Anthony, Texas Opens New Farmers Market

My info is sketchy, but this is what I learned from Joe Falkner, President of the El Paso County Master Gardeners Association:

"Anthony, Texas has opened a Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. The Market is in the Anthony city park, 1/2 mile west of I-10 exit 1. It is a beautiful park, lots of grass and large trees, with several large covered picnic tables. They opened on 30 May, and actually had two farmers selling their produce, even though it is early. They also had several craft booths. The organizers said they had commitments from other farmers to participate once they had produce to sell. The market is open on 2nd and 4th Saturdays each month."

Anthony, New Mexico/Texas has been called the "leap year capital of the world".

  1. So glad to hear that the Upper, Upper Valley will be served with a farmers' market. Fresh, locally-grown fruits and veggies are the way to go!
