The market is year-round! There are more ways to learn about the local food system, there are more community gathering events, and there is much more to accomplish to connect the farmers to you. The market is growing! The market is a project of the Sustainable Food Center, a local 501 (c)(3) nonprofit. We operate the market because it is an important extension of our mission, to improve access to local, healthy and affordable food for children and adults in Central Texas. We have been involved in doing this in a variety of ways since 1975. Support local (within 150 miles) farms, ranches, dairies and nurseries and have a hoot of a time while you are doing it in our beautiful site in downtown Austin! The Austin Farmers' Market (AFM), a growers-only market, is an exciting and bountiful place to buy your fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, eggs and plants. When you shop at the AFM, you get the freshest, most delicious foods available from the growers themselves! There are plentiful prepared foods, farm products turned into jams, salsas and honey, and hand-made crafts. Chef's demos, children's activities, and live local musicians make supporting local growers fun! Located in the heart of downtown at Republic Square Park (4th and Guadalupe), the market is a vital part of the community and the Austin experience.
