McAllen Farmers Market

Established as a Texas Department of Agriculture Certified Farmers Market and a member of the GO TEXAN program, the McAllen Farmers Market has become a hub for community engagement in the Rio Grande Valley. It provides a platform for local farmers and artisans to sell their goods directly to consumers.

The market emphasizes the importance of locally grown produce, offering a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, free-range farm eggs, and raw/natural honey. By supporting local agriculture, it fosters a connection between consumers and the land, promoting healthier eating habits and sustainable farming practices.

Open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the McAllen Public Library, the market also features artisan goods, baked goods, health and beauty products, re-purposed crafts, and handcrafted jewelry. It serves as a creative space for the arts and a venue for collaboration among community-based organizations, offering learning opportunities and promoting the benefits of healthy eating.
