Located just west of Bastrop, TX off Hwy71, it's an indoor farmers market open 5 days a week during evening commuter hours and weekends, where one person sells for many individual producers. It allows producers to sell at fair farmers market retail prices without sacrificing the time to be at market. And it allows for the individuality of the local producer, by offering room for the farm/producer to be identified,  post photos, recipes, general information and sales points.

Bastrop Producers Market, Inc. (BPM) will be made up of different kinds of producers, with an emphasis on local sustainable and organic food production. Fresh local vegetables and fruits, meats, cheeses, eggs, as well as canned goods, soaps and salves, herbs and more.

Bastrop Producers Market, Inc. will offer consumers a better opportunity to buy local sustainable and organic products, and to become better educated about these products. By opening during evening commuter hours, as well as both Saturday and Sunday afternoon, BPM will give consumers a better chance to buy the freshest, healthiest foods available, and to support local farmers.

My name is Jacque Gates, and I will be running it. My husband and I have lived in Bastrop county for 23 years. I have sold at both the Austin and Bastrop markets as a sustainable producer, and have been a market farmer for 5 years. Before that I commuted to Austin to work. I know what it means to be a market  farmer and a commuting consumer.

WE WILL BE OPENING MAY 14, 2008! NOT! Construction delays have pushed our soft opening date back to June 4, 2008. We're actually somewhat glad, because this gives us an extra couple of weeks to get more organized. And get a septic system in, and a parking lot done...well you get the picture. And speaking of pictures, this website is due an overhaul with pictures. Watch in the coming weeks for it!

This project has been a long time coming. For those in the Austin area, we were featured on Megan Campbells Go Green segment on April 29th. That's KEYE channel 42, CBS affiliate. She did a great job and we had fun telling about SIPs panels and the market.

So, we are opening in just a few weeks, hope you get by in June to see what's happening just west of Bastrop, Texas!
