Downtown Farmers Market
July 24,2012
The Cowtown Farmers Market located in Lanham Plaza (1000 Throckmorton Street) brings a producer only farmers market to Downtown Fort Worth every Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.. Wondering what “producer only” means? It means that everything sold is either grown, raised or produced within 150 miles of Fort Worth.
Some tips for visiting the farmers market:
- Bring your own shopping bags or baskets to hold purchases.
- In hot weather, bring a cooler and ice packs for perishable items, such as cheeses, lettuces, herbs and other fragile greens.
- Bring cash, small bills preferred. Most vendors will accept checks, and some do take credit/debit cards.
- Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome. Please use grassy areas as needed, and clean up afterwards.
- Please handle the produce gently.
- Feel free to ask questions about growing practices, preparing your purchase or any other issue or concern. Know your farmer (or producer), know your food!
- Many vendors welcome restaurant/wholesale business. Please make these arrangements in advance by contacting the vendors directly.
