Farmers Market Partners LLC is opening its second farmers market location on Nov. 18, this time in Sugar Land. Farmers Market Partners currently operates a market in Missouri City on Saturdays, known as Farmers Market by the Lake, at 2700 Lake Olympia Parkway Business Center. This new location at Mercer Stadium at 16403 Lexington Blvd. in Sugar Land, will be open Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. during football season and then on Saturdays, said Jill Argento, owner of Farmers Market Partners.
"We are very excited to be opening a new location," she said. "There will be dozens of vendors, food trucks and activities for children, including face painting and a photo opportunity with Mickey Mouse to celebrate his 90th birthday." Vendors will offer fruits, vegetables, pastured eggs, grass-fed beef, chicken and artisan food. In addition, market-goers can access an interactive map from the company's website to see which vendors will be at the market, where they are located and what they are selling, Argento said. Farmers Market Partners also has a smartphone app for patrons to place orders for pick-up at the market. In the future, there will also be a curbside pick-up option, she said.
