✅ Tips for Visiting in July

Start early—aim for opening time to beat the heat, crowds, and have the best pick.

Hydrate & dress light—bring a refillable bottle and wear breathable clothes.

Bring eco-totes or baskets—plastic bags are scarce and less eco-friendly.

Check photos/vendors ahead—markets like Mueller post weekly vendor lists by Friday

Bring cash—though most vendors accept card, small bills are appreciated and help avoid card fees.

Pack ice packs—perfect for keeping fresh eggs or cheese chilled during your stroll.

July is prime time for Texas produce—tomatoes, peaches, melons, okra, greens, berries, and more. These markets offer more than groceries—they're community hubs, foodie events, and perfect spots to enjoy Austin summer weekends. Make a morning of it: grab a snack, browse crafts, listen to live music, and savor seasonal flavors. 🌻
