Farmers' Markets in Lubbock (Spring, Levelland: for sale, 2013, construction)

[mvintar]

I didn't know there were farmers' markets in Lubbock, but apparently there are a bunch. A book by John Robbins suggested going to:

http://www.localharvest.org/search.jsp?map=1&lat=33.570446&lon=-101.86124&scale=9&nm=&zip=79411

and a bunch of them came up in the Lubbock area. I had no idea. I mean, other than Sprouts, which I think is a national chain.

Anyone have experience with any of these:

Thank you for posting this! That is so awesome to hear. I thought I did some research on this a while back and found out there is a farmer's market down on Avenue Q somewhere but I can't recall.

Now my only problem is that I won't have a car when I come back to Lubbock, so how to manage the farmer's market without one...

I've never paid attention to the name, but I shop at a farmer's market at the intersection of US 87 and 82nd St. I recently read that a Natural Grocers will be opening in Lubbock. It is a chain, but apparently carries locally-grown produce. Natural Grocers to open Lubbock location, offer local organic produce | Lubbock Online | Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

Djuna: Sorry it took so long to respond to this. But a couple of these farmers deliver for a small fee. Check the links. I think the very first one does. You could also carpool with someone once a month.

No, click the link to read about it. Natural Grocers hasn't even built yet, Sprouts is already in operation.

You're so right. Wolf Creek is the one that delivers to your door for a nominal fee:
