Events held in Local Markets
Besides providing customers with the local farmers produce, they also schedule some other fun activities for their customers. The range of these activities vary and there is a little bit of everything for everybody. Here we will list some of those activities for you.
The Urban Harvest Farmers Market host several events, such as:
Fruit Tree Sales
On the second Saturday in January, Urban Harvest offers a large selection of top quality fruit trees chosen to grow in our climate.
The Garden Party
Annual spring fundraising Gala includes dinner, a silent auction and presentation of our programs and accomplishments.
Harvest Celebration
This annual fall event celebrates the hard work of community gardeners and teachers and volunteers in school gardens. This awards ceremony and potluck lunch is attended by dozens of area gardens each year.
The Houston Farmers Market also has events like the October Fest, a celebration of the marking to the beginning of the fall harvest.
The DiIorio Farms and Roadside Market is closely related to the Hempstead, the headquarters of the country's best Annual Watermelon Music Festival, so you're sure to get some fresh produce here hot-off-the-vine!
