Urban Harvest's Bayou City Farmers Market

The market supports the families of local farmers and helps stimulate the local economy. Every Saturday the market offers fruits, vegetables, coffee, meats from grass fed cattle, honey amongst many other products. The farmers at Urban Harvest produce on a small scale and raise grass fed cattle, local honey, eggs from cage free birds and products prepared with goat's milk. There are weekly events ranging from live music and culinary demonstrations in which local products at the market are used.

The market is open on Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.

Urban Harvest is a nonprofit organization that uses fruit, vegetable and habitat gardens to improve quality of life in the greater Houston area. These gardens serve to educate, strengthen community spirit, create therapeutic environments and provide food and income. They teach organic gardening techniques, help neighborhoods build successful community gardens, create outdoor classrooms at schools that teach core curricula, nutrition and respect for the environment, provide fresh, locally grown food, and encourage responsible land use.  Their work benefits everyone by improving food, diet and health. It also builds engaging schools, neighborly communities, and valuable local businesses that together sustain and improve our environment.
