In these mini gatherings of ours, we have this tradition of adding some home-cooked food to our dinner table. These occasions are always anticipated because all of us can catch up on our personal lives while we enjoy the food that we prepare for each other.
In the typical me fashion, I tend to matter load and research each time I either fly or drive into Houston, and a great way to start my research is by keeping in touch with the vendors at what was once my usual farmers market haunts. Houston, like many other urban hubs in Texas, boasts a wide variety of Farmers Markets but not all are equal. In my many adventures into H-Town, I’ve narrowed down my own picks of Farmers Markets that offer a good variety of vegetables, meats, and some healthy snacking in-between.
