Come to the Harlingen Farmers Market (HFM) every Saturday from October 28, 2023 through mid-June 2024 to find fresh, local produce, food products, and unique gifts from local businesses and artisans.
The market offers the community sustainably grown produce and food products, grown using organic principles, all of which are produced within 50 miles of the market. HFM also gives small businesses and artisans an outlet for their unique products such as soap, pottery, jewelry, holistic tea blends, plants, dried herbs, and more.
HFM board member Canda LePage said, “we’re excited to welcome back our returning vendors and hope to add a few new ones as well. The market is a fantastic way to not only get some of the best local produce around, but also to support local farmers and small businesses.”
