Winter Growing Season

And remember that right here in Central Texas, at the start of our winter growing season, we can go to our farmers markets and buy jalepeno peppers, tomatoes, citrus fruits, all kinds of greens, nuts, root vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower and squashes—a real bounty of fresh food for the holidays!

Make sure to check out our 3rd Annual Eat Local Week—December 5-12. Local restaurants will be sourcing local items for their menus as well as many great events that feature local food artisans.
