September 7th Market Review
It was a great first September market! This week the South Plains Humane Society had a lot of well behaved dogs available for adoption in the Tornado Gallery courtyard. The humane society will be back the first weekend of October for their final appearance during the 2019 season. It was also the kick off to the LDFM food drive and fundraiser for the South Plains Food Bank. Thank you to all of you generous shoppers who donated food and cash donations to help nourish our neighbors in need. Dianne W. was the winner of the $50 market shopping spree drawing for those that donate. This charitable initiative will continue every Saturday in September. Bring canned goods or leave a donation at the info booth next Saturday and you will be entered for a $50 shopping spree too!
As summer starts to come to an end and fall starts up, crops begin to slow down. The Lubbock Downtown Farmers Market had 40 vendors in attendance this week! We still have a great selection at the market, so come shop while you can! We still have Lots of summer veggies 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, who you smell each week with the sausage on a stick, also carries varieties of beef, pork, chicken, and fish. They actually get their fish from another vendor who uses 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!
Don’t forget about the sweet treats that you can get at the market! We have vendors that offer breads, sweet rolls, brownies, lollipops, cookies and more! We also have great snacks like Texas Trash, pork rinds, and more. Out food trucks offer great breakfast or lunch for you while you shop around and enjoy the market!
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. Each week we take a photo of the Dog of The Day sponsored by The Tornado Gallery. This week it’s Charlie!!! She is our fabulous Tornado Gallery ‘Dog of the Day!’ When you spot her… give her a hug!
