September 28th Market Review
After a long night of storms, the rain went away just in time to allow for the market to open! There was a slight bit of rain quickly followed my sunshine to make a wonderful rest of the market! We at Lubbock Downtown Farmers Market want to thank those who donated to the food drive, money and food items 
for the South Plains Food Bank. LDFM loves giving back to the community and thanks those who help us do it! We are not done as at each Market we try to have a nonprofit set up to raise money. This next week we will have the humane society back letting our market goers see if any of their animals are a match for their family!
Even with vendors out due to rain, we had a great turnout this week! Luckily this late in the season we are glad to still have a great variety. As the market transitions from summer to fall/winter veggies, we have a little of each so that you have a variety to choose from! We get to see some Honey Crisp apples from our vendor The Orchard. This is one of those fall fruits that we can’t wait to have all summer! Their stand always has great apple butters as well as apple cakes and other apple products, so why not try the ones that they grow! Another, I’m sure, well anticipated veggie that has started to pop up at the market are pumpkins! We had a couple of vendors that had them including Sunburst Farms who graced us with their presence this past week. Pumpkins are great for decorating for fall or for eating like roasting the seeds! We still have great mounts of squash varieties, onions, lots of red and green tomatoes (which are great for salsa), bell peppers, okra, and an awesome variety of peppers right now (jalapeno, serrano, Anaheim, chile de ancho, etc). We still have delicious watermelons and cantaloupes that are picked right off the vine for LDFM shoppers to enjoy!
This week we had a new vendor selling Lamb! LDFM is happy to have great vendors who serve the 
variety of meats we have! Anywhere from lamb, chicken, beef, pork, and even fish! At the market you are able to buy everything you need for a tasty meal!
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. Congrats to Molly!!!! She’s our Tornado Gallery ‘Dog of the Day!’ for September 28th. Sit, Stay, Good girl!!!!
