Edendell Farm: Our NEWEST farm joining the Manor Farmers' Market family is located 1 hour east of Austin Texas off highway 21, CR 403. "This time of year we offer “greenhouse grown” hydroponic Green Peppers which are a dark green medium size pepper with lots of flavor and nutrition. This is important distinction for the discerning shopper. The nutritional content and quality of organic produce depends upon the quality and health of the soil in which is grown. Product quality it is not just about being pesticide free. Simply having the label “organic” does not guarantee that the soil in which it is grown is adequate. Hydroponic is the technical name for plants that grow in “nutrient balanced” water systems which allow the plant to “take up” the maximum nutrient needed by the plant. That is why, in comparison to the light green look of typical green peppers (both organic and conventional) Edendell Peppers are a lush dark green. Try us! We also grow Tomatoes and will be looking forward to our first “vine ripe” harvest in late February."

Kala's Kuisine: Kala is always whipping up something new and different. I like to call it Near East/Southern fusion, her black eyed pea salad for New Years was divine. Stop by her booth for samples. Zippy Salsas, Spicy Chutney and a variety of hot sauces. Momos, Samosas, salads, hummus and pesto.
