Olive Oil Tamales and a Fresh Family Day

Anita's Gourmet from Brownsville is the first local commercial kitchen to eliminate lard from tamales. They've substituted Olive Oil, which offers a fresher and more flavorful tamale. With hand-ground Texas corn and chile cascabel, this Olive Oil tamale embraces authentic Mayan techniques, with ingredients spanning bean, chicken, pork, jalapeno, and a locally-produced white cheese. Get them at The Brownsville Farmers' Market  on Saturday mornings, 9am-noon, across from the zoo at 6th & Ringgold.

It's a great family day at the Brownsville Farmers' Market, with $3 admission to the Childrens' Museum of Brownsville, within walking distance from the Market. And 20% discount tickets to the zoo available at our market tent.

But mainly, the market is here to bring Texas Valley residents the finest vegetables and fruit, at great prices. And we accept the Lone Star Card.

Pesticide-free, locally-grown and more, the produce at The Brownsville Farmers' Market will open your eyes to the superior flavor of fresh food.

In recent weeks farmers have harvested green onions, tomato, cilantro, beets, luffah squash, radishes, kohlrabi, jalapeno, serrano peppers, broccoli and much more.

Herbs span dill, thyme, rosemary and more.

And don't forget farm eggs from several vendors, including Bayview Veggies, Gracia Farms and Buckeye Farms.

We'll have fresh orange juice, carrot juice and grapefruit juice. And local, grass-fed beef, lamb, and pork.

It's an awesome day of family fun and fresh food. Come out and join us!
