Houston Farmer's Market will be at Rice University today, in the parking lot south of Rice Stadium. Free parking is available at Entrances 9, 13A, 13B and the Greenbriar Lot from 3:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Even though it starts during "normal business hours", the best selections are, of course, available early. This week, the Market will have, among other things: cucumbers, strawberries, peaches, gelato, summer squashes, dandelion, grass-fed beef, poultry, pork, bison, eggs, raw cow and goats milk cheeses, ready-to-eat foods, hydroponic tomatoes, hand made soaps, and organic gardening products. So, head on over and put some "green" in your lifestyle by working in organically and locally grown foods. While you're there, don't forget to check the selection of handmade items - you may need to treat yourself or replenish the gift closet.
