Looking to grab some last-minute groceries for the crowd you're entertaining this Thanksgiving? Consider ditching the bored-looking security guards at the supermarkets this week and going local at a farmer's market:
Houston Farmer's Market has all the leafy greens you'll need to complement your turkey, as well as okra, shelled peas, and much more. They'll also have fresh chicken, beef, and lamb for less traditionalist cooks. Planning on being on the receiving end of someone else's cooking? Head down there anyway to pick up some fresh flowers for your host and show off the manners your momma taught you.

The Bayou City Farmer's Market has the ingredients to make the home-style dinner of your dreams. Check out their stands for sweet potatoes, collards, kale, and a host of other goodies. Ambitious baking types should definitely not miss their selection of fresh local eggs and sacks of shelled pecans.

Midtown Farmer's Market is shifting its normal weekend routine to host a special pre-Thanksgiving morning market to help you restock on all the kitchen staples that you were sure you had but have probably gone bad by now. Stock up on garlic, onions, mushrooms and yams and browse their selection of fresh breads, cheeses, pastries, and other prepared foods.
