August 10th Market Review
This week’s market was a HOT one this week, not surprisingly as it is August in Texas. We had over forty vendors this week even with this crazy hot weather. It’s almost time for back to school so there were many families out and about soaking up the last of the summer before school starts.
Lots of summer veggies were available with squash, zucchini, green beans, okra, onions, tomatoes,
black eyed peas, potatoes, corn, bell peppers, jalapenos and other spicy peppers, celery, carrots, lettuce, kale, chard, and more! We also had berries, strawberries, peaches, and melon varieties. Our vendors have a lot of knowledge they would love to share with you about all of their produce, where it comes from, how it grows, and even how to cook it. If you’re looking to start growing your own plants we have vendors who sell herb plants like basil and dill, as well as a vendor who sells citrus tree varieties like grapefruit, orange, lemon and lime!
We also have meat options at the market. Diamond C has bacon and sausage, many different types of beef including bones for broth, and different cuts as lamb as well. Holy Cow Beef also carries varieties of beef, pork, chicken, and fish. They actually get their fish from another vendor who use them in hydroponic farming (so be sure to ask questions to learn more!) We have Honey Hen farms also who sell whole chicken or cuts as well as eggs in different sizes. If you’re looking for egg variety Onion Shed farms has duck eggs!
We were happy to welcome a new baker last week, Café Beni, a much-requested addition to the market. This week they offered a variety of boule, cinnamon rolls, strawberry lemon sweet rolls, French toast 
casserole, and kolaches! We also have many treat bakers as well as one with gluten free options! They have even doubled what they bring to the market as they sold out so quickly. Be sure to come early to get a taste of their wonderful baking!
LDFM has more than just food, as we have lavender spa products, candles, balms, t-shirts, jewelry, and more. There are also vendors that sell dog treats, doggie bag holders, dog outfits, dog bandanas, shampoos, and paw balms! We are lucky enough to also have a great relationship with dogs here at LDFM, even having stands dedicated specifically for them such as treats and outfits! Many vendors provide water bowls to keep your furry friends well hydrated. The Humane Society is at the market on the first Saturday of each month giving you the chance to add a loving addition to your family.
Each week we take a photo of the Dog of The Day sponsored by The Tornado Gallery. A girl named George! ❤️ This darling Dog is our Tornado Gallery ‘Dog of the Day’! When you see George out and about at the Lubbock Downtown Farmers Market be sure and tell her congratulations!
