BCO & REI Present: Houston Gems – the Farmer’s Markets around Town! May 11, 2010

We have several Farmer Markets right here in the middle of the city, which bring in local organic produce, cheese, meats, jams, bread, prepared foods and crafts, several days each week!. Bring your (virtual) backpack, and let's plan a route to shop the markets on our bikes! There will be descriptions of the various markets, handouts to help you navigate the market calendars and a couple of maps to get you around the city on your bike or by car.
Not only will you learn the market secrets, you will also get a chance to meet some of the people who have put Houston on the map with our Farmer Markets. From one little co-op 10 years ago, to over 10 markets around the city and in the outlying countryside, Houston is Texas' top city for Farmer Markets!!

Speaker: Kelly Howard. Kelly has been leading the ever popular Farmer Market Tour on Bikes for about 5 years. Growing from 2 people who joined her for her typical Saturday bike & shop the markets to upwards of 100+ bike riders each month touring the city.
