DRIPPING SPRINGS – Dripping Springs has the top farmers market in Texas for the third time in four years.
“It has been an honor to be part of this community that recognizes the importance of local food and art,” said Gouri Johansen, chair of the DSFM Board. “I am very proud of the vendors and market staff for providing excellent products and service to our customers.”
A three-month-long nationwide vote was organized by American Farmland Trust, which celebrates farmers markets across the country. Markets were voted on by patrons and shoppers at thousands of farmers markets across the nation.
“I’m grateful for the Dripping Springs Farmers Market,” said Nikki Dahlin with the DSFM Board. “To be able to buy the most nourishing local foods and fine crafts in one place on a weekly basis is a rare privilege. It’s a chance to learn about how wholesome food is raised and prepared, and to build valuable connections in a festive environment. I’m fortunate and delighted to be able to participate.”
The Dripping Springs Farmers Market is operated by the city of Dripping Springs and has a volunteer board of directors. The market is held from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. every Wednesday at Veterans Memorial Park, also known as “The Triangle,” located at the RR 12/U.S. 290 intersection.
