I have been wanting to buy local for a long time and finally was able to visit one of the handful farmers market in San Antonio that is close to us. Most markets open in mid May. The map below shows the locations of farmers market by the South Texas Farmers Market for the year 2008.
Most of them open from 9am – 2pm and you will need to bring cash. The produce is priced anywhere from $3 – $6 per container/pint.
We bought some blackberries from the Grady Bar-B-Que #2 location couple weeks ago and they were super sweet and we had them with some vanilla ice cream as suggested by the farmer who sold the berries to us.
We also bought a few cucumbers and they had a lot more flavor than the ones we bought in the grocery store.
Support local farmer! Buy local!

Yeeee haw and lucky you! Warmer weather means fresh produce down there, unlike up here in Colorado, where there’s still snow on the ground. Enjoy!
