September 21st Market Review
The Lubbock Downtown Farmers Market had a rainy but good market this past Saturday! Rain or shine we will be there with our vendors ready to sell you fresh produce and homemade items. This market we were lucky to only have sporadic sprinkles and the heavy stuff held off until after the market. We have 
four more markets left this season so don’t hesitate to stop by and shop with us! LDFM is having a food drive for the South Plains Food Bank pantry so drop off your food donations or cash donations with us! When you do donate you are entered to win $50 in market vouchers.
We are thankful to have such wonderful vendors who are just as excited as we are to give the community a good market. Even though some of our farmers couldn’t get out of their fields to make it to the market, we still had many at the market. 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 
amounts 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 some great new additions to our snacks as Canyon Rim Granola was with us this week selling granola varieties like Coco Banana, Lemon Blueberry, Cranberry Vanilla, and Cinnamon Peach! We also had Fabcorn which is made 100% from corn and it is free of kernels and hulls! They are always trying to come up with different flavors to match the season!
Some highlights of our usual vendors for me this week was that Diamond C Meats makes their own buns to go with their hamburger meat! Plainview farms has the condiments covered since they sell ketchup and mustard at their stand, as well as cornmeal to make cornbread with the black-eyed peas you get at the market (we have lots!). We also have a great selection of jellies and jams at the market. With Block 20 having watermelon, peach, wild plum, pepper, and apricot; and Bob’s Jelly at the Onion Shed having 
wild mustang grape, plum, blueberry, strawberry, peach, cherry, and apricot, you will never run out of flavor options!
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 fabulous dog is Steve! He is our Tornado Gallery ‘Dog of the Day!’ for September 21st. We LOVE those ears!!!
