About our Market

The Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market is a project of Bastrop Sustainable Agricultural Community, a non-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation.

Our mission includes running the Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market  to provide Bastrop and the surrounding region with locally grown foods and farm products in direct farm-to-consumer marketing that serves a  diverse population, preserves and promotes our local agriculture and improves the quality of life in the greater Bastrop County area.

We provide a market designed for farmers and artisans, including those who are economically disadvantaged, to sell their farm and ranch products,  artisan goods, prepared foods and other handmade products.

The Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market improves access to local, healthy, affordable food for children and adults while assisting family farmers and ranchers to create a local, sustainable agricultural economy.

Our market also helps to ensure that the needy have access to the healthy food, through our Demonstration & Giving Garden which is harvested by the Bastrop Food Pantry and with cash donations from our Spare Change Campaign.

In addition, Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market provides education about agriculture and teaches young people how to grow and sell food through our school garden programs.

We feature regular food/cooking demonstrations to provide information on preparing fresh foods and maintains a library of free recipes and gardening handouts.
