Mission and Vision

The objective of the Austin Town Hall City Market is to create access for residents to patronize family farms and local business owners by purchasing fresh, locally grown produce, prepared foods, baked goods, artisanal items, vegan and value-added products.

This market supports the local economy, keeps spending in the community, and invests in our area.

“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”
