If you’re headed to any of Leander’s fantastic Farmers Markets soon, you are participating in a thousands-year-old activity. Did you know that Farmers Markets date back to over 5,000 years ago? Farmers in Egypt used to gather alongside the Nile River to sell their fresh goods and set off what would become a booming trend in gaining access to the freshest foods. The first United States market popped up in 1634 in Boston, Massachusetts, and ten years later, other major cities quickly followed suit. Today, thousands of markets operate around the country, with a recent growth from around 2,000 to more than 8,000. So, where can Leander residents find their pick of the freshest and local goods? Let’s take a look at Leander Farmers Markets.
