New Saturday Market Begins May 29!

We're starting another farmers' market in Manor! This market will be in addition to the Wednesday downtown market. The new market will start this Saturday at 3pm and go until 7pm. The location will be Manor New Technology High School on 290. The address is 10323 U.S. Highway 290.

We are very happy to offer this opportunity to those of you who are unable to make the Wednesday market. If you know of anyone that may want to participate, please let them know.

For the Saturday Market this week, so far we have: peaches, berries, beets, carrots, loads of all kinds of squash, green beans, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, onions, cucumber, cabbage, chard, magenta spreen ( a beautiful plant that was once used for make-up, spinach family) and fresh herbs. We will also have farm fresh eggs from happy healthy chickens. Our central Texas farmers are from Cele, Dimebox, Mexia, Chriesman and two from Manor.

A Wild Soap Bar is a Manor family owned, local micro-business serving up wildly aromatic, truly natural native soaps & body balms for your ultimate bathing pleasure since 1995. AWSB products are sold at Whole Foods, Central Market, select HEB's and fine boutiques across the country. But you can take advantage of their special discounted farmers market prices right here in Manor! Use the contact form on the website to order any item for special delivery to the market or simply browse their weekly selection when you get there. The Soap Bartender would absolutely love to meet you, so stop by and say hello.

Goodwin Homestead of Manor will offer her sparkling hand made stained glass mosaics. Beautiful in the garden or in a window with the sunlight shining through. Plus lovely, hand knitted and felted 100% wool purses. No two are alike. Each purse is uniquely embellished with hand embroidery.


Handmade by Hartley will be at the new market with all of her handcrafted home decorations, quality greeting cards and all sorts of colorful knickknacks, doodads and thingamajigs.

The Gardeners Feast will be serving organic masa tamales in vegan, vegetarian or with meat. Also, organic blue corn gorditas and blue corn tortillas. Adrian has the Mexican restaurant across from Manor Grocery and uses locally sourced produce and cheese whenever possible.

Manorite Volkmar, The Spud King as he likes to be called, will be at the market making German potato pancakes for us with apple sauce and/or sour cream, bratwurst on a bun and Goulash. Volkmar will have cold drinks for sale too.

There will be shade, cold drinks, tables and chairs at the market. Denise is still looking for music if you know someone....

As always, the Manor Farmers' Market is looking for more local farmers, craftsmen, prepared food vendors, artisans and community members to participate in our endeavor to bring fresh, locally grown food to our residents. Call Denise LoSchiavo at
512.278.1611 for more info.

Market Offerings for Jan. 20

Thanks so much for allowing us to sell Girl Scout cookies at the Farmers' Market. Here are the dates of when we will be there: Jan. 27th, Feb. 3rd, 10th, and 17th.

Munkebo Farm: will have cabbage, green onions, escarole, kale, lettuce, cilantro, arugula, oregano, thyme, various dried herbs, candied walnuts, berry pie, basil-walnut pesto, balsamic vinaigrette, artichoke dip, bread and chicken tamales.

Laverne's Vegetable Patch
: For the market this week I will have Salsa -- Eggs -- and Little Green Onions.

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.This week try her Rice Noodle salad with cabbage, tofu, carrot, bell pepper, tomatoe & spices. It is vegan and gluten free. Also Tomato Basil Soup, yummy.

: Texas Wendish Heritage Society Noodles made the old fashioned way just like his mamma used to make using only eggs, flour and salt.

We were able to harvest the remainder of our Tatuma and Zucchini squash and Hot Peppers beforehand though. So, this will be the last week for each of those items. We still have plenty of the cold-weather-loving turnips and turnip greens, mustard greens, lettuce, broccoli, collard greens, radishes, and new for this week CABBAGE. Also, as we had to harvest all of our still-green tomatoes, we have a new batch of CHOW-CHOW made up. In addition, we'll have the usual fare of Dill Pickles, Pickled Beets, and Jalapeno Jelly.

All of our chickens (broilers and layers) are "Pastured", meaning, they are out on the grass/fields and are able to scratch the earth and eat as many bugs and/or grass that they can find!
