly and helpful. Their herb selection was good and as far as pricing… wish I’d found time to stop here before I spent so much on spring/​summer color I purchased for more at higher priced nurseries!
I’ll be back… SOON!

I love this place! Always has great looking produce. They even carry one of my favorite jams– traffic jam! The tamales they sell are great too!

Once summer hits, I’m at this place at least once every couple of weeks. I love the fresh summer produce and have had fun embracing some of the southern preparations for them. Who knew that green beans and those small red potatoes (creamers?) cooked together (with a little ham or bacon fat — mmmmm) for longer than I’ve ever cooked green beans or potatoes could be so delicious. Just add a salad and corn bread and mmm-​mmm-​mmm! And how delicious is maque choux (okra, corn, tomato, andouille, etc.)?! And peach-​blueberry cobbler. In the next few days, I’m going to continue this culinary journey and make something I’ve never made or had before — Tomato Pie (there was a recipe in the June 2012 Southern Living mag that sounded really yummy —
). The East Texas tomatoes I’ve bought the last few weeks have been really good. The Hubs (who had never lived in the South before we moved here 5 years ago) never knows what’s going to hit him for dinner!
Of course there’s plenty more produce than what I’ve yummied above, but that’s the stuff I look forward to every year. Oh yea, and Vidalia onions, and purple hull peas, and yellow squash, and … They also sell some Boar’s Head products and Horizon organic milk. Fresh salsa. Fresh tortillas. Dried beans. Nuts. Chips. Pickled goods and jams. Peanut brittle with jalapeño! Etc. Etc.
They also have a very sizable garden center. I haven’t spent nearly as much time in there as I have inside with the vegetables, but every spring it’s a riot of color.
The people who work here are very friendly making it a pleasant place to shop. The only problem is the tiny parking lot which can make parking a challenge if you shop at peak times.

BTW, the tomato pie was REALLY good!

I practically receive whiplash every Spring, driving past this Farmer’s Market that is always bursting with the most vibrant and beautiful annuals and perennials. And upon closer inspection, I have realized what a diamond in the rough this place is compared to the Lowe’s, Home Depot’s and the Plant Shed’s in the area… which seem overpriced and scantily clad (variety wise.)
Not only have I found beautiful, hard to find TX native perennials here, but I also love the great selection of herbaceous plants, sedums, and vines! And my boys love the fresh fruits and veggies… (mom loves the great prices!) The staff has always been more than helpful and very knowledgeable.
Even though I am not the most experienced gardener, I send people here regularly when I receive a compliment on some flower or plant that a purchased here. Can’t say it enough, I LOVE the NRH Farmer’s Market!!!
