Farmers Markets allow buyers to purchase directly from the grower, often resulting in less expensive, fresher produce. Plus buying from a local vendor helps build community and provides venues for socialization. Most Farmers Markets’ lists of vendors go way beyond farm products and often include those who sell herbs, candles, cheeses, and a variety of other artisan items. Many markets like those right here in Magnolia, Montgomery County, and Conroe also have live music and entertainment events to enhance the experience. Here are some great options to visit here in Montgomery County.
