“Fresh, Local and In Season---All Year Round”

That’s the motto of the new Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market just celebrating our first anniversary this May 2009. All of us at the Market give thanks to our many customers who have helped us thrive during our first year and hope to keep satisfying you with all our wonderful products. Our vendors are professional farmers, ranchers and artisans and welcome the opportunity to share the bounty of our efforts

Our Market is located at 1302 Chestnut Street by the Railroad Tracks, inside the Market building at the back of the lot. The convenient Market hours are Tuesday afternoon from 2:30 - 6pm and Saturday mornings from 10 am -2pm. We are open every week of the year with fresh produce and tasty prepared foods, locally raised eggs and meat, and a variety of handcrafted goods by artisans. There is plenty of free parking on the lot and having the market inside the large metal building is great during a variety of less than pleasant weather conditions we experience here in Bastrop.

Our mission as a non-profit 501( c ) 3 corporation (Bastrop Sustainable Agricultural Community) is to support the sustainability of agriculture in and around Bastrop County and to enable low income families access to low cost, fresh produce. The Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market is a project of the Corporation.  In our desire to educate the public, especially children about gardening, we established a School Garden for Mina Elementary in the fall of 2008 and have started work on a community garden on Shiloh Rd. in cooperation with Trinity Zion Church. This year, we will build a demonstration garden on the Market grounds and donate the produce to our local food pantry.

Our market is a Certified Farmers Market by Texas Dept of Agriculture and certified by the Texas Department of Health to accept W.I.C. vouchers. In addition, the market is a member of the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Go Texan Program of the Texas Department of Agriculture, designed to help promote Texas grown and produced items.

The Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market is expanding and looking for more vendors, especially farmers. Please contact Erika Bradshaw at 512-360-4799 or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information.
