You can also get Dillo Dirt compost for your gardens at these places: http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/water/dillovendors.htm

Yeah, that's the one - the Austin's Historic Farmer's Market. They get a ton of traffic on the weekends. I'm surprised you didn't cover it.

Yes; it's homemade and organic and it really works.

You left out the oldest farmers' market: South Austin Farmers' Market, Saturdays in the parking lot of El Gallo on South Congress, from 9 to 1; all organic. This Saturday there will be cucumbers. pears, red or green okra, onions, bunch basils,peppers, figs, eggs, fresh baked breads, canned goods, pestos, herb plants and fertilizer.

I think that one, although it has the Austin Farmers Market sign, is called "Austin's Historic Farmer's Market" now. I know it's not part of the official "Austin Farmers' Market." That doesn't mean it isn't a farmers market in Austin, though. http://www.chooseaustinfirst.com/member/251/Austins_Historic_Farmers_Market.html

Nope. It's on Burnet Road behind the Brentwood Tavern and Dog Almighty. It's open every day and it's got a huge archway you drive through to park in the back that has AUSTIN FARMER'S MARKET written on it if I'm not mistaken.

If there is one there, I don't think it's the Austin Farmer's Market, at least not in my experience. Maybe it is this one? Burnet Farmers' Market 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. 211 East Jackson Street

Isn't the Austin Farmer's Market down Burnet by Dog Almighty?
