June 27th Market Review
Lubbock Downtown Farmers Market had its fifth market in the 2020 season this past Saturday, June 27th with lots of fresh local produce to buy, and food trucks offering amazing food and beverages. The weather was very comfortable. The day started out in the mid 70s and rose to the mid 80’s by the market close. There were around 40 vendors at this market with new vendors making their first appearance and old ones coming back.
Because of the current COVID-19 conditions, LDFM has set up sanitizing stations, given guidelines to navigate the market at safe distances, all vendors now wear masks and we encourage our guests
and vendors to stay home if they feel they may have symptoms. We are excited for the 2020 LDFM season, as are the vendors! We have many vendors returning, as well as many new ones. Some of our vendors have expanded what they are offering as well.
As we are getting deeper into the growing season more and more produce is coming in. Our vebdors have squashes, melons, root veggies, Spinach, Spring Mix, Arugula, Baby Kale, Dill, Parsley, Rosemary, Mint, Rainbow Mix, Radish Shoots, Micro Cilantro, Sunflower Shoots, Fava Bean Shoots, Pea Shoots, Green Onions, Green Garlic, Fresh Shallots, Garlic Scapes, Radishes, Mushrooms and more. There are even some frozen black eyed peas and fresh melons appearing at the market. Pat’s Produe returned to the market and they had a lot of frest tomatos for sale! The further into the season we get, the more vendors will have! More sweets are available as well like macaroons and fried pies and new bakers will be coming in future markets. One of our more popular bakers, Beni Vegan, Organic Bakery had Bread, Sweet 
Rolls, Stuffed Buns, Cookies, Coffee Cake, Muffins and more!
LDFM loves arts & crafts, and we have some great vendors who do as well. We had a new stand selling art kits, woodworking, handmade potholders, and more. We also were honored with a visit from Paul Bullock to sell copies of his kids book The Big, Big Man and the Tiny Little Mouse.
The Lubbock Downtown Farmers Market provides a family friendly environment and offers a safe, exciting atmosphere in downtown Lubbock. We are also very dog friendly for our well-behaved, leashed four-legged visitors. Many of our vendors provide dog bowls to keep your fur babies well hydrated. Congratulations to Smokie! (pictured below). He is our Tornado Industrial/Arts ‘Dog of the Day!’ The DOTD is selected at random every Saturday during the Lubbock Downtown Farmers Market!
