Lone Star Farmers Market

Let me be clear, the vendors at the Lone Star Farmers Market are truly wonderful- creative, passionate, and a joy to support. I met some wonderful people on the few occasions that I shopped there, and found some great products as well! This review is solely about the management / organization team. The team that is running this market is unprofessional and unresponsive in addressing issues. It’s disappointing to see such a lack of communication and accountability behind the scenes.

Not many vendors and mostly merchant store vendors jewelry clothing CBD etc. Not many true farmers selling produce meat or eggs maybe one of each. My favorite both was Latin Roots selling these very unique house plants in these orbs that assist with self care....so cool. Sweet family run business on insta @latinrootsmarket.

Small market. But they do offer a variety of venders. Wild caught seafood, Gluten free pastries, home made candles, home made granola, and a few others. They are open every other Thursday from 4 to 7pm. Located in a little shopping center in Steiner Ranch.

More of a craft market than a farmer's market as there is only one produce vendor in the whole place. There were a couple of people selling ready-made food (Taco Deli and some BBQ truck) but ONLY one option for fresh, local produce, rather disappointing. For the most part other vendors were selling crafts; soaps and lotions, jewelry etc... It was a lovely way to spend a half hour and they had live music, but I wouldn't consider it a good choice if looking for ingredients for a special meal or stocking up for the week.

COVID19 SAFE- Charming vendors. Wine CBD, Amys Ice Cream Lobster Rolls - Woohoo!!

It's a great market, I love the diversity of vendors that attend. The price points can be a little high, but that's the same across the board for farmer's markets in the area. I can say that personally, I would never be able to shop regularly for any of my groceries at the markets around Austin. Otherwise, though, this market is awesome. Clothes, produce, eggs, milk, honey, nuts, homemade apothecary items, jewelry, etc. Plus there's less of a carny atmosphere than at the SFC Market, where it can be particularly difficult for a quiet person like me to extricate herself from the whole vendor customer, "Can I interest you in anything/we also have..." dance. I really enjoy our visits here, and my daughter lives for the marshmallows.

I had the pleasure of being a vendor at this market for over two years. I had wonderful neighbors, customers, and supportive market staff. I’ve moved on to Denver now but am so glad I got to be part of this vibrant Sunday market. Here’s to many more gorgeous Hill Country market days!
