Domain Farmers Market will officially close down its weekly operations on June 28, according to market manager Emylee Boone.
The context
The farmers market opened at The Domain in November 2023, bringing a range of 45 vendors to the shopping plaza on Sundays from noon-4 p.m. Market offerings include farm fresh produce, meat, eggs, cut flowers, artisan goods and homemade dog treats.
Dive deeper
The market will be closing due to Simon Property Group’s future leasing plans and concerns from incoming tenants, Boone explained.
“We are deeply saddened by this decision from Simon [Property Group],” Boone said. “We really do hate having to tell vendors and small businesses that you will not have a permanent home on Sundays where you have grown your regulars and you’ve grown clientele and we’ve grown with the community.”
Market leaders are considering transitioning the Sunday market to a new location in Northwest Austin, though no plans are confirmed at this time, Boone said. Criteria for a new location includes visibility and proximity from the road, a spot where vendors can grow and somewhere that accommodates the Domain Farmers Market vendors and regulars.
One more thing
As the market is slated to close this summer, patrons can find many of the same vendors on Saturdays at Lakeline Farmers Market located at the Lakeline Farmers Market in Cedar Park.
