“Farmers markets have evolved into more of makers markets. You have people that bake, you have people that make artisan crafts. It diversifies what’s being offered there. Houseplants help beautify a person’s home. They add more oxygen to the air. People in Austin deserve places where they can beautify their homes,”

Liz Abunaw, Owner, Forty Acres Fresh Market

“The markets will be a welcoming environment for residents to gather safely outside and “bring more foot traffic and bring more activation” to Austin”
